    Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked

    It took years for Reddit to achieve mass appeal (remember Digg???). For now, Reddit is still far superior for niche communities, especially the knowledge base. I tried to be 100% Lemmy, but the need for highly technical specific information always drives me back to Reddit.

      After Apollo went down, made me realize how much unnecessary screen time I was wasting my life on. The smaller size and scope of the fediverse is probably better for my mental health than Twitter/Reddit were

    I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn’t even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.

    I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit

    There’s one small community on Reddit that just doesn’t exist here. Well, it does, but there’s like 5 members lol. If it weren’t for that I’d jump ship entirely. I am thinking maybe I’ll find a separate specific forum just for that one topic…

    No and No.

    I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.

      I browse Reddit anonymously nowadays on a web browser. I still absolutely hate the experience. It lags way too much, videos suddenly become “no longer available”, spend enough time and it will yell at you again for getting the app as if it didn’t when you first opened the site (at least it’s not as insistive as Instagram, an even worse website), that new logo reeks of Discord and Android having a baby, and not to mention, comments with a negative karma score are automatically hidden for whatever reason.

      I only continue browsing that site to catch up with some communities with no real equivalent on Lemmy.

    Im very glad seeing more and more comments on any thread on lemmy. I kept using it and interacting with it for a whole year since the exodus, vowing to still use it even if it got slightly deserted because I believe in this project that isn’t mine. Im so happy you guys did as well. (Im just a user) I hope it will grow and that we will overcome the human tendency to pollute whatever space they’re in to finally call this home.

    I still use other media though, i swear it was only one time baby!

    If i’m looking for something online and the only info is on some niche subreddit, then I go to reddit. Other than that, I pretty much just lurk here in the shadows, muttering to myself about vengeance and being the night
