I left reddit a while ago for Instagram. There’s a lot of art on Instagram, and I enjoy that I can interact with artists there. I also do some personal and professional networking there. But I always missed having a text first space for discussion. And I missed that old school forum feel. It’s been a long time since reddit fulfilled those needs effectively, and Instagram isn’t even trying. I heard about Lemmy when the API exodus happened and decided to give it a shot. So far it’s kept my interest. It has a fun racous forum feel still, and could grow quite a bit yet without losing it.
