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.

Kbin was once more promising than Lemmy, we didn't know how hard it was to keep a Kbin instance running, and the mighty PieFed wasn't here yet. We couldn't imagine that kbin.social, lemm.ee, and lemmy.fmhy.ml all wouldn't last. Instances also defederated each other far more commonly back then. Art communities were just getting started here, experimenting with what types of posts work best across platforms. Our disdain for corporate social media united us here, and that disdain has only grown stronger. Yet, !columbus@lemmy.world was once more active than it is now
