more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they’re already thriving. I’ll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.
in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community… ask those in /c/reddit instead
me too. But, since the API policy begins. Double posting, ad spamming, irrelevant contents, bots within several subs appears on my reddit home feeds and it is still in acceptable level though. if this reach more than that. I might leave reddit permanently.
Since the blackout, I only use reddit when it pops up in search results regarding a special problem. No “open reddit and scrolling” anymore. It would be stupid to 100% boycott it and make my life harder just because, but they don’t get more traffic from me than necessary.
Same with me. I’ve removed all the apps from my phone and I’ve moved to Lemmy for all my doom scrolling.

Fourth!
And no up/downvoting anything while there. I minimize my engagement as much as possible.
I’ve switched to Lemmy for random browsing of memes, pop culture, and tech news.
I’m hoping Lemmy will soon be large enough that major world news events will pop up there, too.
I still go to Reddit for just a couple of niche communities. Lemmy isn’t large enough for there to be active communities about every TV show and every hobby, yet. Looking forward to when we hit that size.
Also: no rush. We’re early adopters. Lemmy has gotten a LOT better in the last month, so I’m glad that everyone didn’t rush to join it right away. I’d rather that when small communities consider migrating, they can do so and have a great experience.
Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we’ll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will
Not related to shitposting, but I miss the gifs from Reddit.
Nothing. Haven’t logged on since subs went dark.
I still go on my city’s subreddit to get the latest news about my city.
There are probably specific communities that I’d miss, but the real answer is VOLUME. There’s still more content there.
Only the NSFW-Content.
Edit: Just learned about the existence of lemmynsfw.com. At the moment not compareable but its growing fast.
I mod an 11K sub that is apparently one of the preeminent spaces on the web to follow the latest news on it’s topic. I personally haven’t posted anything new there since the blackout–it’s all been posted here in the Fediverse instead–but I still check in to make sure they’re behaving themselves.
Not everyone and every community I like is here.
I’m immediately struck by the contradiction of asking this on Lemmy.
Historical questions and answers to common problems, it’ll take about a decade for Lemmy to catch up. I work in IT and it’s saved my ass quite a few times
And that’s assuming Lemmy acquires anywhere near the user base reddit had. Reddit just has so much useful information that doesn’t exist elsewhere yet and will for sure take years to come close to.
r/guitar, r/bass and r/trumpet mostly. The sheer amount of people in the communites just makes it better (shocking news I know)
The memes are better here tho
Jerboa is giving me network errors still
I’ve been using Liftoff and have really enjoyed it

Haha, classic:
Amazing.
For real it take like 5 tries to even open this comment section, no idea how to tell if its my lemmy.ml or the jebora app but just to try to just around here is exhausting.
Then the message doesn’t show as sent, it spins and looks like it never went through and people message 6 times
