Perhaps this is a dark thought… but I’m wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to “We did it Reddit!” or “Thanks for the gold kind stranger!” will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it’s unavoidable.

        Sure, and Lemmy existed prior to the “Reddit exodus”, so people like Lemmy too.

        Maybe enjoy Lemmy for what it is, before trying to bend and twist it into Reddit’s image? Why not consider it a fresh start.

          I get the impression that the goal is more to have Lemmy fill the hole that Reddit has left rather than duplicating it in some way; Take the good and leave the bad.

      Lemmy is strongly inspired by reddit. So it shouldn’t be too unexpected that a culture similar to that of the reddit community will develop here.

      Same thing with the various Twitter migrations where they kept trying to turn Mastodon/ Calckey into the new Twitter. I think people like familiarity.
