I think a big problem I see with several pro-lemmy comments in that thread (but also other threads) is that they completely miss the point of the user and just try to shove down the same message that isn’t actually relevant to OP.
Like when OP complains about the user experience with the example of accessing a not-yet-federated community, clearly a mechanical problem that can’t easily be fixed by a redesign, and the replies advertise alternate Lemmy frontends or apps. Those don’t help with OP’s issue at all.
Or when OP says that they’ll probably just leave social media entirely when Reddit goes bad, and people tell them to use Lemmy apps…
It honestly feels sometimes like I’m reading bot responses. Imo this is just turning people off even more, the ads need to be more context aware.

The first point of that comment is about the interface, hence the suggestions to alternative frontends.
The community was federated, but the user wasn’t using their local version, they thought they had to use the community host instance.
