For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

12 years of reddit. It will take some time to adjust but I also switched from google to duckduckgo years ago after decades of google, and then too never looked back. Lemmy does need a LOT of work, still, but so did reddit in the early days..

To those working on Lemmy, please don't fuck this up for us. Don't be a spez.

The nice thing about Lemmy that Reddit never had is that it can only improve in ways that the community wants! Not more putting up with asinine decisions from people who only see us as dollar signs.

How is lemmy financed? Someone still needs to pay for servers, right?

Each instance is responsible for their own server costs. Many accept donations!
