Especially for an obese country.

As a corporate entity Reddit had much more liability to worry about and more to lose.

Part of the appeal of the fediverse is that any of us anywhere can run an instance with different stakes, applicable laws, etc.

Without having to worry about profit, conversations can flourish.

I think it would actually be pretty cool if somehow you could link configured subreddits that people have saved or subscribed to into a search for Lemmy communities.

Obviously we want to minimize time that distracts you from the Lemmy version, but I do think it would help people pivot into Lemmy communities away from their favorite subreddits.
