I discovered Lemmy as a reddit alternative once they introduced the api changes, and from what I understand, so did most of the current users. So I was wondering what was Lemmy like before that? Did any notable things or inside jokes happened? If you are one of the old users are you happy with this growth? Is there anything you’ll miss?
I wasnt here for long (lemmy wise, i mostly use calckey, interface like twitteri) idk if its me but lemmygrad.ml had alot of out posts then lemmy.ml Anither note i might selfhost my own lemmy instance, to help with keeping lemmy decentralized
