Word! I’ve been bouncing between wefwef & Memmy, and just started trying Mlem today.

And yeah! I realize in retrospect that’s what I loved about Reddit and had to pare things way back to smaller subreddits in order to keep it feeling that way.

I think this platform has a lot of potential.

I appreciate you saying that!

I’ve been bouncing between a few different iOS apps (all very similar to Apollo) and browsing the All feeds.

Plus an occasional search to try to find replacements for my favorite communities. Not 100% yet but I m digging the fresh start.

Also commenting way more again!

Seventeen years is wild!

Tell me about it! It was hard nuking 17 years worth of content–effectively my online identity–but it was the right thing to do.

FWIW, from a Reddit old timer, Lemmy feels a LOT closer to those early days than whatever is calling itself Reddit these days.

I personally resigned from a subreddit I founded and moderated for 11 years. Had nearly 300k subscribers but enough is enough.

Reddit isn’t like it was when I started using it 17 years ago and it’s not going back.

Fuck Spez.

Tell ‘em about Bessie’s tits, your magnificence!

God, I missed this.

Sure. Just ask Bobby B!

Hell, freefolk got best when the show really started shitting the bed.

Went from funny to straight up brutally hilarious.
