Currently it feels like an opposite Golgafrincham situation. We got rid of the useless third by jumping ship. Let's convince them we got swallowed by an enormous mutant Star-Goat ๐คฉ https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Golgafrincham
More engagement. I think the vast majority of Reddit was lurkers. This feels more like a community.
One nice UI feature is that there's a "view source" button when viewing comments and posts, which lets you see exactly what markup the poster used.
I was concerned of the amount of users not being enough to generate content, but so far I have been proven wrong. And the quality of the content is much better. At least for now.
When I click a post it actually opens a new page for the post instead of some weird window overlaying the feed. Things are simplified and easier to use and understand. I don't feel like I'm constantly trying to work around the platform.
I actually really like that the community is smaller. It feels like an actual community and not a hoard of strangers.
I want lemmy to succeed but reddit is still alright (as long as it allows you to use the old interface in a web browser). Won't delete it in the forseeable future
