The problem with subscribing to communities at this point is the lack of content. I subscribed to a few different baseball communities, but none of them have anything other than maybe a welcome post or a few gameday posts without any comments. Communities are duplicated on a bunch of different instances too, which makes things a million times harder than it needs to be. I have no idea if one of the half dozen baseball communities I'm in now will make it big, if a new one entirely will make it big, or if they're all doomed to never have content.

I think the NSFW tag has to be more sharp, like only literal porn or gore is tagged NSFW. One of the most frustrating thing on r*ddit was that regular memes or text posts would get tagged as NSFW just for containing a swear word or something, so turning NSFW completely off would hide a ton of regular stuff too.

Definitely not xD

Won't fix usability issues with being the first subscriber to a community from an instance, won't add multi-community views, won't add support for grouping same-name communities from different instances, won't add moderator tools, won't add more granular federation options like Mastodon has, won't fix certain Mastodon -> Lemmy headaches they're dealing with, won't add different approval modes for users to instances, etc etc.

There's still a lot of work remaining to be done. WebSocket-related bugginess and the rankings are on the docket though.

Not sure what you're on about, the PR with the fix is merged and ready for the next release version.

0.18 will also remove websockets which will improve performance and error handling, but it will likely have it's own complications.

They're building the plane as we're flying and simultaneously boarding more passengers.
