Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
There’s one small community on Reddit that just doesn’t exist here. Well, it does, but there’s like 5 members lol. If it weren’t for that I’d jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I’ll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic…
I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn’t even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
It took years for Reddit to achieve mass appeal (remember Digg???). For now, Reddit is still far superior for niche communities, especially the knowledge base. I tried to be 100% Lemmy, but the need for highly technical specific information always drives me back to Reddit.
No and No.
I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.
Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.
I recently got booted off of Reddit and I’m hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn’t realized I had developed.
Good luck. It has certainly helped me.
Thank you.
It’s mostly a matter of getting over it in my own head.
I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.
So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.
I’m glad you’re here :) I’m trying to get better at noticing opportunities to post and contribute myself
Yeah, I hear you. I couldn’t find yet a replacement for YouTube. It has quite a lot of content there, for the good and the bad, but some are quite helpful
Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
Sorry for your loss
Reddits loss
Oh neat. Royalty.
?
I knew you from modding the other sub. I was just acknowledging it.
I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.
Me too!
Im very glad seeing more and more comments on any thread on lemmy. I kept using it and interacting with it for a whole year since the exodus, vowing to still use it even if it got slightly deserted because I believe in this project that isn’t mine. Im so happy you guys did as well. (Im just a user) I hope it will grow and that we will overcome the human tendency to pollute whatever space they’re in to finally call this home.
I still use other media though, i swear it was only one time baby!
I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit
100% since they killed Apollo but in general less of everything.
After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were
I only use lemmy and 4chan as social media now
