Lemmy definitely scratched the Reddit itch for me, and I don't see myself going back. Unfortunately however, it is still a huge container of information that I still find myself relying on if I need to search for something.
The information contained in past posts and comments on Reddit is immense. Usually, the easiest way for me to find advice is a Google search that includes “Reddit” in the search field. It almost always returns a comment with exactly the information I was looking for
on duckduckgo I use site:reddit.com and the results will only include links to reddit, I find it better than Reddit's search (duh)
I was there for the great Digg to Reddit migration and now the great Reddit to Lemmy migration.
They can destroy our aggregators but they’ll never be able to destroy our community. 🤌
Lemmy could be the solution we needed all along. No company can take it away - if the community remains the platform does too.
I mean, nothing is forever.
As cheesy as that sounds, it’s especially true in tech.
Someone can/will come along and fuck up Lemmy too eventually, probably.
Gonna take like 15 years though so for now, it is the place to be.

Just a reminder that Lemmy is intended to not be addictive. Go out and enjoy your life. Lemmy will be here when you're pooping or when you have downtime, you don't need to be glued to it
Messaging from the pooper.
I feel so included. :)
But I'm about to travel and will not poop for 3 days at least /s
It seems like with no algorithms, and a set of common sense guidelines that Federated instances have, we can all learn to understand and respect each other better. Breaking free of billionaire, fossil fuel mafia and hostile anti-democracy government controlled manipulation is what freedom is all about. I love it.
Lemmy feels like how reddit felt in 2010
That's a rare thing these days
💯❤️
And it feels fresh
All I've been seeing is beans 😞
Thank you for this post, it’s really inspirational. I think we can create an awesome community here. This is the start of something special.
I'm so surprised at how it's taken off. I thought it was going to be a ghost town. Super exciting.
I’ve found I’m interacting more, rather than just lurking.
Edit: whoops not sure that my image embedding worked, oh well.
I prefer the term lemmtard
