The reality of hosting reddit 2.0 is finally starting to sink in.
I can do all of the above, except for police content.
And Reddit of course had unpaid mods to do that.
So like I say, it can be done, you just need the right team of mods/admins for your own server.
Cool, you and your 5 buddies have a great time. Some of us would like to see a viable alternative to reddit who respects privacy, and doesn't crash every other day.
Fediverse is going to be known as a kiddie porn haven with the level of professionalism and maturity they have with the major servers.
I have yet to see a single problem with Lemmy over months of daily use. An instance may have crashed in that time but I didn’t notice not seeing certain instances when scrolling, and I don’t seek out particular communities. Helps that I’m hosted on a less popular instance, and the lemmy.ca admins seem to run a tight ship.
I block a couple of communities a day, but that seems to be expected. I also haven’t seen any kiddie porn.
Less discussion than Reddit, and less specific communities, but that’s been easy to forgive because well, fuck Reddit.
If an alternative pops up at some point, I’ll be sure to give it a try. Lemmy is doing just fine for me.
