  • I’ve been on Matrix and Mastodon for a number of years, but I’m new to Lemmy. Matrix is already better than competitors like Discord, in my opinion. It has a healthy pool of users including several major tech organizations.

    I’ve never been too active on Mastodon for the same reason I never got into Twitter. I just don’t enjoy “microblogging,” and prefer mediums that are more oriented towards actual conversation. Lemmy does an excellent job in that respect.



  • When “New” Reddit came out, it was just shockingly bad. If they didn’t keep old.reddit.com online, they would have killed the site then. Until very recently I couldn’t even view all child comments within the main thread, and it still takes at least twice as long to load any page.

    Coming to Lemmy has been a breath of fresh air. The site is much more responsive than Reddit despite most instances running on a single VPS or something.
