Having 80% of the posts on the home page from 196 is definitely problematic. 196 users really should touch grass and post less

I enjoy marsey being erased by reddit admins, video making it to the all time top of r/place, and making people aware of rdrama.net

If lemmy gets big enough, it will be just like that. Your problem is not a Reddit problem but an Internet forum with nested threads problem. It’s much harder to hyperfocus on a comment in a flat comment structure.

Stop asking this. Reddit has this kind of problem as well but people ultimately sort it out.

Just go to all to see posts from all instances, there you can find new communities easily

That’s the point of a fediverse. When lemmy.ml admins go crazy and adopt ridiculous policies, you can simply switch to another instance. If all the subs go into an instance, than it’s just the same as reddit, which is a single point of failure.
