Reddit is starting to suck more and more everyday so here I am. A couple of questions -

  1. I created my account at lemmy.ca, but most people I have seen have lemmy.world accounts. Am I missing out on anything by not having a lemmy.world account?

  2. Reddit has an offical subreddit for Reddit news. Does Lemmy have any offical communities?

  3. On Reddit, you can’t post on some subreddits if you do not have enough karma or if your account is not old enough. Are there any rules like that on Lemmy?

Thank you!

    But why have an extra website? I just don’t see the point. That’s just extra work. And a good amount of people will never find out it’s there and get here in a different way. We could just do away with all of that.

    This way the Lemmy devs have to maintain a seperate website. Curate a list of instances. I have to agree with that. Everyone has to remember to always post links to join-lemmy.org. Users who’re just lurking and deciding to go to the menu and just click “sign up” will miss that information. All of that to save someone from doing a single click?

      Assuming most people use Google, when searching for “lemmy”, it is the third search before some guy named lemmy and when searching for “join lemmy” (logically) it’s the first. So we can conclude that people don’t use it because most of the people link to lemmy.world and not to join-lemmy.org. Most likely not everyone searches for “join lemmy” anyways since most people come from Reddit.
