Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again

ah yes, true dat, I happened to comment sometime ago on some posts like related to luigi mangione as one of the first ones, and got upvoted like 20k times and got awards and such. Good times good times.

Suprisingly better for actual conversation, reddit would be like screaming into a void sometimes, any topic you're interested in if it doesn't already have a community, make one from a popular general purpose instance and start posting, people will reply and see it, and it'll potentially hit the front page equivalent letting more eyes see it. Reddit was no longer showing me interesting niches, I had to already know about it to find a sub and get it on my feed, so many interesting subs I only learned about because I got into the hobby outside of reddit have more potential to be visible on the main feed here. Reddit algorithm right now is a roller coaster, this feels more like reading a newsletter, old reddit.

Think it was changed to include upvotes/downvotes. Could be wrong, saw it on a similar thread.

I only thought it would be an issue my first week of Lemmy, using it for a month now I really like the smaller community.

Well there's still more niche topics that are hard to sustain a community for on Lemmy due to the lack of population. I'd like to see that grow. Hopefully in time.

Yeah i know what you mean. I never thought about it. Thanks. I am fairly new on lemmy. I sure do miss more memes on reddit but damn you are right.

That isn't what happened
-
no I'm just saying that didn't happen and you're not a tankie... you're making tankies look good with this nonsense, it's embarrasing

Yes I think what everyone is trying to say but can't quite put into words is that reddit is an order of magnitude larger than lemmy like a massive big box store is an order of magnitude larger than a corner mart & cafe and yet nobody would stand in the corner mart & cafe and conclude it felt less humane in comparison to the big box store because so many less people passed through its doors.

Reddit still has them. And already rolled back edits where useful
-
Nice. The amount of Lemmy servers online are shrinking?
-
You're welcome.

Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.
Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.
Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.
I'm definitely liking it here though!
