I really like the concept of a federated message board. This is what I wanted for my life. However, Lemmy.ml is kinda difficult to surf through comments and it’s actually bothering me. It actually clones the new reddit, while the old reddit was much better in terms of reading.
If you can identify exactly which things you like about old.reddit, you’ll have a much better chance of getting them as settings on Lemmy.
I think I will now try to work on listing these things, you are totally right!
