Ask Lemmy

If everyone from Reddit just went over to lemmy.world and sh.it.just.works instead of making accounts all over the fediverse and maybe even hosting their own instance, then we’d just have the same problems that we did with Reddit, just at a different domain.

The fediverse will grow in due time. But thinking of it in terms of supplanting Reddit, or replacing twitter isn’t a good mindset. Decentralized social media and activitypub are tools to build better experiences, not replace the enshittified entrenched ones.

When you say everyone, actually you don't mean everyone, so your post really doesn't mean much, now does it.

I still go back to Reddit for answers because even when you have to search through often contradictory comments, it's better than Google's AI slop and sponsored results.

And is Lemmy searchable yet? That's a huge factor. People can search for old Reddit posts, but it's nigh impossible to find something specific on Lemmy unless you know what community it's in.

Not on reddit any longer, but I've got weird problems here. Suddenly I can no longer edit my own posts, not even in another browser, and as of today I can not longer save posts. For whatever reason, lemmy.nsfw no longer loads pics. No idea WTF is going on, but odd technical issues will turn away the masses. I'm fine with that.

I’d rather they didn’t. Normies flooding Reddit is what lead to its enshitification

They like getting data farmed . Seriously though, Reddit became what Digg was after going public. It attracted a lot of people who don't know the old Reddit and so they don't know how the mods are strangling it.

One day enough of them will get banned and end up here- shifting the network scale.
