I was on Reddit for ten years, about a million karma between a few accounts. The day Reddit Is Fun stopped working I had already deleted my accounts and all of that content earlier in the week. Google searches have brought me back for a few minutes but I'm out.
Lemmy will dethrone reddit once you are able to google a question and the Lemmy link is at the top as opposed to reddit
My search results keep wanting me to go to Reddit. I'm trying to avoid it, but it keeps calling.
I'm not scrolling there like I did before the "Spez killed the 3rd party app migration". I miss the level of engagement and ease of finding communities. Lemmy is decent, but the post volume is lacking. If I scroll new now, and again 12 hours later, there's not much new stuff before I see the stuff from last time.
im only lurking without an account from time to time
Only for the porn though xD

It's not the same.
I mean it's good and top quality. But there are just things that don't hit the same spot xD
It's actually pretty funny how many discussions about Reddit, Twitter, and Threads happening in the Fediverse.
I just deleted my Reddit account a few months ago (and my Twitter account years ago) and I don't think I miss anything.
I miss reddit every day. The niche communities were large enough there to have content.
I said I'd leave at the end of June if they went through with the API changes bc and I did. But of they reversed course today I'd absolutely go back instantly.
Nah, for me Reddit made me understand centralization in exchange for niche communities isn’t worth the trade offs that vom with it. I’d rather start new communities on Lemmy than going back to Reddit. I do miss r/rimjobsteve though
Well the last six months of reddit being down certainly hasn't solved the problem and the niche communities were much more lively back then too when everyone thought the place was going to keep growing.
I'm like... The only person posting in at least one of these niche comms. I honestly think the Fediverse is just going to burn out cause the only places that see traffic are news and meme communities but most of the memes are just Linux good windows bad memes (even though there's a specific place for that) and the world news is mostly (mis)information about the Israeli/Palestine conflict with dubious levels of quality.
Didnt knew there was a niche for Mass Effect memes
I still feel a strong pull towards r/worldnews.
c/world@lemmy.world is juuuust not quite as good,
content-wise.
edit:
[!world@lemmy.world](/c/world@lemmy.world)
Still new to lemmy, lol...
ah yes c/world@lemmy.world
also why are you typing in codeblocks
Look there is a peasant beneath us!
Failed to load Image :(😞
Yeah, our server sucks.... Sry broh
I left.
Congratulations.
Revanced let's you patch your own API key into old third party apps 🙈
IDK what you just said or what it means
There's an app which can change a Reddit client so Reddit thinks you're just another user with your own app.
They are just limiting you if you offer your unique ID to many other users, which essentially every app developer in any store does.
