I bet a large number of the negative comments only checked out Lemmy the weeks of the protests. I think their critiques are very accurate for that time period. But I think Lemmy now is a lot better than a month ago and a viable alternative to Reddit.

As long as the masses don't all flock to just one server, the next time reddit fucks up it'll be a much softer place to land. The only problem is the niche communities and they're survivability when transferring over.

This really does feel like the early days of reddit. Where small, niche communities have to just keep plugging along until they hit a self-sustaining number of active users, and I didn't realize how much I missed that till I came here.

It's so much more personal. It's way better to get 20 upvotes and 15 comments on a community of 150 than it is to get 1k upvotes on a community of 125k

I tried to explain this during the tumultuous time to people but most of the reaction I got was 'it didn't work perfectly the one time I used it so it's not actually worth more than hot shit'.

Good, honestly. I personally could do without the type of person to write something off as bad on a single individual interaction with something that has a legitimate reason to not operate 100% at perfect level. It's childish and I would rather those people stay on reddit and ruin THAT place
