Lemmy reminds me of why I even liked Reddit in the first place. Honestly, it makes me worry how it'll change if it grows. Because the downfall of Reddit for me wasn't really the API changes, or Spez, or the crappy new features, it was just more people flowing in, all desensitised jokers hungry for attention. For now, I'm liking it, though! And now I know there's other places I can go if a billion-dollar corporation kills the Fediverse :)
I wonder if this particular problem might be fixed just with the way the instances force communities to be broken up, even as user base grows it will in theory happen across many different instances which means the local instances will continue to have a more local community feel
I followed a guide that lead me to lemmy.world, but honestly I don't know how people are choosing which instance to join
