indeed, you make a good point. most of these people didn’t experience reddit when reddit when reddit had “no userbase” compared to other social media.
but reddit was unique, and that is what drew people there. sadly, lemmy does not have that much “uniqueness” to show (being a reddit clone), besides being federated and fully open source.
To me, it kind of does! Lemmy (with copious blocking) comes as close as I’ve ever felt to what Reddit felt like in 2010.
“All” still requires a lot of filtering, but I see interesting stuff every day.
And I came back to read the other person’s comment, and you had replied! The person I replied to, I remembered the username. And it’s a really thoughtful reply! This happens a lot on smaller communities on Reddit as well, but the whole thing used to feel like that.
I see that on the fediverse pretty much every day! It’s always all about the (preferably kind) communities you build around specific things.
