Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there
100% of what?
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.
I haven’t contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.
I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.
Fediverse, Forums, or bust.
Damn, the future is rad.
Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.
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
Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
Oh neat. Royalty.
I knew you from modding the other sub. I was just acknowledging it.
Sorry for your loss
Reddits loss
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.
Me too!
slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.
always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%
Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org
Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn’t have any drama iirc.
uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling
me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already
Hard to use reddit when your favourite reddit app no longer works
I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.
I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.
Reddit sucks the butt. And you can quote me on that.

Yea sorry Boost doesn’t work for Lemmy anymore so…plus Lemmy is better and collectively smarter.
Stop talking about your ex
