for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (self.asklemmy)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I feel the same. Just releif. Since the redesign and official app, deep down I knew where it was heading. It's different this time (vs voat) where there is an alternative that has the spirit of why we all enjoyed reddit to begin with and without the commercialism that reddit has become. It's early, surely lots of challenges ahead for this idea but the decentralized nature I think will be very interesting and will allow for the more mainstream community to create a pleasant experience for those that wish it. Also, Lemmy is need of some technical polishing and ease of use, bug fixes, etc. Instances will also need funding by providing transparency and decent moderation. It's like reddit but without trying to monetize your content. Lol

It's all very exciting!

Very late but I also think Lemmy needs to ban bot accounts entirely, to avoid getting algorithm'd. Or at least fight it such that it is reduced maximally.
