To be fair Lemmy feels like a brand new mall of stores with empty shelves.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=EiZhdpLXZ8Q&
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

This is two months old and a report about the exodus that’s already happened.
Reddit didn’t die, it probably won’t anytime soon.
I think inevitably Reddit’s utter collapse will be power mods causing intense drama as well the mods who are actually capable of curating content properly having left. I was surprised no hate subs spawned from the migration away from reddit, but I realized something. The people who would likely moderate hate subs now moderate the mainstream subs. Shit is going to hit the fan.
I think the next time the owners do something stupid there will be a similar exodus, and there will already be larger alternative communities available than there were last time and more people will leave and stay left. I think it could also happen the same way more than twice.
