    Agreed. Feels like reddit but 15 years ago, before the dark times, before the Empire - Loving it so far, and reminds me of how the internet used to be this huge frontier before Corporations, Shareholders, and Advertisers moved in and ruined everything.

    These Communities are smaller and some of the more niche groups aren’t here yet but that will change with time. Give it a year or two, and I’m sure those obscure, hilarious groups like Greendawn will migrate over, over.

      It’s funny how relaxing Lemmy feels. It’s like I’ve been the frog in the slowly heating pot over the years and had no idea how harsh Reddit had become. Right now Lemmy feels like I thought Reddit has always been. But the idea of Reddit now feels so ugly. It’s the same feeling as getting away from bumper to bumper traffic and finally being able to set the cruise control and enjoy the ride.

      That’s my hope for the Fediverse. We’ll get that frontier feel back while also having the giant easy-access network we’ve come to appreciate in the 10’s and 20’s (over).
