Ask Lemmy

I still use reddit.

Lemmy is still missing a few things:

• Sports discussion. There's nothing quite like the absurdity of some of the sports communities that really brightens my day, from really deep analytical insights to the dumbest meme jokes in existence.
• City-specific local discussion. I still spend time on my city's subreddit, which helps keep me tuned in on local happenings.
• Non-tech related career discussion. My field (law) has several subreddits useful for talking shop, growing careers, making fun of shitty lawyers, etc. That doesn't really exist here.
• Hobby discussion. I'm trying my best to participate in fitness and weight lifting related subreddits but there just isn't a critical mass of commenters to get a discussion really going. Plenty of my other hobbies and interests are missing here, too.

I've deleted the reddit alts I used to use for technology related topics, parenting/relationship topics, political discussion, and stupid general purpose humor or memes, as Lemmy has enough of that I don't need Reddit for those topics. But for the ones I've listed above, I'm still using desktop "old" Reddit.

I'm also still on Instagram, but only follow people I know personally. It's the easiest way to keep up with my acquaintances' lives: who's marrying who, who's having kids, where people have moved, etc.
