It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

    I think a lot of us have been chasing the high of what Reddit was a decade ago

    There were some really great years before the quality just took an absolute nose dive

    Here is hoping Lemmy can catch the same magic in a bottle

      There were ups and downs along the way, once I’d figured out the subreddits I was actually interested in and filtering out the stuff I didn’t want to see I have mostly had a decent time on Reddit. Spent one year on Apollo and bacon reader then purchased sync 9 years ago… Most of the complaints of the official app flew right over my head and I was pretty happy about it. I’m still absolutely enjoying this new little bit of the Internet for sure.

      I think it will. There is no reason it doesn’t because there was nothing technological exceptionnal with Reddit.

        I think so, too. The comment sections remind me a lot of Reddit’s when I first joined in early 2013 — more thoughtful comments and less shitposting to get the most upvotes.

        It seems like the biggest hurdle is going to be getting the more niche communities going on Lemmy.
