The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.
As someone who used reddit for 14+ years, this place feels exactly like early Reddit, a place where you actually can converse with anyone and contribute instead of yelling into the void. Realistically we will always have both, but many more will join the verse everytime Reddit has an oopsie.
Narwhal, bacon, midnight, dick butt, le, doggo.
The real question, when we enter ^ this era of Lemmy, how many years of prison is appropriate for the above genre of jokes?
Lmao beans fit that list, we can cringe about it all we want now but at the time we're building community.
Don't forget jeans. We're almost there.
Truth. Still. Prison.
At least public flogging.

But yea I agree it’s a pretty solid community aside from a few overly aggressive contrarians
We even have our own annoying group of brigade-ers.
I’ll see myself out.
The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.
Upvoted because "ddged". Wonderful. 😊
What dat?

Good alternative search engine, have to use a bit of traditional search engineering sometimes, but to me that's a good thing, feature not a bug.
It can't find everything, think of it as an extra tool in the toolbox. Having selection between search engines is a good thing. Don't want just one monolithic source of information.
It helps that Reddit along with other big platforms like FB absorbed all the traffic that in the old days would have been distributed into small separate forums. Not good for the ecosystem.
Internet ecosystem is a great term, it was put well in an article someone shared on slrpnk: https://slrpnk.net/post/8711732
Thanks for the link. That's an interesting community!
We're doing our best!
If you're in a niche community, don't be afraid to put some content out there. Niche communities are generally so happy to see any conversation. The amount of criticism/downvoting I've seen on topics in slow communities has been very low.
I think Lemny needs to be pitched to more independent communities as a way to provide a forum to their members while being connected to the rest of the Internet. For example, game developers should make lemmy instances for their game communities so they can host a forum and not be subjected to the whims of Reddit. Non profits and guilds as well.
