    I’ve had my account for almost 15 years. I’m a top contributor. I feel like the entire site is just filled with freaking bots now. I hate to sound like an old person yelling about the changes, but I always thought of Reddit as the Internet “TRL“ if anybody remembers that show from MTV. But just like everything else in this country, it’s becoming more and more commercialized and the freedom that once was Reddit is nearly close to gone.

    Someone in the thread about this on Reddit mentioned Lemmy and I’m hoping That this is a new place to go. Been using Reddit for so long. I don’t know where else to go.

      Lemmy is great because there is a lot of redundancy of having multiple community ran instances instead of a centralized platform like reddit has.

      I’ve moved over two Lemmy two months (I got the feeling that I needed a Reddit alternative).

      I still visit Reddit for more niche content, but for many things Lemmy works fine.

      That being said, Lemmy is a lot smaller than Reddit. I believe Lemmy (all instances) only have 50K DAUs, while Reddit has 73 million DAUs, so a lot of things will be missing.
