      I only heard about lemmy a few weeks ago I bet there’s more like me. I think it’s just a question of promoting it

          I love it! Reddit has slowly been going to shit for years, so many posters are nasty and there’s so much hysteria. There’s ads and political manipulation everywhere. I miss some of the subs, and would prefer a bit more activity but at the same time posts are far higher quality. Overall I’m really really happy and it’s been smooth and welcoming

            Nice to hear! Yeah activity is still way lower than on Reddit but it’s slowly increasing. :)

      Lemmy is not a forum.

      Forums are structured around activity bumping, not recency and voting. A years old thread can end up back on the front page if someone posts in it. It’s just a different medium.

      And it’s a medium that we need to preserve.

          Ita lot of reddit under different management. It looks and feels like reddit not like a forum.

            There is no central management on Lemmy. Every instance is managed by someone else. Nobody can decide something for all of Lemmy.

                  I mean sure, do not use the two eyes you have and take a look at lemmy ux vs reddit and vs a forum. lemmy is literally the reddit we have at home. The fact its tons of different reddits we have at home connected is the only difference. Not even bait, this is what everyone normal sees.

        In some ways yes in other ways no. The urge to hivemind and purity test everything is definitely the same however the ability to move to another instance and get away from a group of power tripping mods is different.

        Lemmy is essentially a collection of 2000s era forums that have agreed to share user accounts.
