Slow organic growth is far better than explosives, unsustainable growth. We continue to provide content and actual authentic conversation and they will come.
Yep, I also love the late 00s and early 10s feeling to Lemmy now. I find myself having more stuff done IRL since quitting reddit and browsing Lemmy occasionally.
I'm finding I use Lemmy more than Reddit, because the place is less hostile and the discussions are usually actually worth reading again.
And I'm finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade
No, no it's not.
I came. And I agree. Anything that gets too popular too quickly just turns to shit. A huge influx of users who stuck around would have ended up turning this place into Reddit 2.0
I don't want this to be Reddit 2.0

Not unintentional 👀
It very nearly did. I was noticing reddit like behavior during the july 1 period of lemmy. Thankfully it has subsided and the general civility of discourse has returned.
Either that or it's because I have blocked enough people already to weed out the assholes.
Usually I notice the admins are right onto it and actually take reports seriously. It's so refreshing.
What kind of behavior happened during July 1?
I noticed a somewhat trend of reddit like replies, you know the usual one liner tired puns, never ending chain of them. The replies were aggressive and argumentative. Some comments straying from the topic of the post, in favor of making in jokes that were traceable to reddit it's origin (obviously because majority came from reddit)
Right now, there is less of that. Might be most people got tired and returned to reddit.
I came too.
