definitely agree, though the way that lemmy isn’t overseen by a single entity would likely mitigate some of the negative effects in my opinion. but there’s definitely a sweet spot between inactive and dead communities and ones which are too active, in a way i tend to not be a fan of (thinking of mainstream subs like r/funny and r/askreddit’s quality drop). in any case though, if an instance you’re in gets too mainstream for your liking, you can just hop over to a new, smaller instance/community and join local groups they have there for similar interests ¯\(ツ)/¯

completely understandable, there’s WAY too much shitty stuff happening at the moment with reddit to be able to keep track of it all honestly

they probably are referring to the fact that reddit isn’t allowing 3rd party apps to have NSFW content on them

tried going down this stupid kiddie monkey slide at a local festival a few years ago- was wearing shorts, and didn’t slide but rather tumbled down. skinned my knee and have the scars to prove it still :)
