A lot of questions on here are aimed at the reddit users experiences, but I’ve been wondering what the older users thought of his move. Are there any reddit cultures you are hoping do not come with the users? Are you confident or fearful of the growth coming from the reddit community? I’m curious how the reddit influx is changing these communities either for better or for worse.
I made an account when I first heard of Lemmy a few months ago, lost my login details. With the userbase taking such a huge uptick I’ve decided to get back on it.
I think its great, it’ll be better in some ways, worse in other ways, but you just follow the content you wanna see and you’re good. Reddit has been due for a mass migration to another platform for a while now, it seems this is just now the tipping point.
Ultimately I think to have redditors switch to a reddit-like platform that isn’t controlled by investors is a great idea. And if you dont like the way your instance is run, make your own. You can do that. Can’t do that on reddit.
