Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

A lot of people still care about reddit

It's pretty hard to let go of a community you spent years on

Meh. I was there 15 years. I'm not missing anything by being here instead. Heck, I feel like here is the more exciting place to be!

Yeah this place is pretty new and it really does feel nice here (mostly) but I participated a lot in some of the communities I took part in. And those were usually helping newer people in those spaces. It's pretty fun teaching people about new hobbies and also being that newbie.

It's kinda sad to me seeing what Reddit is doing, but also refreshing seeing these new places popping up.

I'm going to do what I can here, but I think I will miss it at times.

I almost made it to 14 years. (Thanks Spez!)

I wish the pathfinder 2e communities were more active, but otherwise I’m having a hell of a good time! Very reminiscent of the Digg migration.

They’ll grow (the PF2E communities) along with Lemmy, and another chapter in my (our) experience opens.

But one will become a lot easier when the spam bots take over, Reddit shoves more ads down your throat and posts by crazy people don’t get deleted. Welcome to the new Reddit experience.
