I think my favorite thing about Lemmy is that it feels like Reddit used to. Less negativity, more engaged users (I think). I know it will be fun to watch Reddit die, but if I put spite aside what I’m really mad at Reddit about is more about what Reddit became and maybe part of that is when the general internet user started going to Reddit and it became less like the small community it was years ago. Feel free to disagree or share an argument 😉
r/redditalternatives is looking pretty bleakly upon Lemmy and federation in general. Seeing a lot about the technical limitations of server load for all the instances and stuff, which does concern me, but I’m not knowledgeable enough on the subject to know whether it’s actually viable or not. I’m really hoping it is ‘cause this has been a huge breath of fresh air this past week!
Aaaaand I totally misread the title, you don’t want Reddit to migrate here, you want them to stay there! So maybe my comment makes you more hopeful haha, because they all seem pretty skeptical about the fediverse. I’m totally down for giving it a shot though, the “small world” nature of it really is refreshing.
