Count me in. I do really miss Reddit though and Lemmy is nowhere near as interesting as Reddit. But no one said protesting is easy.

Well summarized!

The issue with FOSS software is it attracts people who use FOSS software. I'm not saying I want the reddit of 2021 back, but the reddit of 2016 would be nicer than the reddit of 2009 we are emulating now.

Once a few of us get our friends on board and we grow a touch more, I think Lemmy has a real chance of capturing some more of the "middle" tech literacy users, giving us some of what I, and I presume you, miss about Reddit.

Correct. I meant to say FOSS stuff, but my shame will live on the internet forever.
