If you're like me you don't give a single shit about the whole Reddit - Lemmy discourse and you only care about freedom of speech and discussing online piracy, which is more than just free videogames.
Grow up, don't pick fights and seed.

You are actually right.
This is what is going to inevitably happen with most technical subreddits. All the power users who contributed the most are either gone or leaving.
Reddit will be no better than Quora in a few years.
Noticed there's a lot of geeky people on lemmy, and so many seem to be using stuff like linux in threads asking what OS do you use. Which is definitely a big outlier from the average user. So seems like even if the numbers aren't high that there's a lot of people who can provide tech support to dumb people like me.
Because its people who are geeky who tend to be more willing to try something new and not use the default. Wouldnt be suprised if the average 3rd party app user was on average, more technicly inclined than the average official app user. Its automatically true for the mods given having access to more tools via 3rd party.
I'm pretty "stupid" as well when it comes to online literacy, it's definitely challenging me to use Lemmy (I'm on Jerboa right now, gonna try some other apps like Wefwef and Sync when it comes out to see how I like them) but I really like the community and the potential here. I'm gonna have to learn how to do a lot of new things here, like figure out the extent of where my log in works, how to organize the instances I want to go to and be a part of, and how to search through this content. But I'd rather get on the ball now so I can fully integrate and leave Reddit behind. It already felt like a cesspool before Spez did his thing, and it's getting worse by the minute now that the 3rd party apps are down
I tried Jerboa first and now I'm on connect. I like them both but I think I'll stick with connect. It might be worth a look.
I tried Jerboa then Connect as well, Connect is definitely the superior of the two, I'm hoping for Connect to become more like RiF, or something else that will, but connect is good enough for now.
Yep I get it. Everything is early and has room for improvement. I am impressed with how well made these apps are with how new they are. Way back with the start of 3rd party reddit, it was sometimes pretty rough compared to where it got. That said, the completely unfriendly and abhorrent interactions those apps had to deal with since reddit has some shaky coding might explain the struggles. I know nothing about Lemmy on that front, but there's clearly devs who care and have used prior knowledge to skip some pains.
Just like early reddit
