Yeah same but more recently.

Even if the interface may feel similar to you.

I would say it's more than just the interface that makes Lemmy similar to Reddit. To end users, they are virtually identical services in terms of functionality. Link aggregators with built-in community forums. I think it's fair to call Lemmy a federated Reddit clone. Not to suggest Reddit invented any of the aforementioned features, just that Lemmy's implementation of said features is in many ways identical to Reddit's approach because it was meant to be a Reddit alternative for the fediverse.

Even the official Lemmy git repository compares the project to Reddit:

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them.

That exact flamewar will never not be funny!! 🤣 So sayeth we all. 🖥️💻

Bc the answer will always be Mac if money were of zero consideration, Linux if someone lives in the real world, and only use Windows if there is both a gun to your head at that moment and a very specific game that you wanted to play requires it, and even then try emulation first.

It is actually! It is one of the features that I love the most about it, it saves so many clicks, plus the interruption of the wait time, especially for those posts that appear in like 9 communities (which for some reason isn't nearly as rare as I might have expected, even though in those cases most communities will have like 0-1 comments, even if some others have >100).

That and maybe the the translation of all post links into relative ones on your local instance are perhaps my favorites of the recent additions. And the ability to read deleted posts instead of a page that looks more like a server error that doesn't even acknowledge that the post used to exist at some point in time. There's a lot to have to choose from!:-)
