Lemmy resembles the old reddit experience so well that they even emulate the old reddit server performance (lemmy.world)

Since all the instances are independent, it's going to be very difficult to recreate completely the experience of a corporate behemoth. But it's that independence which also give this platform true freedom and potential longevity, so the tradeoffs seem worth it. It should also be said that the load overall has gone up a lot since reddit just shut off the 3rd party apps officially, so we should see better results moving forward as things equalize after the rush.
