Lemmy is growing very, very quickly but I still feel like there’s more interaction between actual humans here and not some stupid karma farming bots. I came over here before the Reddit civil war started and there’s been more and more content every day without it feeling contrived. I’m quite fond of Lemmy at this point.
Content felt like it exploded just over the past couple of days. The coverage of world news events has been excellent. Memes have homes. It has been nice.
The breath of fresh air has generally been maturity in a lot of posts. Reddit felt like junior high deduction skills most of the time. I don't expect it to last, but it makes me engage more.
It really has. The first week or so was a bit discouraging but Lemmy has exploded recently. I’m extremely pleased that I can get my world news and my poop jokes in one place again. I scrubbed my Reddit comments and deleted my account much like Cortés burned his ships.
