    Lemmy I think is in a good place since it’s still fairly new. It took a while before Reddit had critical mass and I’d say that happened when Reddit started “solving” crimes and then making the news because of it. The “We did it Reddit!”. I think that’s when people really started to show up. On here, there’s not a constant flood, which can be a good thing. When you reply, you’re not buried by thousands of other posts. On Reddit it felt like, if you didn’t get in early, chances are no one really saw what you posted. Honestly, I’ve had better engagement here than I did on Reddit, both in views and quality of replies.

    Only time I end up on Reddit, is when I’m searching something and a post from 2-3 years ago pops up. But I haven’t logged into Reddit or actually engaged with anything new since the exodus. The date of this account was the last day I officially used Reddit.
