    Maybe if you’re only referring to the relative popularity of Lemmy compared to Reddit you’re right. That’s not what I was referring to.

    Look at the quality of content showing up on Lemmy before compared to now and you will agree it is night and day different.

    It’s still a far cry from what Reddit is, but it’s at least a functional service.

      I haven’t seen much of a content quality change at all since I’ve been here, so no, I wouldn’t agree.

        Well, when I joined the content was shit, so I’m not sure what you were looking at.

          Shit then, shit now.

          Comments have gotten worse.
