To me, it kind of does! Lemmy (with copious blocking) comes as close as I’ve ever felt to what Reddit felt like in 2010.

“All” still requires a lot of filtering, but I see interesting stuff every day.

And I came back to read the other person’s comment, and you had replied! The person I replied to, I remembered the username. And it’s a really thoughtful reply! This happens a lot on smaller communities on Reddit as well, but the whole thing used to feel like that.

I see that on the fediverse pretty much every day! It’s always all about the (preferably kind) communities you build around specific things.

    I agree. Since reddit has turned into whatever it is that they want now instead of the original "link aggregator with comments" that I started with and liked a lot, I feel that the threadiverse covers the era of reddit very well

    And now I understand why people would go to /all on reddit before. With the lack of (or little) algorithm back then on reddit and (mostly) solely rely only on voting, /all really do can be a slot machine of interesting topics.
