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?

    Yea, I was really sad when my then-current provider did not offer Usenet access.

    Actually, being able to group or sort instances hierarchically like rec.books.whatever might be helpful in organizing all these discussions. Currently this feels like alt.everything. When lemmy grows further, this maght become even more confusing.

      I also missed Usenet, and my provider has not offered usenet access for a long time. So I created an account at individual.net. Text-only groups, but this is what i want. Worth every penny.
