Asklemmy

I logged into reddit the other day, and it was worse than lemmy for content.

I did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.

I deleted my 14 year old reddit account when they pulled their shit. Then I recently created a new account because I need to be able to get answers to specific programming questions sometimes, and lemmy doesn't have the population of users that reddit still has. I generally post on both lemmy and reddit, but I almost always get more answers on reddit.

These types of posts feel like they need a density of users to emerge and lemmy might just not have hit that tipping point yet. I have see it in non-reddit niche forums and I think it will just take some time.

When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.

I think the main search engines redirect a lot of traffic to R. Not sure why, but its apparant.

DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first

No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.

I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire

I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.

Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.

lately I read some post after googling for howtos but without logging it, blocking trackers and ads as always; I go there only if it's the only resource I find

No. With a Lemmy account, and some careful bookmarks, I am fully entertained here.

There is one short story author on Reddit I like to follow. Likely to follow them on another site instead.

OP, make some more recommendations for communities you want to see. Ask instance admins for help grtting those communities to start being active. And crosspost them to "discovery" boards.

I am sorta having this issue - some boards I like don't wanna have deep discussions, and I do. I'm like, so lame, if you tell me to watch a show or read a book to come back and discuss, you're probably doing me a favor.

Nah

Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".

I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.

Yeah. 99% of the time, I can use Lemmy for everything I used to use Reddit for, but if I miss a goal in the games of my favourite football club, I still turn to r/soccer to watch the replay before the disgustingly overzealous Premier League lawyers pounce..

I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.

Yes. I also quit R after all the bs. There a hole in my internet heart and nothing to fill it with

No. Reddit was trash, there really is good content here, so why go back to the trash?

Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.

if for some reason you were looking for uselessserver093 were on lemmy,kbin and fling up
