I literally just signed up for lemmy after reading this post on reddit. I’m ready for reddit to crash. Decentralized apps seem like the way to go. It seems super short-sighted on Reddit’s part to be basically extorting all these 3rd party apps that are super popular.

Welcome! It's a bit rough around the edges here but the devs are making changes every day and the community is better than I thought.

Honestly the rough parts remind me of the good old days of the internet. I'm no gatekeeper but I'm happy when sites are smaller, focused, and slow to grow.

Exactly! For the first 5 seconds, I was pissed that I couldn't send a reply with Ctrl+Enter, but it just reminded me of the good old days of being part of and building a community from scratch and I love it!
