Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever

It’s like a better version of Reddit in 2025, but what I really want is Ye Olde Reddit of 2010. I keep seeing comments about how Reddit turned to shit with the API changes, but IMO it’s been garbage for more than a decade. I haven’t been on Lemmy for long but so far I’ve mostly seen the same posts as on Reddit with mostly the same types of comment, just at smaller scale.

When I joined Reddit around the same time, people who had been on Reddit since it actually started were also complaining it was shit. 🤣

  Yeah it’s the classic problem… quality goes down as population goes up. Never mind whatever dumb shit the company does.

it definitely changed around’16, subreddits were getting banned because gop complained it was illegal, and all because 45, everyone/mods filters became toO SENSITIVE, so now your comments can be misconstrued as a disruption, when its really not.
