    Lemmy. Federation and the lack of a profit motive makes it much better.

    I would also rather be surrounded by leftist vs liberal drama, rather than liberal vs fascist drama.

      The latter is actually a good point. I had almost forgotten how constant and combative reddit was at times with the far-right peeps and incels and whatnot. At the time it had become so normal, one didn’t even think about it. Maybe offer alternative ideas (= argue) a while or just ignore, but now that you mention it, I don’t think there has been many situations like that here, for me at least. Not to say that the enlightened centrists aren’t very much the same in practice, and those I face here every now and then. They just aren’t nearly as bad in substance.

    I like Lemmy more. I visit 4 subs on Reddit, not daily. I think it doesn’t have to be an either/or necessarily. I refuse to use their app. Rip baconreader.

    Reddit definitely has more users and more communities that don’t exist here but I prefer lemmy because no ads and no corporation trying to sell my data

    Lemmy.

    I do prefer the size of Reddit, but I am continuing the API changes protest. Sup, that’s it. If they reverse it, I might return, although the UI has changed again. Wouldn’t mean I’d leave Lemmy, just use both.
    I haven’t actually used it with 3rd party apps, I used to do the same as I am doing right now, desktop website on my phone, but I do support the protests and I am not giving up after 2 days.

    I prefer lemmy but miss the niche communities. The Swedish national community for instance, roleplaying communities, niche game communities etc.

      Same. The thing lacking is user base and content. Also a backlog of older content as knowledge source, but that would come overtime with through the former.

      As far as usability goes Iemmy is just as good as reddit was for me. My instance (lemme.ee) is stable and the app experience (currently “connect”) is just as smooth as it was for reddit (where I used “relay”).

      I sadly have to admit that I don’t contribute enough in terms of creating and posting threads.

    I prefer Lemmy, but unfortunately it is missing a lot of the communities I liked on Reddit, and there doesn’t seem to be as much content. When I’m looking for information on a specific topic I’ll still check out Reddit but I haven’t logged in since the Reddit drama and don’t plan to. I do hope Lemmy gets bigger, though.

    Reddit by far was a better experience; more content, better moderation, less negativity.

    I’m still here on Lemmy, though, in hope of it getting better (and it definitely scratches the same itch as Reddit without the corporate arrogance).

    That said, even though it annoys me, I do find myself getting exposed to a wider array of opinions on Lemmy that I just never saw on Reddit. And while I disagree with a lot of it it’s probably healthier for things to be that way. The tankies, though … so many tankies.

    Honestly, I root for lemmy and use it daily. However, Reddit still wins on pure content and niche communities.

          Imgur was bought out and they nuked all the top all time photos and gifs, I call that the start of the downfall.

            All the communities still appear to be very active though.

              Didn’t you know if someone doesn’t find anything new in their niche kink fetish content anymore, then “Reddit is dying”? Same with niche forums with about 100 users. No more posts?

              REDDIT IS DYING

    Honestly, at this point I kinda prefer to go on Reddit. I’m getting tired of all the tech/FOSS talk and there’s so much doom and gloom on here it just bums me out.
