Yeah, lemmy has become really good lately. It's generally better than Reddit these days. I tried it a year ago and it was still quiet here, now I see posts with 2000+ upvotes
The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.
The sheer coverage of every subject on Reddit is crazy. Yesterday I was getting infuriated at a stupid plot in the 3 Body Problem, so I ddged it, and of course I found 3 Reddit threads sharing my frustrations. What a shame it has to get enshitified.
Upvoted because "ddged". Wonderful. 😊
What dat?

Good alternative search engine, have to use a bit of traditional search engineering sometimes, but to me that's a good thing, feature not a bug.
It can't find everything, think of it as an extra tool in the toolbox. Having selection between search engines is a good thing. Don't want just one monolithic source of information.
