Reddit would become compatible with Lemmy essentially making it it’s own “instance”, and suddenly 3rd party apps work with Reddit again.
Full circle.

My mind has already closed to Reddit. At first it was surprising how quickly I abandoned it, but it’s not really. The Internet is a fast moving place, with sudden trends and viral content being the norm rather than the exception. I like Lemmy so far and it serves the same purpose, perhaps with its own problems but with pros that outweigh the cons. No one person or company owns it. That’s progress.
For me, it felt really easy to leave because I had zero social connections on Reddit. I’m not sure if I’m the weird one, but I never learned any individual users’ names or felt ways about stuff, except in the rare case that they became a meme, like shittymorph. I was there for like 12 years and nothing tied me to it. Moving to the threadiverse was as easy as changing a bookmark.
I’ll certainly miss u/shittymorph.
That was also my experience on Reddit. Subreddits would sometimes have a culture in terms of the types of posts and comments that get upvotes, but I was never really aware of specific individuals.
