Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
100% since they killed Apollo but in general less of everything.
Hard to use reddit when your favourite reddit app no longer works
Yea sorry Boost doesn’t work for Lemmy anymore so…plus Lemmy is better and collectively smarter.
If i’m looking for something online and the only info is on some niche subreddit, then I go to reddit. Other than that, I pretty much just lurk here in the shadows, muttering to myself about vengeance and being the night
I can’t use Reddit. I got site banned.
Thought about clearing my browser data and going back with a clean email once my IP shifts, but it all seems like a bit of a pain.
Frankly, the fact I’m cut off probably bothers me more than anything I would actually use it for.
Stop talking about your ex
I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.
Me too!
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling
me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already
I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.
So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.
Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
Sorry for your loss
Oh neat. Royalty.
?
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.
always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%
Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org
Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn’t have any drama iirc.
Fediverse, Forums, or bust.
And if forums just add fediverse integration like discourse is already doing, just win-win
Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app
I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.
Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
