I'm a bit sad we didn't have more time. But at the same time, I could see where reddit was going: it was inevitable. Once I saw what new reddit looked like, I knew this day was coming at some point. Doesn't mean I'm not sad about it though. Lots of history and useful information will be lost.

Not really, lemmy feels very similar to reddit, it only needs a little more content.
I'm missing it a lot less than I ever missed Twitter…
For the most part, Reddit has sort of filled a void of community groups or random goofy videos/memes for me, as I'm not on either FB/IG or TikTok. On Reddit I could see a post about something going on in my city (Portland), a review of a game I like, a cat floofing out of a tiny vase, and a gorgeous photo of a mountainside all in the span of 30 seconds. It'll be a bummer not to have that experience any more, but I get enough value out of the Fediverse at this point (along with a few Discord servers) I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
