I had joined Reddit twice in my lifetime but was not actively using it, and maybe that’s the reason I’m not very familiar with this forum culture.

I would say that Lemmy is by far the most responsive SNS in terms of the community engagement that I’ve ever used.

Yeah Lemmy is a smaller more intimate community. In fact I’m sure we’ve interacted before. Thats just the nature of the platform (and a positive).

Also why I don’t really agree with people who think the number 1 goal of Lemmy is to grow.

Even if Lemmy outgrew reddit, that small-scale vibe could still be maintained very easily by any specific community with the federation tools.

The only reason I want Lemmy to grow is because I miss having niche video game communities with more than a dozen members :c

Discord is increasingly filling that role now, but there are a large number of reasons why I’m not really a fan of that as a replacement.

Mostly I just want to talk about the new Factorio expansion with everyone…
