Quality over quantity is what should be aimed for. The internet evolves and social sites get to a point of imploding. For whatever reason, and people then move onto something else. Some of us can remember BBS and IRC.

Each place shouldn’t set out to be the previous sites’ replacement. It should take what worked, the good parts, and build on them. Mix them with something new, and experiment. This way, you are not directly competing with the competition, but are close enough to draw some people away from the older websites.

Everything gets too big, too popular. It happens. Reddit was at its best 7 to 10 years ago. It’s well past its best before date. It has gone mouldy, started to smell, and taste funny. Time to chuck it out.

I have numerous things to keep me entertained inside. Gaming, reading, cooking, music, being creative which at present is drawing using dip pen and ink. Sometimes I will find myself writing, it could be poetry or some mindless rant. Like you, I enjoy a hike, and on days with bad weather I often find myself plotting my next few trips using one of the many map tracking websites available.

My plan for tomorrow, is building hedgehog houses. I will be doing this inside, but they will be going outside for any hedgehog visitors we get.

It was the most pointless shitshow of an AMA ever. It has confirmed the leaving Reddit is right, but I should’ve done it long ago. Thanks Spez.

Not sure if it’s niche, but more UK based communities are needed. Not sure the place is big enough for city by city or even county. But UK politics, casual, sport, etc…

Seeing friends get older, have kids, and them growing up. Older tech. Old news stories. It all does very little to me. Until we reach music. I am a huge music lover, and relate music to so many things in my life. Many songs will trigger something, maybe the gig I was at, a relationship, a location, etc… That really gets me. In my head, I still think I’m in my mid-twenties or something like that. Putting memories into a historic timeline in my head is almost impossible, apparently this is related to ADHD related. Soon as a song comes on, I am transported. Also, my mind is pretty good at remembering details like the album it’s from, artist, chart position, year, etc… when i struggle with retaining any other information.

I love it, but for some reason in my head they were Beehordes. No idea why?

I’m in England, Essex. That’s east of London. Stuck between two cities in a rural setting.

Not sure when Lemmy first entered my social media walkabout, but it was quite some time ago now. I have been searching for a place to replace Reddit for years. It has been a slow search. That search has now speeded up since the latest changes. At present, I am using Kbin to gain access to the Fediverse. It feels the most user-friendly. Not that I have been here long, minutes. But I have lurked for some time.

I am not looking for a direct Reddit replacement. I think many are, so lack of users. Different rules, jargon, etc… Do not bother me.
