Wooo! Finally got my account working and left my very active, high-karma, 7 year old account where I was active as a freelance bot bounty hunter, so I’m also taking my freelance bot-squashing away.
I was in a couple of subs* there for like a week after Apollo died because of the learning curve, and now I’m 100% Lemmy and haven’t even checked reddit for a week.
I was actually a customer in addition to a user and cancelled my premium account on Reddit too. As a software UXD and old-school developer on everything from Acorn, Commodore, Intellivision, Basic, but of assembly, VB, Perl, C versions through ++ and #, all the horrid Java incarnations, sql/oracle, and now web, enterprise, unity, and enough deep dives into Reddit’s GitHub to learn its a clusterfuck in there…
I’m done with them. This isn’t something you push a fix for. It’s something you fire your entire executive team over or just give up and let the bots have it. That’s where they are, I think.
I left Reddit after 15 years active. Refuse to go back. Is there any way to see if traffic over there has dropped? I’m still trying to figure this Lemmy thing out, is there a way to just see the most popular communities in a list I can just join? I’m manually searching for communities and randomly joining. Thanks!
I've dubbed to s Reddit Lemmy. I get some updates from there. There has been a drop, but not like, 50% of users or anything like that. I think they bigger issue they were having is that the protests are hurting.
how big is the drop though? I've stopped using reddit but I can't imagine that a large enough group shares the same sentiment.
I’m mainly there to check out the Lemmy and Reddit alternatives subs.
It appears to be only about 5%. There is growth again, but how much is bots is the question. There seemed to be high volumes of new bots trying to follow active users there around the time of the blackouts.
I have to wonder how aware the average user is that there has been a successful middle here.
There seem to be some low level brigading against all alternatives. I’m not convinced that the majority of the ‘no good apps, Lemmy is hard, communities too small’ posts there are authentic. Some are from low karma accounts, and don’t seem to actually want to take suggestions or assistance to resolve their issues.
I’m also finding there is low tolerance on many subs for commenting that Reddit alternatives exist or that discussions are happening elsewhere.
At this point, I suspect that it will be commercial media attention on Lemmy’s growth that will be the main way that the average Redditer becomes aware that Lemmy is a functioning alternative. Reviews in tech magazines will come, but references in mainstream business and tech news will increase with Lemmy’s footprint.
My very favorite way right now is to scroll the All feed sorted by Hot. Then if anything is good I click in and subscribe, if it's annoying or in German then you can block the community (no hate, just don't speak it)
I’m also new here. I’ve seen this site mentioned a few times. https://lemmyverse.net/communities though I’ve been doing the “look at community name, click, click subscribe” on the all feed for a few days now instead.
I’m in this image and I like it.
