Lemmy has a surprisingly active community that has stuck around after leaving reddit.
- moffkalast 3y agoEh, Lemmy is only Reddit in terms of its thread layout, but overall it's set up far more like Discord. Lots of loosely coupled small servers with no overall aggregation since federation is entirely optional. Reddit's main process of aggregation and subreddit discovery, i.e. the "front page", is afaik not a concept on Lemmy. HN is far more like Reddit than Lemmy, and probably has more users too. They were unfortunately also caught completely unprepared at the time and fell flat on their face when it was time to scale up to accept Reddit's migratory mass. I'm still not sure if I actually have an account or not because the registration process was half broken. Time will tell how prepared Godot was, but at least they released the somewhat more stable 4.1 recently.
