I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?
Yeah, that’s something I really like about Lemmy. You can have actual conversations. On Reddit, on even an unpopular thread, any comment would be flooded by replies from other people. You couldn’t just talk with one person.
I don’t mind other people joining in, but reddit makes it impossible to do 1-on-1.
Lemmy really does give the feel of “early reddit” where it was small enough for real communities, where you would recognize regulars and see them in multiple subs.
Agreed. Oftentimes I describe Lemmy as “reddit back in the day” whenever someone asks me wtf is Lemmy.
