I dont even recognize it anymore. I was on reddit for over a decade before the api fiasco. I am there for a few subs that just dont exist here and I cannot stand reddit. The only way I can even stand it for my few subs is with a Revanced Patched app that removes the ads.

Same. Lemmy needs the membership to support niche communities. I wonder if that’s possible without falling into what reddit became: a toxic hog lagoon where the only real rule is “don’t sass the nazis.”
Yep, its just a numbers game. We don’t have enough for all the niche communities but we have a lot of major ones already here which is nice and I like the more tech centric feeling lemmy has too.
Same reason I left. I had been a user since like 2014. The censorship and banning of people who go against the hive mind is just insane. I criticized a mod (unknowingly) on a car sub because he was spouting stuff that was flat out wrong about a certain ECU programming thing. Got banned from the sub and permabanned from reddit less than 10 minutes later. I tried to appeal it and got the generic message back saying I had repeatedly violated reddit’s content policy which was completely false. At no point did I say or do anything against their rules about hate speech and such.
It’s idiotic as they’re destroying their own userbase. At this point it’s a website 75% bots run by bots.
I have no interest in ever using reddit again or making another account.
I was just permabanned for making this comment.
Reddit is in full censorship mode over this. Oh well not the first time, certainly not the last.
