why anyone is still on reddit is beyond me. it's so garbage at this point that it makes me angry any time I so much as see it referenced
Well let's be honest to our self, most content in lemmy are from Reddit.
So in the end we in the repost loop, 4chan > reddit > lemmy/Instagram/tiktok > Facebook > reddit > 4chan
The answer is simple: Even a single popular subreddit has more users and content than all Lemmy instances combined.
That 'mass migration' a year ago made Lemmy viable as a social network, but barely affected Reddit at all in terms of numbers, and numbers are all they care about.
I'm still here on Lemmy, but to the Vast majority of Reddit users, nothing has changed (at least not enough to leave the place where all their communities are)
Reddit comments are still useful in search results when you're looking for advice on a specialized topic, though often comments have been deleted in protest.
There are definitely a whole lot of people here who still frequent it or we would not keep seeing these posts. I’m with you: I don’t get it.
Incredible
Fuck Spez, but not proper fuck
