The communities are a lot smaller as is to be expected, but it feels really good compared to Reddit. People are active enough and the overall design is so much less cluttered.
Although the bar is pretty low, given that half the Reddit app is just ads.
My guess is someone who really, really, really wants you to see the advertisements. With a little bit of content on the side.
The problem is that Reddit Shorts is something I could ABSOLUTELY see happening in the near future
RPAN or something like that. I don’t know why I would go to Reddit for livestreams. I certainly wouldn’t come to Lemmy for it, either.
