I hate Reddit more than most people here (I'm a mod on a sub that has more than a million subscribers and felt disrespected by spez), but the fact of the matter is they're the gold standard of quality answers and discussions. I would want Lemmy to get to that level, not immediately, but that's the dream. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mecha_pope@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago (1 child) I want lemmy to become popular just so you can be quoted in news articles.
