The content, engagement, and quality of conversations are much better here on Lemmy, and the platform feels considerably less saturated.
Unfortunately, what Reddit used to be, and what made it great, is long gone. That being said, the API changes were the nail in the coffin, not the sole reason for its decline. Reddit had already been on a downward trajectory for years before that.
The one thing I still appreciate about Reddit is that content gets refreshed much more frequently than it does on Lemmy. However, even that isn’t enough to keep me there for more than a few visits a week, usually out of sheer boredom.
