I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I really don't think this is a major problem for Lemmy. Users won't find the proper community and leave Lemmy, or what's the idea here?

I don't think there is even activity enough to worry about those things yet.

I don’t think there is even activity enough to worry about those things yet.

This problem is part of why there's not enough activity. Any activity that happens in the threadiverse is spread across multiple, duplicate communities. That makes it harder for communities to build up active userbases and makes users themselves less likely to post or comment.

In theory yes, but everyone posts to Lemmy.world or Lemmy.ml, so I haven't seen this becoming a practical problem myself.
