I went to Reddit today... (beehaw.org)

And saw a bunch of posts about the third party apps closing down, and lots of negativity about that whole fiasco.

... And I realized I hadn't been there for a week... And frankly didn't miss it. I am really loving the beehaw (and Lemmy as a whole) community. Thanks for being open, welcoming, responsive, engaging, and just generally nice people. I'm happy to be here. :)

Definitely relate to this! If I google something and one of the top results is a Reddit post, I’m usually pretty excited because it means other people having similar issues will be able to offer advice on my particular use case. And there’s so much content already on Reddit that you’re very likely to find something helpful!

Yeah, it's so useful because you get suggestions from real users along with discussion and a voting system. You're not just relying on an algorithm to point to a poorly written list with the right keywords stuffed in. Oh, you're looking for the best xyz? Here's a list of Amazon affiliate links chosen by an "expert." No thanks.
