Lemmy has grown exponentially in the past month, it’s frankly amazing how well it’s able to sustain the massive influx of new users, but yeah, some features like this one are dearly missed

IMO thats the beauty of a federated network

I think you are mixing two things up. Some 4k remasters have incredibly distracting film grain. Blade Runner comes to mind. It’s a matter of personal taste and how accurate you want the film to reflect the film source.

The more compressed the file is, the les accurate it is, and film grain is the first thing to get crushed by compression algorithms

It’s incredibly fast as well. Beautiful UI

You can check your favorite subs daily and not be overwhelmed by content. It’s a nice thing

Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities

well thats quite infuriating I would say

Even if the Fediverse catches on and that Reddit goes down the way of Digg, Reddit will still remain a goldmine of information for years.

Oh dear god, not Shorts… Everyone’s trying to copy the TikTok model with Shorts…

I think it will more of less follow that path naturally in the years to come, if it ever catches on. You can already see this happening with some instances (ie lemmy.ca mostly devoted to canadian topics, etc)

You have to remember that the amount of lemmy servers exploded in the past week or so. We’re pretty much figuring this out collectively

Ads.

No. But you can search them in the communities tab (local or global) and surbscribe to them. And if it doesn’t exist, create it :)
