We’re really building something here!

    I’m excited to see where this goes. The vibe is very different from Reddit in a good way. Hopefully one day we won’t be looking back and reminiscing about “when Lemmy was good before it got ruined”

      At least the federated nature of Lemmy makes it immune to corporate enshitification.

      I don’t think Lemmy could be wrecked as easily as Reddit, (fuck u/spez) as Reddit is under the control of a singular entity that exists to make money, while the fediverse is made up of many different instances hosted by many different people, most, if not all who host their instances using their own money without a desire to financially profit from Lemmy. Plus, even if one instance goes to crap, users can simply migrate to another instance.
