All things Reddit

Like it or not, Reddit is still a big player in the internet game. Let's bring together the best of both worlds, shall we?

Compared to established, age-old platform? Yes, we're less developed. But do you know what's even worse? Corporate greed! Rest assured, we'll improve and mature over time.

This article reads like a true reddit dick rider. If you were on reddit pre 2015 you would know lemmy feels like old reddit. I actually kind of love it

Pre 2015 Reddit had quite a bit more activity even back then. But I like the small community feel rn. It’s just that most communities are lacking and content discovery is hard in this federated universe

Part of me is wondering if the whole reddit-style format will die with Reddit the way blogs kind of aren't a thing anymore.

Stephen Colbert flashed the reddit alien on the Colbert report in 2009 I think. Reddit was very usable with a lot of traffic even back then. Lemmy isn't going to get a shout out on a major mainstream show anytime soon is my guess. It's not a fair comparison, it'll take a long time for Lemmy to get to 2015 Reddit levels as far as polish and traffic goes.

I'm fine with that. I would take a 2011 reddit polish and traffic.
