Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on 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.
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling
me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already
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.
I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there
