It reminds me of old reddit when it was primarily tech-heavy content filled with passionate developers constantly building on top of the platform. I doubt Lemmy or kbin ever see a fraction of reddit's traffic but that's ok with me as the content is better suited to me and the conversation taking place is just as valuable
Having been on Lemmy now for a few weeks it's really brought home to me how brand and bot driven Reddit had become.
I spend a few hours here a day and have yet to see a single post which subtly (or non subtly) includes branding.
It's really quite refreshing to just be among other people, our thoughts and opinions without being sold to.
Like the Reddit of yester year for sure......
I think it was bound to happen at some point. Like the tech-oriented part of the conversation moved from reddit to Hacker News in a drip feed.
