This community is still tiny compared to r/formula1, but it's growing at a good pace. We're getting lots of posts here.

Lemmy itself is a bit rough around the edges, but development has been accelerated by the influx of new users.

Sync for Lemmy is in development so a nice 3rd party app is on the way!

It seems pretty nice so far

Hey, I just saw the post on Reddit from the mod who quit, is that you?

Welcome! I'll miss the r/formula1 community, but this could become a new nice home.

Less bots, more level-headed people atm

Nobody's reposting teams' Instagram stories or saying happy birthday to dead drivers yet, so pretty good!

quite good, it's a bit small and buggy, but it grows and gets better - it has a huge potential

Platform is basically fine from a users POV, I see some people complaining about the lack of mod tools. One annoying thing is because different instances, there are at least 2 F1 communities. I've seen the diehards say it's by design etc etc but that doesn't stop it being annoying as a user.

Also it's much quieter, which is a blessing and a curse. More than zero people means it's at least active enough to be worth checking, but the size of /r/formula1 plus the voting system meant the top comments were usually pretty good, its more of a mixed bag here.

Hey Jeppe!!! Welcome, nice to have you here from r/formula1. In the same boat, I’m hoping this takes off, and I will try to post some content here to do my part.

What are you testing? Any mod tooling/bots/automation yet?

shaky

Given that there were only 2-3 ppl sporadically posting before the reddit thing it’s picking up.
