My journey with Lemmy started in 2022 out of interest in the fediverse and paranoia around how much control social media companies have, and how little choice common people are left with over the Internet.
Lemmy was much smaller back then. I really wanted it go get bigger, and tried to contribute to it. But it was small enough to be unsatisfying, so I would go back and forth between lemmy and Reddit.
After the Reddit fiasco, I shifted more and more towards lemmy and less towards Reddit. I finally abandoned Reddit when third party apps broke. I only go there for specific questions in communities that aren’t active on lemmy.
What about you?
Found this during the Reddit diaspora. Tried it for weeks. Left. Came back once a month. Still not committed to this place but i still check in and post.
Too much FOSS/Linux evangelism here. Still too little activity in communities centered on my interests. The vibes are… not great here but I’m not giving up on it. I just don’t think “my” people are here yet
What communities do you wish existed here or were more active?
