The nice thing about Lemmy is, it doesn't care if you "go back to reddit". Nobody is monetizing you here so nobody is incentivized to try and get you to stay. Not having fun using Lemmy? Go on then. Reddit is probably where you are happiest. This is a newish system that has exploded. If you can't be inconvenienced by glitches and growing pains in a FREE service, by all means, go be a product for Reddit to sell.
This service isn't really free either to be honest
How so?
The admins are paying or the donations are what keeps the services financed :)
True, but no oneβs milking you for money here
