It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

    It’s good because it’s lessening the “hardship” of leaving reddit. Imagine leaving reddit and there’s literally no alternatives out there that match that format. Imagine if it was just Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Youtube, and whatever else, but nothing that matched that sort of long stream of post headlines that Reddit has done so well. The others kind of do the same thing, BUT me personally I like the condensed format, I don’t want to see a ginormous most that takes up half the page and I have to waste valuable microseconds scrolling past it to get to the next giant post.

    I’m an info addict and I want to see twenty posts on a page, briefly scan through them and keep scrolling down, just droves and droves of headlines that I can react to and completely skip past reading the article and go straight into commenting on it like I’m an expert on this thing I didn’t even know about 5 minutes ago.

      I tried to feed my info need without Reddit; rss feed readers, tech blogs with comments.

      It felt empty as I realised the discourse was tipping the balance on what I was seeking out.

      Multiple Lemmy instances with the iOS Memmy app feels like I’ve benefited from getting off Reddit.
