Is anyone else beginning to mourn reddit? (lemmy.ml)

I've never been sentimental about a social media site but it's sad for me to see reddit so clearly killing itself. Pushshift is already banned and Apollo is soon to follow. Reddit will either pivot fully to a mainstream audience or die out. It's just sad for me to see it doing it to itself.

I'm not really "mourning" it, but I had a weird feeling, like the end of a great book (series) or movie, like I wish it would have continued more.

Hiwever after switching to lemmy, the community here seems way more active and friendly, and even though there are less overall users, I get more interaction with my posts and comments, maybe also because they aren't drowned in a sea of other comments.

I have the same feeling - I feel welcome here even though I spent years on Reddit lurking. I'm not mourning Reddit however as I've watched its slow decline over the years. Here's to many happy years on Lemmy!
