In part because it reminds me a bit of the old internet, with stuff being spread around everywhere.

Being “harder”* to understand than reddit, twitter or other big companies’ services is also a good thing, because people should remember that they have a brain and they should use it.

    I like that the rough edges keep the boomers away. That’s the point where I know to move on from a social media site.

      I used the old site for more than a decade, and I remember when the highest upvoted posts on the frontpage had only 2K upvotes. Lemmy is at that point now and its future is full of potential.
