I came here as a Reddit alternative and like it much better. It reminds me of why I used to enjoy being on the internet before everything was owned by corporations trying to make money. A lot of people are comparing it to old forums, but it is also much more connected and easier to navigate than the forums of past internet days.
You've put into words exactly what I've been thinking, Lemmy feels much more like the internet from years back and that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
