I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.
That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.
I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.
I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn't post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became "Oh, it's because x and y" to "Oh god you're so fucking stupid it's obviously Z".
And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can't even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.
Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I've never been more active on any other platform.
I feel like the key to all those places that get bad for general use but still has use is moving to access through unofficial means without bothering with any accounts, and taking interacting completely out of the equation. Like Twitter for example just setting up a RSS with nitter.net or Fritter app. So you get nothing beyond what you specifically want. No algorithms suggesting random unrelated stuff to you. And there's extra benefit of not providing extra telemetry either by using official means.

How much does it cost to game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park? Entrance costs during Queen Elizabeth National Park safaris. One example of Uganda's dedication to environmental preservation is Queen Elizabeth National Park. It is the second-largest national park in the country and spans four districts in the western region: Kasese, Rukungiri, Rubirizi, and Kamwenge. It is widely recognized as one of the most biodiverse reserves in Africa due to its vast landscapes and diverse ecosystems.
Safaris in Queen Elizabeth National Park is unlike in any other park in Africa, with its stunning scenery that includes verdant hills, crater lakes, woodlands, wetlands, savannahs, the famous Kazinga Channel, and a stunning panorama of the Rwenzori mountains.
There are two main seasons in the park's tropical climate: the rainy and the dry. About 18 to 28oC (64 to 82oF) is the typical temperature range in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Warmer temperatures and less precipitation characterize the dry seasons, which normally span the months of December through February and June through August. On the other hand, March–May and September–November are the wet seasons, when heavier rainfall is typical. In these months, the park's landscapes are at their most verdant and colorful, making it the perfect time to see animals. Between 800 and 1,000 millimeters of rain falls each year on average.
An astonishing assortment of fauna, including over 600 bird species and 95 mammal species, may be found inside its limits. The world-renowned tree-climbing lions are among its most recognizable inhabitants; their extraordinary antics draw sightseers from all over the world. Elephants, buffalo, leopards, waterbucks, Uganda kobs, and countless more interesting wild animals live side by side with these regal cats.

I’ve been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I’ve already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤
I hope I’ll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀
I’m a filthy casual, and I think I’ll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I’d like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I’m fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.
Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list… I think I’m there.
Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that’s more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.
I’m perusing reddit occasionally, I dunno, out of habit, but also curiosity as to how this all plays out. But the magic is gone there, and wow, growing here very quickly. I’m here to stay, on lemmy.world or wherever in the fediverse. I’m on a mastodon instance but it’s kinda sleepy, but hanging in there.
I used BBSs in the early 80s, even dialed into Ward & Randy’s BBS in Chicago with an acoustic coupler modem… 300 bits/sec. Fedi stuff is more akin to that than the overly-managed corporate shit.
“Federation” instantly made sense to me. I feel sorry for (lol) younger people who’ve only known corporate, centralized, soc media stuff.
I suspect things are gonna get messy; communities are, or will be, hard to find, scattered, the activityPub relationships can be very complex, you can’t really tell who sees yout posts, or what’s included in a thread… the code isn’t there. But it will get there.
Fuck corporate seamlessness. I’ll take the anarchic chaos of user written code and organic change. The idea that we can, or even that we “should”, be able to “see everything” is a dumb 20th century idea. The world is a huge and complicated place, us dumb little organisms can’t even understand everthing that goes on in our physically local neighborhood. How could we? What a delusion.
There’s always more to seek and see. It’s fkn great.
