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

A screenshot from the Lemmy matrix chat with a guy trying to scam/sell drugs to people — why is it unmoderated lol?

I don’t understand what’s happening in the chat, and people are super salty and not open to discussions so I see what you mean.

thanks for sharing :)

Unrelated question: I see a bunch of "X user liked this" and "Y user boosted this" and comments from what appears to be Mastodon on the bottom of your blog post. What wordpress plugin do you use to show the activity of the post being shared on the fediverse, at the bottom?

I use some of the plugins from this plugin suite: https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb/

I don't use all of them, but I mainly use the indieauth, syndication, and webmentions.

Webmentions & syndication are how I get the "X user liked this" and stuff, it's webmention display. I use brid.gy and connect it to my microblog fediverse account and it checks the replies to the syndicated post I make and pings it to the blog via webmentions. It's pretty solid. If you need any help setting it up I'm here though.

This is the first time I heard of Sublinks, and honestly after a quick look through here in Lemmy I get the impression that main devs of Lemmy and Sublinks can work together to improve what it is currently the best option (Lemmy).

I honestly think it is way too early to have a Lemmy "replacement" even if it is all running in the Fediverse, I just think it is a split of efforts, granted, I don't know all the background that runs behind and it seems like Sublinks dev does it like a hobby too.

Regarding moving communities to Sublinks, yeah, it is up to instance maintainers, but that is a no for me, heck, I already had to recreate my stuff from the dead FMHY account I had (there was no account migration at the time), it seems like adding more decentralization to me, and we already had that with multiple repeated communities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally, don't get me wrong, options and alternatives are always welcome in my book, but as I said before, it feels like way too early for me.
