Ya, I’m not going back, I wrestled with deleting my content or not for weeks. Decided last night to wipe my history and today I deleted my 12yo account.
Good riddance, not gonna browse in any fashion logged in or not. No clicks from me.
I discovered top and think top/day is good for any of the subscriptions, local or all. At least compared to active/hot
I installed Jerboa earlier today and it is decent. And as I said I’m giving this a real try. I feel like all this place needs is people!
Ive spent 98% of my time here in Lemmy vs. 2% since last night. I’m not deleting my reddit account just yet, but, overall like what I am seeing here. I’m also just trying to figure everything out here.
There are issues/worries about what happens when an instance goes away, where’s that content go? Duplicate/fragmented communities on multiple instances.
I’m more worried about losing the CONTENT that we created on Reddit, etc as a historic/research tool if reddit fails completely. Lot of content with people helping others.
I see/saw a lot of talk about wiping your data before leaving… I’m sure if that happened in larg volumes, they have backups of that content. No idea what legal ramifications there are with restoring them though.
I’m in a wait and see, but w/o RIF I’m gonna be hard pressed to use reddit on my phone, and if old. Goes away that might end it for me.
Correct, and unfortunately it will fragment those users into silos I believe. I saw in one of the stickies, for new users to search for communities before creating duplicates.
I figured out how to subscribe to communities, but not sure how this works. Like I wonder if when a community is created if it propagates to the federation, or if you can have multiple “XYZ” communities.
On a whim tonight I just went to https://join-lemmy.org/ from a reddit post, looked at the list of servers, found lemmy.world accepting logins, created an account, and here I am. Was super painless/fast. BUT, now to figure out how to sub to communities and setup my feed!
sorry, I don’t log into my .world account often. I used a script that was floating around during the original drama. I’m not sure if it’s still possible to effectively delete all your data now.
