    The difference is that this is an open source community driven effort. Reddit is a for profit business. On that basis, I give Lemmy a lot more leeway when it comes to bugs. Reddit just turned into a slog over the last few years BECAUSE they try to monetize it to death.

      I joined Lemmy about a month ago and left Reddit. I already new that it was still a work in progress so I was fully prepared for the inevitable hiccups. It’s already come so far in just a month! Apps are coming along nicely and everything is working pretty smoothly (besides the recent hacking situation). I really hope it continues to grow and thrive.
