Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.

Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot

the only content im missing is from 1001albumsgenerator subreddit because that was already a pretty small subreddit and theres no way itll get to that size on here. so i check every few days to see whats on there

I miss the content on Reddit for sure. There really isn't enough people on Lemmy to get that amount of niche topics. But if Lemmy bores me out too much I think I just won't try a different place. When I quit Reddit I promised I would try touching grass more often and I'll fully commit.

It's always the same thing, why is there no post aging ? Is there just not enough content ? Lemmy needs a better sorting algorithm with more options for control by the user. Something to control the aging value. Also automatically aggregate communities from several servers, like every /c/book community on the fediverse.

Haven't been back

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

There are a couple of subreddits that I still visit. My usage has dropped to a tiny fraction of what it used to be. In fact I think Reddit shitting the bed has been good for me overall as I'm spending a lot less time scrolling random shit.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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".

Most Reddit content is repost bots and stormfront.

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.

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

I am about to go back to reddit because Lemmy users suck as human beings. I can't believe the user base that was here before Reddit users think they are somehow fucking better.

They think they are alternative to an average person somehow. Constant posts about how they are different but after seeing a post of them comparing trans protesting to the extremism of the KKK and seeing the comments be full of people talking about how they are "middle people" they "stay on the fence" and are "different" because they don't believe in being extremist. I think I am done with this fucking place.
