Did you ever get into a huge fight with a partner, then patched things up, except your feelings had changed as a result of the fight?

That’s how I feel about Reddit. It’s the same place, but the magic is gone for me.

I don’t think Lemmy fills that void entirely, but it does a good enough job. I miss some communities, but I like that the big communities are small enough here that I can reply to any one I choose and get meaningful discussions out of it. It’s tiring to always come too late into interesting topics on Reddit and just throw my comments into the void.

Still plenty of space for Lemmy to grow, but I’m already content with what’s here. I don’t really go back to Reddit unless I want to discuss a niche topic in a sub that hasn’t migrated to the Fediverse.

Just downloaded and holy crap, this thing is smooth as butter. Already more functional than that $115 closed-source alternative. Instant switch for me.

Works for me!
