Reddit seems like more of a landfill of missed potential and disappointment than lemmy. So, it’s ET.
Lemmy is a fractured, incomplete vision like Atari: Waterworld (1984), one piece of a larger puzzle that never came together. A high concept mess, that only gains traction due to the failure of the larger players, but never took off.
If I wanted to be kind to lemmy I would call it the Adventure (1980) of social platforms : a clunky, primitive collection of blocky squares that is objectively hard to look at, yet beloved by a small cult following simply because it pioneered a cool open world concept.
