People who have been on Lemmy since the very initial reddit API debacle, or before even that, how much do you think it has changed? (sh.itjust.works)

Title basically. I was here at the very start of it all and really enjoyed it. However I felt it lost its uniqueness within a few months of mass migration and started turning a bit like reddit again so I deleted my old account. However Reddit has only gotten much much worse since, and Lemmy has stayed about the same. So here again.

Been here since exactly the API debacle, and it's still kinda the same, just less attempts to make niche communities become a thing and more clustering on the big communities.

    Would have posted the same, but this exactly. Don't know whether it's a good or a bad thing really. Enthusiasm for niche topics is awesome, but you need to maintain that enthusiasm to have a community, and that's easier with fewer, larger groups.

    We also used to have a lot of 'porn on the front page', but that's gone too. Have no objection to a bit of nudity, but there's plenty of internet for that elsewhere.
