For me Lemmy was my gateway to the rest of the Fediverse. I can say I like Lemmy way more than I ever did Reddit. The people are nicer the engagement feels more real and over all it’s a better vibe. Here’s to 2 more everyone!
Happy lemon cake day!
Congrats! This is definitely a better place than reddit.
4 years over here for me, when lemmy.ml was pretty much the only option.
4 years wow, so you must really remember the more quiet times. Even just in the last 1 to 2 years it’s got so much busier.
Yes, it was pretty quiet, but I feel the quality was always pretty good, even from the beginning.
2 years is coming up for me shortly. I realized not too long ago that I’ve always been interested in Reddit alt. I signed up to… volt? I forgot the name, but the users were awful so I didn’t stick around. I’m glad lemmy worked out.
Yeah voat was pretty much nazi central
Wow, thanks for the memories. I waded through the Nazis to get my shitposts on Voat, now I wade through the tankies to get my shitposts here. Reality is a wild and magical thing, isn’t it?
Do you recall the year?
The wiki article says it was up from 2014 to the end of 2020
Yes! Voat… anyway. Grateful for lemmy.
i already got banned once, so its really THE reddit expirience. xD
PieFed becoming a lot more akin to an evolved Reddit than Lemmy lately with the recent updates
Is that a positive or native opinion of PieFed? I’m genuinely curious since I’ve never really scrolled through PieFed
What makes it better and what were these recent updates? Genuinely curious. I hope there is more than one dev, lest it go the way of mbin or kbin, forgot which one was abandoned.
I was kind of surprised to find so many that were banned and denied even their appeals. I chose not to appeal because it was obviously they were power addled assholes.
i wasnt radical enough in a comment for .ml and discussed a bit, so it was fully deserved! you cant have different political views than the mods!
Nearly the same for me, but it was closer to the end of June that I moved.
I’ve not contributed to Reddit since, and only really occasionally browse it from my computer when I’m looking for something in particular now.
Kinda helped by the fact the Reddit I used to enjoy seems to be more or less dead anyway. Weird bot filled comment sections, ads shoved in your face, weird monetising features no one asked for, increasingly weird moderation.
2 years for me as well!
Happy cake day Dave
Almost two years for me too. Wow, time flies.
Wow. Same here. Haven’t logged on since then either. Although I do browse r/printsf in my laptop still… Fediverse is the shit
Geez that was a quick two years
Me too. Happy 2 years everyone!
Happy 2 years!
Happy 2-year! Damn, I’ll coming up on my 2y in a few weeks. Time flies, and I don’t even remember much about xhitter and reddit anymore.
hey me too! All the best!
Has it really been that long…? I can’t even tell since I can’t log into my OG account anymore to see my join date (yiffit shut down 😭).
Same here. It’s been a blast.
