It's not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods... y'all just nice people. Lemmy's got a good vibe going... or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

If people complain about the stability they were clearly not around for the early days of Reddit. It was flakey as hell.

Reddit was down all the time during the digg migration

I mean while that may be true, reddit is still providing a benchmark. old.reddit still works on desktop and mobile, so unlike reddit when it was new, lemmy has competiton.

Before Reddit there was digg and the users left for Reddit because digg was the one pulling shenanigans back then. Reddit definitely had competition even back then.
