Definitely! I was there in the early days of reddit and it was great, but it's been a steady decline since. Lemmy feels like the best parts of that with the right quality of life improvements and the guarantees that the communities can stay in control. This is the place to be!
I loved 2012 reddit. Small, tight-knit communities of generally good and intelligent people. Now the average user just... lacks self-awareness? Or a sense of community/culture? After a while the millionth person secretly promoting their blog, refusing to search past posts, flipping shit at mods, or trolling conversations just gets to you, and you start to feel like crap when you doomscroll through time-sink subs.
