I mainly hop on there to check my news/politics multireddit. Hoping we get a similar functionality on here soon. It also helps that my reddit app (Relay) still has API access, and by opening an nsfw subreddit I now have nsfw content from the API again as well.
i left reddit at least 5 years ago
The well-curated libraries of gentlemen’s special-interest literature
Tell us the sacred numbers!
Infinity for Reddit still works. Once it stops, Reddit will become a site I may only visit on my desktop, which is not a common event.
Unfortunately only content. I spent some time subscribing to similar Lemmy communities that I had on Reddit and many of them just don’t have the content yet and I can’t exactly generate it alone.
You could make the absolute best software platform (not saying Lemmy is it, it’s somewhat buggy), but if people don’t adopt it, it won’t succeed.
The “winner” is often not the best platform either. WhatsApp is popular but kinda shit, same for Instagram, Tiktok etc. Threads might win over Mastodon for a Twitter replacement, just because it comes from a huge entity like Meta and people can use their existing accounts.
Unlike Twitter, Reddit has not yet fallen off the deep end where using it on e.g old Reddit on desktop computer is a terrible experience. I think the upcoming months will show if replacing mods etc ends up biting it in the ass.
With Boost finally closing, I am without Reddit on my phone. I’ll have to see if losing the “let’s browse Reddit a bit on my phone because I’m bored” option does good things for my mental health and daily life overall.
r/guitar, r/bass and r/trumpet mostly. The sheer amount of people in the communites just makes it better (shocking news I know)
The memes are better here tho
r/php basically, there’s nowhere else (AFAIK) to have a good conversation about php that is not just asking for help. But I use it only on my PC and not on an app (I’m not installing that spyware), so I don’t spend much time there.
I got permabanned so nothing
I promised a couple subs I mod to stay on until they find replacement mods. After browsing lemmy, the interface is downright aggravating, though.
Try this. It might look a little familiar https://mlmym.org/midwest.social/
Niche communities like Quake Champions and city-specific subs
Nothing eheh
Not much other than r/personalfinance, r/NFL, r/goodmythicalmorning, r/thatlookedexpensive, r/photoshopbattles, r/animalsbeingbros and my city’s subreddit. We have similar ones here, but they’re mostly inactive
Nothing. I keep the BaconReader app so that when I click on it and nothing loads, I know there is nothing for me there.
I do exactly the same thing! I think its a good strategy. I’ve acidentally opened baconreader a handful of times just from muscle memory and its only been a couple of days.
Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we’ll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will
Not related to shitposting, but I miss the gifs from Reddit.
Since the blackout, I only use reddit when it pops up in search results regarding a special problem. No “open reddit and scrolling” anymore. It would be stupid to 100% boycott it and make my life harder just because, but they don’t get more traffic from me than necessary.
And no up/downvoting anything while there. I minimize my engagement as much as possible.
Same with me. I’ve removed all the apps from my phone and I’ve moved to Lemmy for all my doom scrolling.
I third this
Fourth!
