I moved here a month ago knowing that this is just the latest in aggregation/news/forum site upheavals. I learned to not wait back when Digg was crashing out and everyone was moving to this small site called "Reddit" at the time.

I came from other sites to Digg and someday I'll likely migrate away from lemmy, but this is a good home for now and I'm very thankful for the federation hosters to keep us up and running.

I remember delicious > stumbleupon > digg > popurls > reddit and now Lemmy. Of course that is just in terms of the main link aggregation service I used at the time. There's no money in aggregating links, in fact it costs money and that's the same mistake all these services have made. So that's why I'm making the decision to run my own instance.
