Sunshine (she/her)Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again
WaldschratWhat happened 2023?
Edgarallenpwn3rd party API restrictions as they ramped up for their IPO and the shitshow that ensued.
The first time people actually joined lemmy, before then was probably like 1 instance with near-dead activity.
I remember there were reddit likes too, they just didnt work with fediverse. And were mostly…well almost all were unsavory. Like they were ONLY populated with people reddit didnt want anymore. So not the greatest.
Im glad lemmy/piefed/kbin and all other activityhub/fediverse alternatives are out there.
Die4EverI just want to point out that Kbin is no longer being worked on and Mbin forked from it and the work is continuing there under that name. The major instances switched over a while ago.
The other answers are correct, I just wanted to add that they’re talking about Reddit
