I just wanted to tell you how great you all are.

I moved to Lemmy shortly before the mass exodus from Reddit in 2023. I eventually created an instance of my own and to begin with, leaving Reddit felt like a mistake.

I could browse Lemmy's equivalent of /r/all top-last-24-hours in about 15 minutes, so my doom-scroll time plummeted. I was better for it. However, I still yearned for the meme laughs and thought provoking comment threads of Reddit. Lemmy had them, but they were much fewer.

Fast forward to today. My instance is hosting a popular up and coming community, of which I'm honoured, even if I'm not welcome. The top-24-hour of all posts is now more than enough to satisfy my needs. I laugh at memes, I get to share posts I found on Lemmy with friends and family, I'm exposed to more cultures than just American which is a real refreshing change.

It isn't mainstream, and I think its better for it. It has its own culture, and we are beginning to get all meta with Lemmy in-jokes which I think is both annoying and awesome at the same time (ie. Hussain memes).

Overall, I am just really happy for Lemmy and am glad to be sharing it with all of you. May the good times continue.

I'm with you. I've been a redditor for more than a decade, and I've really been disappointed with it's decline. It's gotten much worse lately. Not only is reddit clamping down on speech, more people there are just assholes now. Yesterday I made a comment on a thread about cops chasing a graduate that had brought a baby on stage. In response to a comment about the cops handcuffing the baby, I suggested that they would probably punch the baby in the face while yelling "stop resisting!" Obviously a joke and clearly not advocating violence, but my comment was deleted and my entire reddit account was suspended for 3 days. Jokes on them, as I'm not interested in going back.

Edit:

I didn't word this well. Someone made a joke something like "what were they going to do when they catch her, handcuff the baby?" No babies were actually harmed.

That's pretty funny, also sad because it's sorta believable

Holy crap that is harsh. Reddit is dead to me, and you.

Did they really handcuff a baby?

I'm sorry, I didn't word that very well. Someone made a joke something like "what were they going to do when they catch her, handcuff the baby?"
