Can we also have a moment of silence for all the other great link sites that have died?

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Maybe I’m dating myself but before Reddit it was just rss feeds for me 😅

Federated is the way that Reddit needed to go, so the transition from Reddit to Lemmy is just what we needed. Now, whoever wants to create a community and moderate it according to their own rules can do so.

Beginning to? No. That happened years ago. It was clear several years ago that they were taking the site in a direction I didn't like. Around the time that "new" reddit was released along with the official app.
Exact same for me, the re-design and the official app were major red flags but since they kept old.reddit and my 3rd party app (RIF) I was still happy even though the community of reddit was obviously degrading... I feel like having an alternative that is viable that is completely free of the commercial trappings such as lemmy here is something that is super appealing to me. I think lemmy is still in a very early phase and I am glad to be here to see what happens.
