Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Today is my 5th day in the fediverse and I like it! In the beginning there were some troubles regarding the registration, but it all worked out (I was not able to create an account with Firefox. After I switched to Opera, it worked). Also there are some issues with the auto-update of the feed. It suddenly starts scrolling and doesn't stop until I hit the refresh button in the browser. As far as I understand, this bug will be fixed soon.

While being here for the last couple of days, I realised, how cluttered Reddit has become. Take r/askreddit for instance: There are so many very similar-to-another questions over there, I now wonder, if they have been created by bots. This applies to other subreddits as well.

Browsing here and interacting with other users feels refreshing! It is like the early Reddit, when it was more community-focused instead of what it has become now, riddled with ads, bots and NFTs. I also like that there is no such thing as karma here.

I certainly will visit reddit in the future, but I'm going stay with the fediverse. There is so much to discover!
