I don’t know if you’ve noticed this, but threads or comments about Lemmy or the Fediverse get downvoted a lot on Reddit and trolls who claim that it’s “dogshit” and “not going anywhere” get systematically upvoted....
Ya know what? I’m really enjoying Lemmy. The Fediverse is (at present) smaller than Reddit but feels welcoming and at the same time much more “exclusive” (?).

Its main draw was its users. For several years it was the social media platform for LGBTQ and fandoms, along with many niche interests....
I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.
Happy July 1st! Starting today, free third-party Reddit apps will no longer be usable, but as much as we don’t want to admit it, some of us still miss the content on Reddit, and it can be hard to resist the “just browse Old Reddit with an adblocker” loophole. Before we get into yet another “crossposting bots on the...
Reddit had cemented their resolve to pull a Digg. I really hope the migration goes as swiftly as it did all those years ago. Let the platform die and destroy the IPO. Fuck Spez....
