Try not caring. The more Reddit users come here the more it’s going to suck.

This is just bot-driven FUD anyway, Lemmy is nothing like old Reddit and it wouldn’t be disqualifying if it was.

Frankly, whatever secret sauce it is that makes social media popular is also what drives them to be such shit and be so shit for society. I like Lemmy way more than I like Reddit, and even though I have to go back to Reddit from time to time to fill the needs of my niche interests (which can get no traction where there are not mobs of participants in the greater whole) I never ever look at my interactions there and go “I wish Lemmy was more like this.”

It’s a conundrum.

Nobody said they are. However, “a great fediverse alternative to Facebook” does not mean, in the minds of most people who might read it: “you could host a website that would serve as a great fediverse alternative to Facebook.”
