Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

    They changed the compulsory filter to be optional and configurable by community admins. They haven’t implemented compulsory features after that either, so I see it as a mistake they made when they didn’t fully understand the principles of federation and still treated Lemmy as a centralized communist forum. We shouldn’t hold those mistakes over them if they learned from it and changed.
