I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

Lemmy has a bit more active users which is great. However, I have also noticed that Lemmy has gotten similar things as Reddit these days. Different opinions are not welcome, quick/ angry comments (politic community though)

However, Lemmy now has a decent app(s) such as Voyager. I also love that Lemmy does not restrict/ block users from using swear words (at least the instance I’m on does not).

Though in all honesty, I mostly use an RSS-feed such as Reeder and InoReader.

I feel like Lemmy is consistently hostile to different opinions. It's a real disappointment.

Depends on instance, largely. Lemmy instances usually lean towards 1 or maybe 2 camps of the "liberal, anarchist, Marxist" triangle, and are hostile to the other 1 or 2 camps.

I, unfortunately, have to agree and that’s why - most of the times, I just check Lemmy posts through RSS-Feed.

I sometimes hop onto Voyager and comment on posts/ articles. But the more hostile, twisting of words and such are happening. The less I will be using Voyager to comment and just use the RSS-Feed to see the posts.

I really liked Lemmy in the early days when people went from Reddit to Lemmy. Miss those times.
