I was still popping last week, but its all but slowed to a trickle at this point. Reddit fucking sucks today, and I say that as a 12 year user who thought it sucked 3 years ago.
Yes. 16 year Reddit user here. The last pieces of the puzzle with themes and moving to lemm.ee are falling into place for me. Lemmy’s front page is now more interesting than Reddit. Very much reminds me of the Reddit I joined. Way more intelligent and topical.
There’s nowhere near the amount of activity on Lemmy as there is (er, was?) on Reddit.
But of course Lemmy is still in its infancy (comparative to Reddit, which has a collaborative seventeen year history behind all the threads/subs).
It’s a very good sign to see that perhaps we collectively just need to be patient, give it some time, and Lemmy could thrive.
Activity by itself does not make a good community. Reddit has thousands of times more activity than it really needs. You don’t need a comment thread with 100,000+ comments in it. A few good users will trump millions of users any day. While I’m not suggesting that Lemmy has quite enough users yet, my fondest memories of Reddit were right at the beginning 16 years ago. I think the golden number of users is not far off for us… A few more and some bug fixes and I think we will be seeing the golden years here. At the rate we are going, that might only be a few weeks or months away.
They should migrate to lemmy.
Just did.
What a fucking circus that reddit has become in just the last couple of weeks.

I’m still hoping for more discussion on the news communities, but it’ll get there.
Just registered on lemmy, i hope it will gain more people so it will be another cool open source project that has actual interest in the masses

Misread and thought you were saying you were 12 at first. You’re very mature for your age!
