    This is it for me for mobile Reddit. I also cancelled my Gold subscription, and likely will step down as mod for a tiny sub i mod, not gonna give them any more free work. And if (when!) they remove Old Reddit i’ll leave the site for good. Too bad Lemmy is still in very early stages (very similar to Reddit in it’s first years in fact), or it’d be THE alternative. Hopefully many people will join in.

      Too bad Lemmy is still in very early stages…

      Lemmy is only one platform on the Fediverse which is enormous.

        You’re technically correct, but go to any of the various “This is the Fediverse”, “Join Fediverse” and the like, and many, many times you won’t even see them acknowledge the existence of Lemmy, happened to me when i decided to jump in last month. Compare amounts of people, Mastodon instances can number in the thousands while the best you get here is dozens, maybe low hundreds. Lemmy is tiny, and it’s focus on communities isolates it further from the rest of the Fediverse, the federation doesn’t help in the slightest, open Lemmy and all you see is the same dozen posts for days, you don’t see on Lemmy posts from the rest of Fediverse because they just don’t apply. This is fine, lemme emphasize, but it’s early stages and it’s undeniable.

            sure seems to integrate better with the rest of group platforms on the 'verse, including Friendica Forums, Gup.pe groups, and Lemmy Communities, in addition to their own version of subreddits, that they call magazines for some reason.
