@programming.devAgreed! For me right now what reddit has but Lemmy hasn't replaced is the local/certain kinds of obscure that was on Reddit.
As a practical example, there isn't a great soccer forum, much less my hometown team. There's gaming but my nerdy deep lore destiny 2 sub hasn't made it over here yet.
So far I've been getting by on news feeds and mastodon repost bots but I'm definitely missing some of the content from the old site. A natural response is to stand up my own, but being realistic most people just don't have time to run a community, create content for it, and enjoy it. Reddit had a model that allowed occasional interaction with regular consumption due to its huge scale. So far that's still not here.
Git was just released while I was in college, and I was in a group project that required us to use SVN. First job was a TFS shop. When git finally matured to the point that it couldn't be ignored anymore, life became much much more sane.
Joined on a project and the unsupervised junior devs had branches for each developer, even if they were working on the same features. They were copying and pasting each others code into their personal branches to stay up to date.
Spaghetti commits took a while to unwind.
My company finally went to a non expiring multi-word based policy. Took them a major breach but finally some sanity.
