I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, β€œless it’s more”, so..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.

I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Use both.

Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically: -New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting

Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

already deleted my account, there is no going back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.

Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's been the harder thing to find on Lemmy. For stuff like retrocomputing or open source I imagine the fediverse will still be a strong contender, but I also like reddit for, like, obscure old games with a total remaining community of less than a hundred people, and that's one thing Reddit and Discord are still the champions of.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same except on lemmy I'm reformed and optimistic. I don't feel the need to go against the gain like I did on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think the deciding factor will be where content creators (people that post to some degree) go. Lurkers will follow them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I don't lie to myself,

I know I'm going to first go on Lemmy, scroll and comment and post Then if it gets boring or what seems to be the case where I see again and again the same post for 2 days in a row, then I'll go to Reddit to continue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Lol no. I'll still use if I need answers forma google search, but other than that, I'm out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I still have my reddit account, because I need to backup some stuff, might check it tomorrow, then delete it and focus on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible

I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.

Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.

One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then I’m fully out. I’ve already deleted posts.

I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Between the website and mlem, I believe Lemmy has a decent user experience so far. I’m only monitoring Reddit to see how bad they are doing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I’m a mod in a small handheld emulator community. I’m not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but we’ll see what they other guys do. As for me, I’ll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm here now. Reddit is just bots and repeat content. Most of it will find its way over here at some point. The stuff that stays? Eh, probably not worth it anyway.
