Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.
I recently got booted off of Reddit and I’m hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn’t realized I had developed.
Good luck. It has certainly helped me.
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
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…
I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
You could make one and then post it to both communities.
If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.
If there’s a community here for something and it’s active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.
100% of what?
Yes, since I don’t have a Reddit account
Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
Depends if the community came over here with me or not.
Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad
Find stuff and post it here. Our memes comrade.
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
I thought we were lemmings 😥
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the reddit is on an old thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.
So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.
Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
Oh neat. Royalty.
?
I knew you from modding the other sub. I was just acknowledging it.
Sorry for your loss
Reddits loss
Yeah, I hear you. I couldn’t find yet a replacement for YouTube. It has quite a lot of content there, for the good and the bad, but some are quite helpful
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
