Asklemmy

There is occasionally a comment that turns up in the search engines that is absolutely project-saving. Lemmy is not at that point yet.

I read the local sub but no posting. There's also one or two nsfw subs i still check for updates but also no posting

Only Corn

Korn, Lemmy still not diverse enough for that

Close to nothing, at this point. Sometimes I search for answers to technical questions and find them on Reddit, but that's about it.

Using redlib to lurk on a handful of niche subs. Mostly as inspiration for my hobbies. Chief among them was r/thinkpad, but I've since weaned off them as they seem to be developing a phobia or even contempt for my favorite old ThinkPads. Yes, they're over a decade old and not for everyone, but that doesn't mean they belong in the e-waste pile. Or maybe they do so I can come pick them up.

It's also still home to many helpful support threads and tutorials, unfortunately.

i only use it for some videos at this point

I really enjoy lemmy much more, reading comments here and stuff, i feel much better since i started using lemmy instead of reddit. and like i did not even comment on reddit for years but i started doing that again here because it feels okay doing

I'm afraid I'm still on reddit quite a bit. Most communities have a lot more activity there. Rust, nixos, luthiery, local and state level subreddits. r/fiddle, and other instrument subreddits have more activity.

That said theres a lot of chaff that I wouldn't miss. r/sysadmins is all removed about corporate work, r/machinists the same but blue collar. r/hiking is all shoe posts and gear. Political subreddits have lots of activity but its 90% rage farming.

Technical communities are strong on lemmy, despite their smaller size. And its refreshing to read the super far left diatribes, I don't get that stuff elsewhere.

I don't use it at all directly, but occasionally an answer generated on Reddit will pop up on a search I'm doing on a different site

If a search links to it, it will be years old and might have some information but I immediately see the reason I don't use it anymore with ads/suggested subs. And sometimes porn.

Reddit is just completely impossible to use these days. Even just trying to find answers to stuff in there you just get "you've been blocked by network security" 90% of the time. Shit's dead to me.

Mostly for reminding myself why I no longer use reddit.

Also occasional tech support issues via DuckDuckGo searches

Watching MMA is one of my only hobbies, so I frequent the subreddit and minimize my involvement. To my knowledge there's no lemmy community for MMA, and right now I'm not interested in modding one.

Deleted my account, so nothing.

Not much. There are some tech communities that I still monitor there to keep up with the general public. and then i check my local city subreddit sometimes.

But mostly use rss, and then lurk lemmy.

Only thing I use it for is when it comes up as an answer to a question I search for on duckduckgo and I also just occasionally scroll through subs I used to frequent just wondering what's going on there now

I’m trying to quit, again

I’m all in.

Making fun of it, mostly.
