For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I view this as a fresh start. Cut off the old and grow a new one. Just like a gecko. I spent a lot of time on reddit but I can't say I ever actually connected with another person on it, there were just too many people on even the small subs I joined. Maybe lemmy will bring back the small internet forum feel and we'll actually be able to stand out from the crowd better and actually get to know each other.

This is vet much the case for me atlest. I've posted/commented more in the last 2 or 3 days here than i did the the last 2-3 months on reddit.

Hey RickyRigatoni, nice to meet you :)

Mastodon totally did this. It’s way easier to connect with people on a topic. I think lemmy will be the same.
