for the Reddit refugees, do you also feel a bit heartbroken? (lemmy.world)

For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

I have been on Reddit for 13+ years and it's gone through a lot of changes. I do miss the old days when it felt like one big community. These days, I have found my niche pockets of Reddit where I can get a small semblance of that old community feel which I have been content with. There really isn't a strong contender to genuinely replace Reddit, but I guess that's just the way it goes. If Reddit does really go the way of Digg, I will still miss it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. Happy to try out something new, though.
