actually i'm kind of thankful to reddit now
Thanks to reddit becoming such a shitshow, it pushed so many people to lemmy. I know all this has existed for a while now, but with all the users now its really wonderful. Also many people likely wouldn't have known to come here if they weren't leaving reddit first.
Now, I was never that active in reddit and it probably had started to go bad even before I joined first time so I likely dont have enough context to properly compare, but so far lemmy has been so much better than I have seen reddit be even before it really started to go downhill.
I think lemmy will also be better than reddit could ever have been.
Not with instances like yours imo. (Probably can’t see this as they have my tiny instance blocked)
That's sad, your instance is cool!
My friend still scrolls Reddit. I scroll here. We share the highlights from both. It’s a win win with surprisingly little overlap.
I scroll both and I share both to a friend, but it is so annoying that Reddit locks down too much content behind the login page.
I was made aware of Lemmy through links on reddit, with the whole API horror show.
Also most happy about it, and although I'm still not that active, I'm participating a bit more now. It definitively feels better to contribute to a group effort like Lemmy than to a large corporation that makes me the product.
