Thanks to reddit becoming such a shitshow, it pushed so many people to lemmy. I know all this has existed for a while now, but with all the users now its really wonderful. Also many people likely wouldn’t have known to come here if they weren’t leaving reddit first.
Now, I was never that active in reddit and it probably had started to go bad even before I joined first time so I likely dont have enough context to properly compare, but so far lemmy has been so much better than I have seen reddit be even before it really started to go downhill.
I think lemmy will also be better than reddit could ever have been.
My friend still scrolls Reddit. I scroll here. We share the highlights from both. It’s a win win with surprisingly little overlap.
I scroll both and I share both to a friend, but it is so annoying that Reddit locks down too much content behind the login page.
