I don’t remember what caused the Voat’s origin, except it involved Reddit HQ. And then it went under in 2020.

What’s different about this time and with Lemmy to make it a feasible alternative to Reddit? Is it random chance?

    It also helps that this wave of Lemmy’s new users are unified around some common centrist causes. Like not fucking up the user experience and not lying to its end users.

    Votes big influx of users happened when far right wing subreddits got shut down. That created a pretty toxic place.
