Proposing that Lemmy or Kbin could substitute for Reddit while not acknowledging that lack of search makes it impossible to find the appropriate groups in a decentralized maze of servers is very on-brand for the Mastodon crowd.

@fediverse
Me (who searched for the majority of communities I’m currently subscribed to): We don’t have what now?
oh no, so being federated with mastodon means we have to suffer getting those kinds of hot takes on our timeline?
As if Reddit search ever worked.
@osma if kbin doesn’t have a group you’re looking for, then make it on kbin. maybe it’s just my newbie kbinaut perspective but kbin groups come first, federation second.
People are so impatient! We’re at the start of a potential paradigm shift; these things take time and need time to develop.
Everyone’s so desperate for federated services to be drop in replacements. Let them be different, let them be better
I’m not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they’re technically cross compatible doesn’t mean they should be.
I think it uses the tweet content as both the post title and body when Lemmy tries to display masto tweets. Maybe the title should just be “Mastodon post from @username” tbh
