    Hey, Don, I know you’re excited and all, and I do appreciate that, but Lemmy isn’t going to turn into Reddit overnight.

    I’ve been here for only over a year, and I’ve seen growth, but it’s going to take a while (possibly never) for us to see Reddit size activity.

      Don’t know you dude or dudeette but we can try to be what reddit first started as and what now it should be. It would be nice to show them compition to show their way is not working and ours are.

    “Can we have a better relationship than you did with your ex?”

    We are who we are and Lemmy is what it is. How the userbase and the platform develop can be better than Reddit, because Reddit belongs to the bots and hedge funds, but that depends on what happens between us.

    We left Reddit, and some of y’all are unfaithful to Lemmy, for weak reasons and Lemmy isn’t Reddit.

    This is where we are and it is up to us and Lemmy to grow together. Lemmy or us can fuck up a good thing by trying to make Lemmy into what we miss from Reddit and Lemmy not being what Lemmy is.

    Fuck Reddit. Lemmy deserves to be our main bitch that tolerates our fondness for Reddit because it isn’t as great as Reddit was; but Lemmy could be the best we ever had if we are faithful.

    I’d say !casualconversation@lemm.ee does a good job. I liked the equivalent in our favorite land of the snoos, but would say the one on here easily beats it out in terms of a good time. The original community that inspired the one on here had a very frequent judgmental streak.
