I'm definitely seeing the benefits of belonging to a smaller Lemmy instance today.

I've gone and made accounts of a handful of Lemmy instances, all of them larger, more popular ones.

... and I can't access any of them directly today, likely due to the influx of users from Reddit.

Programming.dev is alive and well though.

Man, this place definately has the vibe of an old timey BB forum. You recognise people in your replies like you used to. I find that I'm gawking at stats way less and I'm able to just talk to people. Engagement is way less, but maybe that's a good thing.

It's so refreshing. It feels like the old internet

There's a Lemmy frontend that fully emulates a phpBB board. It's kind of amazing.

Seeing this just felt like unlocking a bunch of core memories.
