A microscopic collective few had ever heard of.
That same thing, just slightly less microscopic.
Honestly while I'm obviously still here, anyone pretending this is any sort of apples-to-apples replacement of the overall Reddit community is only engaging in so much wishful thinking.
Not that it's impossible for Lemmy to get there eventually, but it's not even close to it, and honestly I really don't see it happening.
Maybe if you’re only referring to the relative popularity of Lemmy compared to Reddit you’re right. That’s not what I was referring to.
Look at the quality of content showing up on Lemmy before compared to now and you will agree it is night and day different.
It’s still a far cry from what Reddit is, but it’s at least a functional service.
I haven't seen much of a content quality change at all since I've been here, so no, I wouldn't agree.
Well, when I joined the content was shit, so I’m not sure what you were looking at.
Shit then, shit now.
Comments have gotten worse.
Bah humbug
