Comment on How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest

• RagingRobot@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I left digg for reddit and back in those days that’s how Reddit was too. I think the beautiful thing is that there are phases for new online communities in this category. They start small like Lenny is now then grow to be more well known. At some point when the general population starts to flood in it starts to get weird anyways. I think this was overdue. I’m liking Lenny right now the way I used to like reddit in the beginning. I’m still learning what it has to offer.

    FYI: It’s “Lemmy”, not “Lenny”.

    Welcome!

    The big difference is see is that Lemmy requires a fair bit of onboarding to learn about federation, different instances, etc that may make it difficult to gain mainstream appeal. Reddit/Instagram/Facebook/etc are a little easier in that they autopopulate your feed with defaults, whereas on Lemmy the defaults are whatever instance you sign up with.

      I keep hearing this but my dumb ass signed up and created an account just like I would with any other website. The only thing I adjusted to was /c communities instead of /r subreddits.

  Reddit was unknown when Digg imploded.

  It’s too big to fail fast. I have faith that it’ll end. I’m patient.
