Lemmy needs better integration/federation. Too much content is hidden. A community on the biggest instance was not visible to me on another large instance.
I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.
And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

I do encourage people on reddit to come here, but as another reddit mod recently said on lemmy, they're waiting for improvements on lemmy (like /r/toolbox, RES) before being able/willing to move over.
RES is here, at least for keyboard navigation
https://github.com/vmavromatis/Lemmy-keyboard-navigation
Keyboard nav is not a RES feature I've ever used. Tagging is a main one. As is subscribing to threads to be notified of new comments.
Hopefully those will come. Thread subscription would be nice indeed.
In the meantime, Lemmy is still usable, and I guess once Reddit will kill old.reddit, RES will stop working anyway.
