    I definitely really like the quality of discussion on Lemmy, it makes me feel like it’s actually worthwhile to comment and discuss things again. It feels like how it felt when I started using reddit back in 2012 or so.

      Yep. Been saying for a while that it feels like old Reddit.

      I wonder if it’s a nerd-level thing. Reddit devolved as it turned into another social media outlet instead of a niche internet techie place.

        It’s also a volume thing. By the time I reach a reddit comment thread what I wanted to say has already been said, and if I say it again my comment will drown in a sea of heavily upvoted comments. On lemmy you can be several days late to the party and still get both upvotes and responses.

      I like the lack of in-jokes, one-liners and endless popculture references.
