You know at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if reddit had bots to discourage users from migrating. Everytime theres a post about lemmy and other fediverse stuff it gets bashed into oblivion IMMEDIATELY. Most of the stuff those comments say are things like "Its buggy" "It's empty". I've had zero issues with bugs here. And yea, seeing that last pinned post by the lemmy mods, if lemmy was empty before it definitely is not anymore.

It's pretty crazy. I saw a post on reddit about an article that was talking about the fediverse. I kid you not, 120 comments, 90% of those comments completely bashing it. "iT's bRokEn, iTs bugGy, eW iT loOks likE sOoo oUtdatEd". Literally not even giving it a single chance. I've been on lemmy for about... 3 days now? Absolutely not regretting it.
