One thing that I’ve noticed as someone trying to wean myself off of Reddit: Lemmy just feels more chill. Like no I don’t have to open it every few minutes and doomscroll, it’s going to be a lot slower coming than the firehouse that is Reddit.
Tbf I don’t think that’s a design as much as it is just smaller, but it still feels nice.
I deleted my 10 year old Reddit account and just left it behind. Lemmy is just Lemmy now. I don’t really tgink of it as a replacement. That’s just me.
13 years old account with tens of thousands of comments, I deleted it all
16 years. Deleted all comments but kept the account active.
We're at where Reddit was in roughly 2008 or so. The problems really started when DIGG died, and the toxic user based changed homes.
The reddit exodus has almost equalized things I think, there's still more stuff posted on reddit but it's low quality garbage (noticeably more than before), most interesting news etc. are here as well.
