We’ve had plenty of questions about what people miss from reddit that Lemmy had, or what they hope doesn’t come to Lemmy from reddit in future, but do you miss from the earlier days, before reddit that you would like to come back?

    IRC and eggdrops, or the equivalent. Okay so we spent half our time netsplit and pinging each other forlornly across gaps but you could do really worthwhile things with those basic tools, and most things were very portable across providers so you could straightforwardly move the whole kit and caboodle if a reason to do so arose, and you could self-host. I appreciate that this is probably more a commentary on slack/discord than forum culture, though.
