Honestly I'm engaging more on lemmy in comments but if you manage to create a nice list of fun subs to follow on reddit a lot of complaints about bots and stuff are less problematic. Then again I also follow some Dutch subs and they seem to have less bots with the language barrier and all.

Lemmy does seem to be more negative though. A lot of doom and gloom here. I'm not really into Linux but I'll admit that windows and Microsoft ain't great. However the amount of complaining about how shit Microsoft is on stead of being enthusiastic about Linux baffles me. And you see these things in other communities too. The reddit helldivers community seems to be a bunch of memes and the lemmy oke a bunch of complaints.

Then again my comments seem to actually reach people on Lemmy so I am more active here.

Lemmy is better, but the communities I care the most about and want to give the most to aren't on lemmy, so I don't really have the luxury of using it quite as much as I'd like. I do like it here, though

[–] anas@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Still stuck between both, but when I’m on reddit I’m using a sideloaded version of Apollo with my own API key while logged out, so theoretically they can’t actually collect any data.

Reddit is obviously more active, even though a huge chunk of that activity is bots, but I like it here better. My only complaint is that my home page is weird sometimes and doesn’t show posts newer than a day or two.

Lemmy, reddit is more active and has more content but Lemmy will get there. The front page is awful now. It's full of ads and suggested crap. I subscribed to things for a reason. I liked seeing posts I cared about. This shoving content down my throat approach curiously made me get off the site sooner.

lemmy doesn't have spez, so lemmy is better.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

Reddit for sure. But I absolutely refuse to use their app so I use it in the web browser but not a lot because reddit sucks on mobile. So I mostly use Lemmy on my phone.

On desktop I use both.

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Reddit definitely has more users and more communities that don't exist here but I prefer lemmy because no ads and no corporation trying to sell my data

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

Only lemmy. I visit reddit maybe once a week now

Lemmy by fucking MILES.

  • no ads
  • no enshittificafion
  • federated ecosystem
  • OSS
  • self-hostable
  • no aggregate karma (so karma farming/selling is completely meaningless)
  • userbase genuinely feels a lot less dumb
  • loads of other things that I’m forgetting/too lazy to fully enumerate right now

lemmy, but I still check reddit after I'm done here

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 4 points 5 months ago

I deleted 2 Reddit account with over 10M combined karma during the shit show last year. Have never gone back. Lemmy is a million times better, even if I'm missing some of my local communities.

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 4 points 5 months ago

Is this a trick question

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Lemmy, overall. There are things I miss from Reddit but whenever I browse it now it's just so full of advertising.

[–] Panda@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago

I prefer Lemmy, but unfortunately it is missing a lot of the communities I liked on Reddit, and there doesn't seem to be as much content. When I'm looking for information on a specific topic I'll still check out Reddit but I haven't logged in since the Reddit drama and don't plan to. I do hope Lemmy gets bigger, though.

[–] Sparkles@fedia.io 3 points 5 months ago

I like Lemmy more. I visit 4 subs on Reddit, not daily. I think it doesn’t have to be an either/or necessarily. I refuse to use their app. Rip baconreader.

[–] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 months ago

Lemmy for good content and discussion. Reddit still has niche fan communities that will probably never migrate over here, but I can always hope.

[–] FriedRice@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Reddit was realy god in my local areal, so thats what immissinhg. Lemmy,isnt just there yet. Not many from my area. So yir i like Lemmy for the lack of adds, and for notsellinhg my data

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Doesnt matter reddit kicked me out, so...

[–] loki@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Best of both worlds.

[–] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Lemmy, teddit and libreddit

~~Are you serious? We're on Lemmy.~~

Definitely Reddit.
