Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

Yes, absolutely. I love(d) Reddit! All the niche communities, all the subs that I enjoyed so much, like r/whowouldwin and r/tiktokcringe and r/askhistorians and so many more :(

I admit, I have sentimentality attached there. It sucks. It does feel almost like the loss of a friend.

Honestly, I really couldn't agree more, there really was a sub for almost anything that you could think of especially when it comes to interests and hobbies, it's just the bigger subreddits that tends to have a lot of karma-whoring and spams that makes them just not palatable to browse. While im sure lemmy would eventually have those niche communities set up, it's definitely going to take a while to do so.
