Im very excited for Lemmy. It seems a bit rough around the edges, but I'm very hopeful for it. That being said... (self.main)

Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it. Otherwise all this placewill be is a temporary hold over until we all just fall back on what we know cause we keep hammering in the name into our brain over and over again. I think the same sort of thing happened with the original "black out" of Twitter but we all came back to it because we kept thinking of Twitter in regards to whatever new site we tried. If you want Lemmy to succeed, let Lemmy be Lemmy

man there is no need to be so insulting, maybe a snarky quip woulda been fine, but this is so far past the line, its not cool at all to be that rude to a guy posing a question, participating

Participating being a key word here. I've been trying to get conversations going on other things going and so I do know what this guy means - I also know it probably will just take a matter of time for things to settle down.

But that's the insulting kind of talk I haven't seen on here much, compared to Reddit

I came over a few weeks back.

The place was almost a ghost town compared to today. Plenty of posts with zero replies, some with a half-dozen on a good day.

Today I’m seeing tons of posts with over a hundred replies and a bunch of new magazines. Yeah, there’s gonna be some bitterness about reddit, but this place is taking off nicely so far.
