What are your thoughts on the Lemmy ecosystem?

I’ve been trying it out for the last week. I have my own opinions, but I’d like to hear others and see if we have common ideas on what is good/bad/indifferent about the Lemmy ecosystem.

    It’s feels to me like how the ancient redditors said reddit worked.

    Some servers come closer to reddit like world which copied all the popular subs.

    Others are definitely smaller communities, maybe a post or two a day and plenty of discussion.

    I feel great about it all so far.

      Definitely feels more like reddit used to feel - though with caveats.

        Indeed. With no central control, it seems easier for a single individual/org to dominate any given discussion, but otherwise it seems close to what reddit originally claimed to be.

        I’ve used them both the exact same way, which kept me away from a lot of the junk on Reddit until they killed my access via Apollo. Then I just switched over and subbed pretty much the same topics.

      Yes, it has the vibes of pre-Digg 2.0-exodus reddit, which is why I haven’t gone back (well, except for porn lol)
