When I first started using Lemmy it seemed like such a nice place with interesting discussions. It seemed like the first group of people to join after the app exodus were being quite careful to be respectful of the existing culture.

Now, it seems as though the culture from Reddit has completely replaced it. Toxicity and all. I will say I do follow a lot of communities from a wide range of instances so it’s clearly not everywhere.

Am I the only one who’s feeling like we’ve just stormed in and bulldozed Lemmy?

    lemmy.ml on a good day had like 15 to 30 upvotes on the front page. There wasn’t much of a culture before.

    See the traffic in April this year, a little over 4 months ago. Lemmy.world only been around for like 2 and a half months now. That’s the most active it’s been since before the exodus. The exodus definitely helped jumpstart the site.

      Yeah, my answer to “has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture” is “what culture lmao”

      Not that i was on Lemmy before, but i was on Mastodon before Elon bought Twitter and it was a ghost town.
