I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?
I’m logged in on my laptop but not my desktop. I’ll doomscroll occasionally and feel a bit bad about it.
Anytime I try to upvote or comment there’s a 25-50% chance it’ll error out so I’m not in much of a hurry to go back.No. I use a combination of Mastodon, Lemmy, Bluesky, and Piefed. I refuse to even go back to that Trump Nazi run place.
I do highly recommend upvoting everything you can and if you see a missing group on Lemmy you can always create it.
I would feel okay i think. I only use it when it ends up in my search engine answers, and i think it’s okay, it has both a larger userbase and older history, so for niche subjects and specific questions it makes sense to use it.
But if you feel bad about it, maybe consider creating the communities you would like to see on Lemmy, as others said ! It may be not as hard and time consuming as you think, especially if you find some people to help you or even to entirely transfer the moderation part.
I don’t have so high moral stance to feel bad about using reddit.
Never used Reddit, but I felt bad enough about using that one site that’s owned by a neo Nazi that I nuked my account.
Not even remotely feel bad. I stick to old and run an adblocker. I only use it for sysadmin as it helps with my work.
People still use shitter. Because “all the people they know are there” and “they have porn”. I swear people will still browse Twitter on their bus to concentration camps.
I mod a few larger subs I don’t wish to leave (one I’ve brought here). I also participate in a work related sub. I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy lately though.
But yeah, I don’t really like Reddit I’m just there because not all of my stuff has made it here yet.
Bad, no, bored, yes. I generally just keep up with some web comics on there but as they at least move to BlueSky, that’s less an issue. Plus the quality has dropped. I don’t expect them to come to Lemmy, even if we do have a couple of good, very-Lemmy oriented comic artists.
I got banned and any new account I try to make gets shadow-banned. As far as I can tell, my offense was calling Elon Musk a Nazi when he did his Nazi salute during the inauguration. A mod warned me to not call him a Nazi because the ADL said it wasn’t a Nazi salute. Then a few days later he gave a speech for AfD in Germany and I commented “Still think he’s not a Nazi?” Next thing I know, I was banned forever.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Stop signing up with the same email address and you won’t get shadow banned. Your email address is literally the only way they track you. Once I realized this, any new accounts I made with a fake email work just fine.
They track cookies too.
I never store cookies so that might be why I was able to create a new account just fine.
I’ve never used the same email account. I go to one of those websites that let you create a temporary email address and use that whenever I sign up for a new account. Not just for Reddit, but for most sites. I was very annoyed Lemmy wouldn’t let me create an account with a temp email address.
As another person pointed out, they track cookies too. I never save cookies, which is probably why I was able to create a new account just fine.
no? it’s just an app
Sometimes you have to go where the people are.
I’ve found more people in my local area are on ig. Not on reddit, so it’s easy in my local area. But it’s one company for another.
No. If the info is there then that’s where I’m going
Lurking is ok if you wash your hands afterwards 😉
The only reddit community I’ve yet to find a home for on Lemmy is /r/fountainpens. I don’t post there though. As a lefty getting into underwriting and fountain pens was really good for my penmanship. This in turn was good for my journaling and mental health. I don’t feel bad about it.
IRRC there was a Lemmy channel for it but it was really small.
Fountainpens is one of the view i occasionally lurk by, niche things are really hard to port over i fear
