Lemmy reminds me of Reddit when I first joined more than a decade ago. I just hope it doesn't go to shit like Reddit has the last few years.

My oldest Reddit account was just one year shy of being able to vote (just rolled over to 17) and it stung a little to hit that delete button yesterday. Lemmy very much reminds me of the days when I joined. However, users here frequently point out not having any niche subs on Lemmy - that was exactly what we had to contend with on Reddit. Except making a sub became competitive and you had a lot of speculative sub creation etc. It was exciting because it was new, but that isn’t the case now. The attitude I see missing on Lemmy then is this desire to create communities, and instead lament they don’t exist. Be the change you want to see everyone.

I hope it won't but I won't be surprised if it does. The internet itself is decentralized, and that wasn't enough.
