i hope they allow porn again
- It's far too late for that. Userbase moved on. Tumblr is dead forever
  
  If tumblr is dead lemmy is fucking extinct we've got way less active users
- They allow nudity, but still quite restrictive
  
  Is "female-presenting nipples" still a thing? Because someone seriously writing that in their terms and conditions is the most hilarious and baffling thing ever.
There was also DIGG. There were several large aggregators, but they all made changes that lead to mass exoduses to reddit. Back in the day there were sites like SomethingAwful, EBaumsWorld that served up memes and entertainment before we had purpose-built aggregation tools. Eventually reddit will make way for something else (and already has to some degree with its shedding of users to Lemmy).
- Lemmy is a drop in the bucket compared to Reddit by any metric you want to use. It's not even close.
  
  But yeah, eventually Reddit will be replaced. Facebook is going through that transition now, and we'll see how well they can retain users with Threads and Instagram.
  
  I never made a claim that Lemmy was even remotely comparable to reddit in size. Just stating that reddit users fled to here, when reddit made staggering changes affecting many.
Whatdya mean used to be. I remember the 4Chan wars.
If one of these archive sites would not have the captcha loop that would be amazing.
Used to be slashdot. Some people say it still is.
