Asklemmy

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.

What is Reddit?

I only use lemmy and 4chan as social media now

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 gave at the office.

I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven't gone back.

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

i don't post on most reddit communities but we're sorely lacking a c/randomactsofblowjobs

Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don't crash.

I haven't logged in for a good long while. Occasionally I visit old discussions on there as a guest, though, just because it's where obscure stuff tends to gets discussed.

Yes (⌐■_■). I am gonna do completionist++.

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

This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.

RSS feeds (Feeder) for read-only mode of subreddits that don't exist here, and re-post to Lemmy if I want to discuss a specific topic that bad

100% since they killed Apollo but in general less of everything.

Hard to use reddit when your favourite reddit app no longer works

If i'm looking for something online and the only info is on some niche subreddit, then I go to reddit. Other than that, I pretty much just lurk here in the shadows, muttering to myself about vengeance and being the night

I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.

I'm not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.

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.

Stop talking about your ex

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).
