I joined during the first Reddit exodus, and it seemed like for ages the amount of Lemmy content was generally increasing (sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but overall increasing). Now it seems that when I sort by New, I get through everything since my last visit much more quickly than I used to. Is that my imagination, or is the activity declining?

I'm actually coming back to Lemmy. I left reddit, but then went back to it with limited participation. And now it's truly a cesspool. Lemmy may not be a perfect replacement, but it feels better. I should have never left.

Sorry to hear your experience was so bad, but welcome back.

The situation with bots and trolls on Reddit is horrific. Do you remember that time a few years back when Russia disconnected their whole country from the Internet? That day there was a dramatic decrease in assholes and trolls. Like, night and day, it was unmistakeable and widely commented on.

So hopefully Lemmy doesn't catch on so will that those folks come here in force, too. For now at least, it's much better.

There's way less content here but the content that is here is way better, and the level of intelligence and civility on display is night and day vs Reddit.
