Yeah but that can be determined just by account age and number of posts, not by the public reception of those posts.

So far I’ve seen lots of discussion in AskLemmy and plenty of memes in 196 or 195

Nope, I’m seeing discussions unrelated to Reddit every time I’m on here. And there’s often more comments than I care to read! The main hurdle for me is the long load times and the inconsistency of the buttons.

But remember!

There’s never going to be a perfect alternative. No Reddit alternative is going to function the same as a massive 18 year old site from Day 1. It takes some time, some stress tests, some development, and some dedication. Just remember the shit they pulled to bring us here.
