Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.
What is reddit? It’s just a fast paced forum with lots of people.
Lemmy is in essence the exact same thing. It just operates far more decentralised than reddit.
The difference over the last months/years is that lemmy as a whole is growing. More people, more engagement. That’s it.
I don’t know what you mean by “lost it’s uniqueness” the only unique part of lemmy is it’s decentralised system. And that’s still the same.
