Thanks to reddit becoming such a shitshow, it pushed so many people to lemmy. I know all this has existed for a while now, but with all the users now its really wonderful. Also many people likely wouldn't have known to come here if they weren't leaving reddit first.

Now, I was never that active in reddit and it probably had started to go bad even before I joined first time so I likely dont have enough context to properly compare, but so far lemmy has been so much better than I have seen reddit be even before it really started to go downhill.

I think lemmy will also be better than reddit could ever have been.

I was made aware of Lemmy through links on reddit, with the whole API horror show.

Also most happy about it, and although I'm still not that active, I'm participating a bit more now. It definitively feels better to contribute to a group effort like Lemmy than to a large corporation that makes me the product.
