Observation: Lemmy doesn't seem to provide any functionality that Reddit doesn't have, besides the ability to specify the language of the post (most of which will be English).
Observation: Lemmy appears to have poor support for posts that are images or have multiple images. In a post with multiple images, every image is a full resolution thumbnail with no link to the full resolution image. Although it's not clear, but you can display a full image from the feed by clicking on its thumbnail.
Observation: Lemmy makes dates on posts appear clickable, but clicking on them doesn't do anything, breaking the post date link convention.
Observation: on the communities list page the column headers appear clickable but clicking on them does nothing.
Does Lemmy Support RSS?
Yes. There is an RSS icon on every community page.
