Reddit hasn't really been good since the alogorith change that made the front-page stagnate for a day. I got the most out of it when browsing the frontpage was completely different 6 hours later. Once they made it so that everyone who checked reddit that day would get the same experience, the spirit of the site died.

I've noticed that the lemmy front page has a much greater turnover than the reddit front page, which is nice.

The transparent and non user-tailored algorithms, may be Lemmy's strongest asset.

The weird thing is apparently, I wasn't allowed to delete my account last night. I thought I did, but I went back not too long ago and on a lark, signed in again. Account's empty of all my unarchived posts - since I deleted it all, but I still have access. Think I'm going to see if the PM's work and just start hoovering interesting articles and items from there. WTF, it's not like I didn't bring content to the site.. Gonna take the best of it back and bring it here. Fuck it.
