The groups that interested me on Reddit all had their problems. Consistent jerks, rules, etc. Then the 'new' Reddit happened, which looked like it's only purpose was to better serve ads. Deleting my accounts there felt really easy.

Lemmy, I joined because I was more interested in seeing how this kind of site would work with federation. I check on the site a few times a week, occasionally say something or up/down vote a few posts.
