I don't understand why people still want to use reddit instead of moving to Lemmy or Kbin (sh.itjust.works)

Most people aren't even thinking of moving to reddit alternatives. Users have a lot of power in this situation. Just move your community to Lemmy or Kbin. It's not that hard.

I strongly agree about the content on this site needing to not be about reddit. So much of my front page is news about reddit. And what's more it's so damn repetitive. Often the exact same stories posted over and over in half a dozen different instances because apparently everyone wants to create their own sub about the topic and doesn't want to say "oh, this is a duplicate, just go use so and so sub instead". And they get upvoted like crazy, too.

The posts often don't contain anything new, either. Sometimes they do, but so many posts are just another major news site covering the ongoing events. I think many people upvoted that because they like the idea of this getting more press.

Honestly, I get it. I am having a lot of schadenfreude at reddit cannibalizing itself. But at the same time, I only want to discuss that a bit. I want to see the site have a diverse amount of interesting content. And I have tried to practice what I'm preaching here. I don't upvote most reddit related threads anymore and I've posted a lot more than usual.
