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 view this as a fresh start. Cut off the old and grow a new one. Just like a gecko. I spent a lot of time on reddit but I can't say I ever actually connected with another person on it, there were just too many people on even the small subs I joined. Maybe lemmy will bring back the small internet forum feel and we'll actually be able to stand out from the crowd better and actually get to know each other.

This is vet much the case for me atlest. I've posted/commented more in the last 2 or 3 days here than i did the the last 2-3 months on reddit.

I feel that the inevitable fragmentation of larger communities in federated social networks will just give conversations more room to breathe. We'll be able to get to know members of our own local server instead of just drifting around in a sea of meaningless names.
