It reminds me of the older internet. Not necessarily in form, but I hadn't realized how the same everything I'd been doing online has been. Like... for the last 15 years.
Lemmy is different and kind of unintuitive and challenging-but-also-easy, if that makes any sense. I made geocities sites and wrote blogs and whatnot in the late-90s. That's the kind of energy going on here right now. It'll change,, but for now I'm enjoying it a lot.
It definitely still feels like it's just sorta getting started, but this platform has got a lot of promise. It's been pretty easy to get going thus far. I can definitely feel how the population is tiny in comparison to reddit, and it's honestly a little refreshing.
I'm definitely getting old BB-style forum vibes, very much like the Reddit of the early 2010s did.
