I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

Very interesting post, very long but also interesting. I also agree with most of the points.

But I wonder why there is no mention of /kbin which has been a compatible alternative to Lemmy even during the Reddit exodus. It's also written in PHP which many people should have a much easier time to contribute to than Lemmy's Rust.

I've heard Kbin has been having major issues lately, the single dev is not the most active. There is a fork called mbin which seems promising.

They are different from Lemmy, though, and not for everyone. But variety is good.
