    Mostly for memes about beans.

    Uh but for real because reddit quite literally sold out and went full corpo.

        I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

        The reddit community has been reduced to a mob of slobbering children and bots though, so I’m not on there nearly as much. I also avoid contributing because I want to see it slowly die out. Sadly it is still the only source for some information.

          I’m using Sync for lemmy and another Sync for reddit thanks to ReVanced.

          I used to do this, effectively it confused my brain of which platform I was at at the moment lol.

          Anyway not anymore since Sync for Lemmy is so busted to me in my instance (not even showing upvotes for example) and the dev has been absent for so long that I am already using another app (my personal favorites are Summit, Voyager and Boost).

    I was here before the Reddit API kerfuffle, because I care about an open and decentralized internet.

      Same! I was hoping for a while that there would be a fediverse version of reddit. And it’s succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. Other than the misinformation, but I suppose that’s a problem everywhere.

    For an actual community. I was tired of Discord and Reddit.

    I was in F-droid searching for stuffs, then I found lemmy, since my phone can’t install reddit cause I have storage problems, I tried out lemmy. And now I believe this is better than any community apps.

    just lemmy or the federation? im on mbin and I left with the big reddit migration and was pleasantly surprised to find something a bit closer to the old internet I knew. Im one of the few who don’t see the need for it to get popular but its fine to me if it does.

    It started with a distaste for how Reddit was treating developers and moderators, but now I genuinely believe in the future of the fediverse.

    Reddit killed third party apps and their mobile site barely functions, so I wasn’t able to use reddit on mobile without installing spyware/adware.
    Lemmy was the best alternative.
