Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
There’s one small community on Reddit that just doesn’t exist here. Well, it does, but there’s like 5 members lol. If it weren’t for that I’d jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I’ll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic…
I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn’t even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.
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.
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
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 got permabanned from reddit across all accounts including any new ones I make all because I decided to argue against racists. So I’m in it for the run with Lemmy.
I got permabanned from there once, I made a comment on anpost about the pedo leadsinger of the lostprophets saying something like " he deserves to die in the least humane way possible".
I appealed it by saying “Google him and tell me you don’t agree with me” 2 days later I was unbanned.
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 only use lemmy and 4chan as social media now
I gave at the office.
What is Reddit?
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
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
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.
Thank you.
It’s mostly a matter of getting over it in my own head.
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.
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
