Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?

Why is everyone in such a hurry to make lemmy into a Reddit clone?

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 236 points 1 year ago

For more interesting and easily discoverable content. Really that's what people want at the end of the day.

Exactly. I hate Reddit more than most people here (I'm a mod on a sub that has more than a million subscribers and felt disrespected by spez), but the fact of the matter is they're the gold standard of quality answers and discussions.

I would want Lemmy to get to that level, not immediately, but that's the dream.

I want lemmy to become popular just so you can be quoted in news articles. User "fist eye mouth eye fist" wrote that...

Or just have ๐Ÿค›๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿคœ appear in reputable news outlets.

By the way why are people able to do that? I see that person's username is mojo by hovering over it but at a glance it's just emojis.

[-] mojo@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

Mojo is my account name but you can change your profile name at any time in the settings so I used dumb emojis lol
