It's time to take advantage of Reddit's decline

I've been a reddit user for at least 15 years. I've been a Lemmy user for a few months. Lemmy has a long way to go before it's a "viable Reddit alternative". Right now it's barely usable.
You find it unusable? How so?
Any topics outside of memes, IT and politics are nearly non-existent.
This place is heavily skewed towards a specific niche of mostly males that are chronically online
Well, then create some topics and communities
Yeah, because I love talking to myself
Isn‘t the approach from OP tackling exactly that problem? Or do you think it will be too much for switchers to set up a community here?
They could tackle that problem exactly by creating an instance that reposts whatever gets posted to reddit subs. Asking reddit mods to help is just pathetic and won't work.
Yeah because trump is going to solve those problems, man GTFO the republican and conservatives are a complete joke, as flawed as the democrats are and as amazing as presidents lincoln roosevelt and eisenhower were, the republicans of today are literally just a joke clown army for putin.
Sure, so because I don't see trump as a savior im mentally unhealthy. Great logic you got going there.
For me, it needs features from RES, Toolbox, highlight new comments, etc.
Unless I'm mistaken, highlighting new comments was a reddit gold feature, not RES.
Yep, that's why I listed it separately. I used a script for highlighting comments on reddit: https://archive.fo/kgsfz
Perhaps it would be simple enough to modify it to work on lemmy.
EDIT: Saidit has it built-in.
You cannot block an instance, there are no multireddits, Sync is still in beta, the main instance is down half of the time, searching for contents is difficult, the discovery of new content is drowned among duplicates of existing communities.
I'm a heavy Lemmy poster, but all of these points should be addressed for Lemmy to become mainstream
