It really feels like Lemmy is alive because of you.
When I first checked out Lemmy, I wasn’t expecting there to be so much content, so much discussion, and so much community. But I’ve spent the better part of two days glued to my screen, browsing content all day. I’ve seen so many posts, so many interesting discussions about the fediverse, and of course, plenty of memes. It really feels like the start of something incredible.
I’ve gotta get back to work soon, but wow. I think this whole fediverse thing really is the next step for social media. If I find some extra time, I’ll definitely consider contributing to Lemmy’s source code to help this project and the FOSS ecosystem grow.
Lemmy definitely scratched the Reddit itch for me, and I don’t see myself going back. Unfortunately however, it is still a huge container of information that I still find myself relying on if I need to search for something.
The information contained in past posts and comments on Reddit is immense. Usually, the easiest way for me to find advice is a Google search that includes “Reddit” in the search field. It almost always returns a comment with exactly the information I was looking for
on duckduckgo I use
site:reddit.comand the results will only include links to reddit, I find it better than Reddit’s search (duh)
