What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?

It's a reply to your comment about downotes. The point of votes is to rank threads, and the point of ranking threads is to promote cogent comments and avoid irrelevance, misinformation, and malice. I do this in real life and I do it here.
And I'd say this is your convenient retrofitting of an optimistic rational theory onto what is in fact almost always much simpler and more brutish: "I had a negative response to this because it contradicts my beliefs and gave me cognitive dissonance", regardless of its objective merits. You must know this. Anyway, we'll agree to disagree.

You're definitely projecting your own opinion of the matter here. You're not debating anything by simply repeatedly denying their view and restating your opinion.
Now please, if you want to actually discuss it, respond to their points about how many sorting schemes do not factor in votes. Respond to anything except the parts you simply want to deny.
You're clearly getting engagement despite being downvoted, so this very discussion is proving your opinion ignorant and rather dogmatic.
I'm getting downvotes because people don't like being told they're behaving obnoxiously. That's all. I didn't downvote you or anyone else. I respect all of your opinions.

I don’t consider anything I’ve heard so far to be the kind of evidence that would indicate what I said is somehow false.
Obstinance should not be confused with confidance.

No, you're getting downvoted because you're only responding to the parts of posts that you want to completely deny instead of engaging with other details.
Now, either continue to prove my point that you're either bad faith or immature to the point of lacking self awareness, or respond to the other points made like how several ways to sort don't even factor in votes like the default "active" or new comments, etc, or how some people actively seek out the controversial posts.

The negatives of a social site combined with the negatives of an unpopular social site.

Yes yes, I take the point about the sorting-algo choices and karma absence and so on. I acknowledged it in another comment.
My fundamental point (which you are ignoring) concerns the motivations and incentives for downvoting. My contention is that downvoting thoughtful and well-expressed opinions is always (always) toxic and unhealthy. Others don't see it that way. So be it.

I think the parent comment is talking about piefed the software, compared to Lemmy the software, not the specific
piefed.socialinstance they're posting from.That would explain. But that comment is in answer to the top-level comment about the lemmy.ml instance.

I have trouble finding um what are they called here... Communities?... for the subjects I'm interested in. When I search, all I find is old posts or unrelated posts.
That's my biggest problem

The developers of the Lemmy software are the admins of the lemmy.ml instance and are problematic. The complaint is that the software itself can't be separated from the priorities of the .ml instance.
Piefed doesn't have the same issue, even if the flagship instance federates with .ml

You can switch to "Top of 6h", "Top of 12h", or "New comments"
Where is this option? I looked everywhere and can't seem to find it.

I don't change my views because people bully me for them. I change my views when someone demonstrates to me that they're worth changing and that haven't happened in this thread. What ever convincing arguments you may have seen clearly have not been convincing to me.

Oh, brilliant. Thanks.

I may not understand how all this works but the very first page is mostly stuff that is 24 hours old or older. Maybe I am sorting it wrong or something but looking for the latest news is not easy. There should be a way from things that are older than 24 hours to fall off the front page. Also something like reddit enhancement suite would be nice.
I like the scaled sort option when I notice that.

I had to give my friend this news some years ago, to no avail. Sooo many upvoted "answers" on Reddit are just confidantly incorrect BS. It's also trivial to find reddit answers from general search results instead of limiting your search to just Reddit.
wrote last edited by [email protected]There was a small window where Reddit could be used to find good answers to things, but that ship sailed long ago.
As soon as the site started to become popular in the mid 2010's, every "expert" was someone who maybe once took a related class in college, or think sharing their girlfriend's uncle's neighbor's relevant story means they have the definitive answer.
"Hello Reddit, does anyone else catch themselves acting differently between family and friends?"
"As someone who once took a psychology class in college, your symptoms are 100% aligned with dissociative identity disorder, and you should seek help immediately."
