Lemmy was my first fediverse app. I i joined ages ago, then eventually went back to reddit because usage was so low. Then later I joined mastodon after Twitter imploded. And now I'm back on Lemmy. There are people here now! It's great!
I don't really have a problem with the culture of reddit (at least not the reddits I frequent), so much as all the ads and astroturf. The question for me is whether Lemmy has strong enough modding tools to withstand that level of popularity.
One of the things I like about rust.
