Kind of crazy how time flies. I joined with the api exodus. Since then lemmy has become my primary social media platform. I engage here daily more than I ever did with anything else.

We did it. We finally have a platform that isnt just a dig suceesor. I feel Lemmy is the biggest achievement in open source federated technology since web 1.0 BBS.

I am happy to help contribute to lemmy growth across 2 years, 1.4k comments, and 100 post.

I rarely use reddit anymore for viewing post and never comment on anything by comparison. I run my own versions of the communities that kept me there. I encourage my communities to be a more positive and engaging space and so far its really payed off. I create art and engage in my hobby for Lemmy posting content.

Been good few years here and I'm glad to have this chance to be interacting with all of you. Its nice that were small enough to recognize psudonyms and socially network. Its amazing how being a little friendly and recongizing people across interactions can lead to good vibes all around.

Cool, I also joined recently and I find Lemmy to be much nicer than reddit. Every community seems just more positive.

But there are many people here that want this to be the next reddit and that worries me a little. Every now and than, when I scroll through the feed, I see a post that reminds me of the bad old times on reddit. Thankfully it doesn't get as much engagement as on reddit, and the responses are a lot more reasonable.

But I have to say: if you want this platform to be reddit, and you succeed, you've just rebuild the platform you were running away from. That should not be the goal
