Reddit just isn't how it used to be. (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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??

Before I do that I usually try to ask the question here to generate some content and interaction. If it's for some niche community that doesn't exist I ask the question in a more general community. Usually works out pretty well.

Edit: good to well

If there was a relevant one here I'd post here for sure. Reddit is a last resort or if I really need a response from someone sooner than later, cause there's still more eyes on Reddit.
