Not an admin or mod, but I can say that this is already better than reddit. There's more transparency and users are being listened to. You can follow the kbinMeta magazine, for instance, to see what I'm talking about.

thanks for the reply, being here oddly feels nostalgic it is like exploring new forums in early 2000's, I hope reddit dies in a fiery death and alternatives thrive and grow.
I think it's unlikely that reddit will die, just as twitter didn't die, and it's in a worse place financially. While it won't die, it surely won't be the same. And that give us an opportunity to grow real communities here, on lemmy or mastodon.
I gotta say that I was not an active redditor for the past couple of years, but I'm happy to engage in conversations here, to help the platform grow.
having lots of upvotes from faceless users and seeing numbers go up without any human connection is meaningless I think most people would choose to be part of active but small community of users than a bot infested spamfest site.
Reddit for the last couple years felt like shouting into the wind and the only response you get back are the jerks telling you why your wrong.
Reddit is big enough for me to not have really experienced this too much, cuz I was mostly lurking in smaller subreddits. But I remember sometimes visiting r/politics or other toxic subreddits and never wanting to ever go back there.
I will try to be more active on here once a functional Android app comes out. I will try to be more active on desktop but when I was on Reddit I usually used the Reddit is Fun app.
