more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they’re already thriving. I’ll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.
in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community… ask those in /c/reddit instead
Since the blackout, I only use reddit when it pops up in search results regarding a special problem. No “open reddit and scrolling” anymore. It would be stupid to 100% boycott it and make my life harder just because, but they don’t get more traffic from me than necessary.
Same with me. I’ve removed all the apps from my phone and I’ve moved to Lemmy for all my doom scrolling.
I’ve switched to Lemmy for random browsing of memes, pop culture, and tech news.
I’m hoping Lemmy will soon be large enough that major world news events will pop up there, too.
I still go to Reddit for just a couple of niche communities. Lemmy isn’t large enough for there to be active communities about every TV show and every hobby, yet. Looking forward to when we hit that size.
Also: no rush. We’re early adopters. Lemmy has gotten a LOT better in the last month, so I’m glad that everyone didn’t rush to join it right away. I’d rather that when small communities consider migrating, they can do so and have a great experience.
Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we’ll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will
There are probably specific communities that I’d miss, but the real answer is VOLUME. There’s still more content there.
