After 11 years on reddit, and seeing it completely lose its identity it was founded on, I am stoked to be a part of this and learn as I go about this improved alternative.
I believe this is going to change social media, as the giants collapse on themselves.
For whatever reason, i started on baconreader and never felt compelled to switch. Currently using connect for Android, but im definitely not married to it off boost has something good in the works!
So glad you're here! Agreed that Reddit has lost its way as a platform. I'm very excited to see how Lemmy develops! There were so many tech savvy people on Reddit I don't doubt it comes on leaps and bounds in the coming months.
Thanks! I really hope this takes over, but it will take time and i am okay with that being slow and having a period where it is still small and organic as reddit when i first joined!
