    Nah it sucked. I was on it. It was just lemmy but with less features and with less content. It was dead the moment it started because it did nothing.

    I don’t understand how they even think it could succeed.

      I didn’t even know it relaunched. They should have advertised it better. I would have checked it out had I known it was coming back.

        I paid 5 bucks for a founder badge. I’ve spent more on poorer decisions but that only reduces the sting a little.

          Yeah, same. What I found weird is that they couldn’t even send a freaking message. No “hey, we’re shutting down”, and I guess some people will be annoyed because they lost their saved stuff.

      Right, but isn’t Lemmy itself a bit of a “less features” version of Reddit? I’m not here for features, I’m here to get away from toxic Reddit mods because fuck spez.

      I’ll admit, I might have taken the bet that “reddit but not reddit” would hold at least some interest.

        Kind of but decentralization really makes it up for it. Digg didn’t even have custom communities let alone decentralization.

          I have my complaints with Lemmy but I was astounded with how bad Digg was. It’s like none of them actually used these community based apps.
