So much stuff about so many topics in many different communities. Then it all went sour, and I’m now here.

Hi @Tamato, this is a good discussion topic, but we’re trying to keep discussion of Reddit to the megathread. Feel free to post this as a top-level comment there.

For me it was the community. No latter the niche, there was always a subreddit for it. Hat kind of thing takes a certain critical mass to achieve. We had it with Digg before Reddit. There will be something else after Reddit. But it’s a hard place to reach and, as time has shown, even harder to maintain.

Lemmy already has the core features of communities, threads, etc. An easier onboarding is key to growing right now. Many people get confused, tho perhaps that will shift with time. Mastodon-esque account migration would also be nice. I think I’d like to see solid multi-reddits. Some nice way to have multi-instance communities would help with scalability imo.

The main things that made me like reddit were RES and Apollo (or Alien Blue before reddit bought it). I haven’t used non-RES reddit or the reddit app in so long because I never enjoyed them. Also thanks for reminding me to cancel my reddit Premium 🙃

The Drama🍿 I mean, err, the beautiful communities about everything imaginable!
