Asklemmy

it's weird not to have strangers insisting that they can base their arguments on hallucinations that they've had.

Given me a newfound distate for Linux users/evangelists. Like the vegans of the tech world

I miss the niche discussion because reddit is so damn big, but the drop in quality of posts when I lurk there is very noticeable. Enshittification ruined it.

Subscribed to all three of those and I'm looking forward to finding some new fun communities to be a part of, thank you!

It got me in my way to learning about decentralization and now I'm all over the small web stuff.

I just wish there was a way to delete my reddit profile comments easily. I log in every three months or so by accident usually.

I use it less, which is better for my mental health. I still find there are similarly depressing posts and attitudes here. People are nicer, but the breadth of topics is far more limited. I won't go back to reddit, but lemmy definitely doesn't hold a candle to the number of communities they have. I've been using Tumblr as well and quite enjoying that.

I deleted my Reddit account and have not gone back. That said, I’m not particularly fond of Lemmy either. I’ve found… maybe? two communities here of interest that may have migrated from Reddit and they aren’t even active; and even as a socialist, the politics are tiresome and pervasive.

Aside from fascists getting the smacking around that they deserve, the one thing that’s nice is that there are far fewer cringey “yay lemmy is the best isn’t it guys” circlejerk posts now than there were back then. I don’t spend nearly as much time on here as I did on Reddit, so that’s a plus.

Never posted pictures of my naked body online before Lemmy

i’m still a lurker, i post less, and im practically a ghost on here. i’m winning and loving it. reddit w/o the problems

I'm glad that Reddit gave me the push I needed to finally join the fediverse. I absolutely love the technology to the point I don't care so much about the content.

I still have my Reddit account but haven't logged in since the Rexodus began and the only reason I haven't deleted it yet is laziness.

Lemmy provides me with links to news I'm interested in, Linux information and memes whilst satisfying my scrolling itch.

Most of the political stuff that pops up isn't really my bag and some communities are too US centric for me but the beauty is you can just block the communities you don't like. Also, there isn't as much new content posted daily but it's much smaller and niche than Reddit so I'm happy for that trade off.

I now use the /S all the time just in case

I'm still a bit confused about the instances and the political alignment of people on certain instances. I'm on Lemmy.ml but apparently people can be quite toxic on that instance.

Having to subscribe to the same subject on different instances feels a bit weird. I always wonder what I'm missing out on.

It also seems like we're missing some critical mass but I'm over Reddit, that's the bottom line.

Lemmy is hyper Reddit without all the bloat. And not the good aspects of Reddit either
