This is not going to be a blogpost about "Why do people still use Reddit instead of everyone moving to Lemmy?". I noticed that even with Mastodon users, who already understand and like the advantages of decentralized platforms, the usage of Lemmy is extremely small, and more people use Reddit. Most of them haven't even heard of Lemmy. To be fair, the Reddit usage also seems to be fairly low.

I’ll be honest I miss old Reddit

Everyone does. Just like we all miss og Myspace or geocities sites. Old Reddit at its prime was a different time period. Can't recapture that just like you can't recapture the geocities era of the internet.

We're being enshittified. Lemmy is the least enshittified (thus far.)
