Oh definitely. There are many things that lemmy needs to work on. It's nowhere near as stable as reddit as it stands.
But the author was pointing out how reddit is better since it sorts topics by subreddits, implying that lemmy doesn't do that (which is absolutely false).
As far as discovery and amount of content, I fully agree. Reddit just has much more users than lemmy. There's no argument. Discoverability is also another aspect I'd love to be improved on in lemmy. If you're in a small/new instance, you probably won't see a ton of communities compared to a bigger one.
I'm pretty optimistic, though. I think we're just getting started.
Yeah of course, we need to remember Lemmy is not even out of beta yet. But people don't really care, they try it once and if the user experience isn't at the level of competitors they simply won't use it unless there's a philosophical rationale (for example decentralization, but many don't care at all). That's why I'm so happy many developers with great UX experience like Sync are approaching the platform
