I came here in November of last year looking for an alternative to reddit, and in that time, this space has transformed to look more like reddit than I ever expected it to become.

I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't just reddit all over again with a smaller userbase.

I think the larger instances kind of end up being quite similar to Reddit. Same pithy comments, same inability to self-reflect, same weird self-assurance that they are in the majority, regardless of subject.

It takes a lot of curation but I think it’s possible to find the social media you want on Lemmy.
