    Lack of granular privacy / profile control “The lack of privacy controls … our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone.” (lemmy.toot.pt) Users cannot choose who sees their profile history, comments, or posts. Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity “The platform lacks all the communities … There are no communities for games or music or sports or hobbies or movies or anything.” (Reddit) “Not nearly enough people to cover all the niche interest communities that Reddit does.” (szmer.info) Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities “Multiple communities dedicated to the same thing across multiple instances … causes confusion …” (Popcar's Blog) “There are duplicate communities: every instance seems to have their own version of each community.” (Reddit) Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues “Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.” (NodeBB Community) “Simply using them is confusing … accessing remote subs is a complete train wreck.” (Reddit) Performance / reliability / scaling problems “Slow and unreliable” is listed among cons. (Slant) “Servers go down … syncing/federation issues.” (Android Authority) Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues “Moderation tooling is not adequate for removing illegal content from servers.” (We Distribute) Users report low content quality (memes, shitposts, agenda memes) instead of high-value discussions: > “The politics is always … or it’s toxic American hyper-partisan … The memes aren’t any better.” (Reddit) Search and archive weak/incomplete “Search sucks … Lemmy isn’t.” (szmer.info) Lack of long-tail content archive. Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality Users note: heavy US-centric news, lots of meme posts, little local news/events or regional content. While I didn’t find direct sources for exactly “too much US news / no local events”, the broader complaint of “lack of niche interest/hobby/sports” covers this. (Reddit) It's not really the previously banned users that are the problem. It's that the real heart and soul of Lemmy is c/2real4meirl or whatever - ie, depression memes. Reddit initially became popular because it was fun and interesting. Lemmy has picked up some of the old reddit crowd by being a bit more tech focused - but for the most point the links and comments posted are doom and gloom. Either AI is taking all our jobs, or its a huge scam. The world is run by evil capitalists who personally want you, in particular, to have a meaningless and miserable life. But don't worry, because we, the proletariat, will overthrow them in a violent revolution... just as soon as we stop doom scrolling and crying in bed - haha, amiright guys? Nothing about this is fun or interesting. It is bitter, angering, and depressing. That is what drives people away. https://lemmy.world/comment/20046325 When you quote a block of text only the first paragraph gets quoted.

    Both URL types are available but I don't know what the default one will be or if it's already in effect.

    @julian that might be it, yeah. languages outside of javascript generally don't make a distinction between null and undefined, and even in javascript these are used inconsistently. for example localStorage.getItem will return null for a missing key. practically speaking, the "intentionally" distinction is a distinction without a difference in most processing contexts.

    Wow, finally I figured that out, thank you.
