I’ve gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

… and I can’t access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

    It really does feel like the old web again to a certain extent. I hope this “age of enshittification” leads to a throwback to the old web but I’m not convinced it will happen. I feel like Lemmy (and other federation platforms) are definitely our best shot at it :)

    Anyway, happy to be here :)

      I would much rather have fewer more engaging conversations than the circus Reddit was. Sure it had more conversation but sometimes that felt more isolating since every comment became transactional noise. Really hoping I can find the sweet spot on Lemmy!
