Let Lemmy grow. Growth and low effort pun threads is not what killed reddit. Corporate interference and shit stirring controversy spewing algorithms in the name of “user engagement” is what drove reddit down the drain.

What happens to your account on a federated server if that one fails though?

Relay was my go to app also, something about the flow of the app UI always appealed to me more than any other apps. So much so, I continued using it even after I found the paid app included trackers (these can be blocked with Warden, a rare app scanner you can find on github).

However even if I wanted to stay on reddit I don’t think I’d pay a monthly subscription.

Reddit really should be paying users, not the other way around. They steal our data for free and seek to profit from it.
