I discovered Lemmy as a reddit alternative once they introduced the api changes, and from what I understand, so did most of the current users. So I was wondering what was Lemmy like before that? Did any notable things or inside jokes happened? If you are one of the old users are you happy with this growth? Is there anything you’ll miss?

      It still seams a lot more peaceful than Reddit was. It feels like the early 2000s all over again!

        There are certain factions constantly agitating for defederation, which is a nuisance for several reasons – not the least of which being it sort of defeats the point of the format!
