Mostly to do with how posts are composed which was always cramped and weird in the past.

And no more mixing up normal posts with DMs.

They are big so they don't care. If it was Threads that had some federation problems it would be a high priority task for the developer team to fix it. But Lemmy is too small for them to care about us.

They should care. They aren't really growing. And hashtags don't work well with federation, groups/communities are much better for that.

To be fair, we aren't either.

Agreed but they already have groups and Lemmy communities kind of work so they will just ignore the issues and focus on improving ✨Mastodon experience✨
