I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don't look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I'd go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

The Lemmy apps are fine, but I've been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It's too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It's unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.

Just block the meme communities and it makes this place a much more engaging site. There's obviously not the same level as reddit yet, but with time it will get there.

You can do the opposite too... Subscribe to the communities you like, and have that be your front-page. Then browse all when you're feeling freaky!

That's what I do, but they were mentioning that they wanted to browse all, but the memes were ruining it for them. I'm usually on all so I can keep an eye out for new communities to join
