As someone who used reddit for 14+ years, this place feels exactly like early Reddit, a place where you actually can converse with anyone and contribute instead of yelling into the void. Realistically we will always have both, but many more will join the verse everytime Reddit has an oopsie.
The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.
It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.
Good alternative search engine, have to use a bit of traditional search engineering sometimes, but to me that’s a good thing, feature not a bug.
It can’t find everything, think of it as an extra tool in the toolbox. Having selection between search engines is a good thing. Don’t want just one monolithic source of information.
The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.

Narwhal, bacon, midnight, dick butt, le, doggo.
The real question, when we enter ^ this era of Lemmy, how many years of prison is appropriate for the above genre of jokes?
Lmao beans fit that list, we can cringe about it all we want now but at the time we’re building community.
Don’t forget jeans. We’re almost there.
