5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.

Reddit is still better for communities based around hobbies (at the moment at least) just due to it's shear size.

I find discord servers are filling that in much better for me

I'm probably behind the times. How do you find stuff on discord?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Idk why ppl can't just Google it get the info and leave.

Not that complicated. No one is forcing you to join.

Agree, hate to admit I sometimes still go there (no login) to check certain communities because they are completely dead on Lemmy.

Look at the actual engagement on those hobby subreddits. Dont let the thousands of followers fool you. The big subreddits got bigger, but the smaller ones got smaller. I see niche groups with thousands of followers, but posts rarely break 100 upvotes/10 comments. Reddit is a hollowing shell right now.

I saw a post about Kids In The Hall on this site the other day. Go see how popular that is on reddit. You just gotta believe.

That's actually a really good point.
