Not gonna lie ... I felt this for some reason (maybe I can be too sentimental about things!).

Me too. I connect a lot of memories with reddit. I found out about so many things, found such cool communities and learned a lot. And it was entertaining too, all the time. But it's time to move on and make these same experiences on a new platform, owned by the people. I'm kinda sad, but also excited for it.

It was good at the very start, but not much longer after that.

Second panel could also be "Was I a link aggregator?" Because it's hardly that anymore.
It hasn't been that since it got self-posts and comments in 2006; it's a forum.
Lemmy and kbin are also forum software and should embrace being good at that.
This might count as embracing ... an official alternative old-school forum front-end to lemmy (running on a separate instance): https://fedibb.ml/
It's specifically a forum with branching threads, popularity scoring, and topic-oriented communities that ordinary users can create and moderate. That's the successful formula.
Lemmy is missing that last feature. I hope that's merely because it's not implemented yet and not the result of an intentional design decision.
