Mmm no Reddit back ~10 years ago had a lot more of a community vibe with a wide variation on the front page. Most subs were bearable and porn was pretty rare to reach the front page. We even had mini celebs like unidan, with comments sections being very unique and informative. AMAs were fucking awesome back in the day and not so much filled with fake corporate accounts asking screened questions. Reddit wasn’t really a place for astroturfing because it was small and generally pretty nerdy. Also a lot less bots, everyone and their mother is trying to make a bot. Obviously there were some bad spots like the Boston bomber. Overall Reddit was different, but I think lemmy is really how you choose to curate it and generally my subscribed is quite close to my interests so maybe curate your feed some more and extend your subscribed communities!
That’s what I’m trying but it’s far more different to federation. Lots of threads are bare. I think lots of things have a sweet spot. You little and it’s a Barron no man’s land and too much and it becomes a corporate haunt. Something in-between. Feels intimate but you are at the cutting edge. The front page of internet.
That was reddit for me. I knew things before the news stories.
I had read it.
But now I’ve missed so much moving to lemmy. I don’t know things I’m behind the curve. I’m old outdated and I don’t like it
