Lemmy is pretty much my new Reddit much in the same way Reddit was my new Fark.com 12 years ago.
Now that I'm on Lemmy, I'm also exploring Fark again. I'm wondering why I ever left as it still is super relevant.
I'm on Fark more than I used to be on Reddit. It's still my go-to for political discussions and kept me sane during the Trump years. Honestly, the community is pretty good there and there's a nice balance between insightful comments and snark. But Reddit was better for hobbyists, niche interests and tech discussions and I'm hoping those communities will develop here on Lemmy.
