When they closed down the API for third party apps I packed my things, I thought reddit would be different, but to me, at that moment they proved they were not different.
Lemmy is not perfect and the whole dev team has some pretty insane views. But you know, it's FOSS, so it's not about the devs as much. Perfect is the enemy of great, and Lemmy is a healthier choice then Reddit imo.
Yup, the death of 3rd Party Aps did it for me too. It made me sad because I had to leave behind a lot of the niche subreddits I enjoyed, but I could see the writing on the wall.
