Has it grown like people have kept predicting? or is this peak lemmy? Did Peak Lemmy already happen?

    A better question is… Is Lemmy better than reddit in some way so it’s worth for users to switch to it?

    I like that it’s decentralized, but the largest instances seem to have moderation policies that are very similar to reddit.

      Or worse. Censorship and childish content warnings are rife. At least it’s more transparent with built in mod logs but I wish there was at least some innovation beyond being just a federated reddit clone. Still nobody knows what an upvote means, same as reddit.

      Moderation was always mostly in the user’s hands, so it makes sense that it didn’t change.

          I have news for you xD the creator of the sub/community is a normal user. You can create your own community and run it however you want, even democratically or whatever.

      At least you can switch instances easily, so that’s already a major improvement.
