I left reddit on june 12th last year in protest of spez's decision to change the reddit api from being free as in free beer to an unbelievably expensive cost. That same day, I joined lemmy on a now abandoned account.

At first, I had a hard time adapting to lemmy's significantly smaller community, but I got used to it and learned to embrace it. However, recently I started missing reddit a lot more, and after some consideration, made an account on the (demonic) website.

But I don't think it felt the same way as before, sure, there was more posts, but they lacked a heart and soul, they were all so generic, as if it lost it's spark.

Has anyone else that's been on there noticed anything similar??

I only use Reddit for one small niche hobby. And given that a bunch of those people still use Facebook, I'm not that surprised they haven't relocated to Lemmy.

I deleted nur Facebook Account sometime ago. I cleanly left all groups, "unfriended" all accounts (most of those were inactive anyways) and removed all my comments and media from over a decade.

I don't think I lost anything.

My timeline was full of advertising or bot post or mirrored content already available on other platforms. The only real interactions were in the comments and ever there it was soulless.

That's great about the Fediverse, the different bubbles are much smaller but much, mich more personal and connected.
