It’s almost as if reddit’s first party app couldn’t even compete with third party apps. I used Boost for Reddit and now I’m waiting for Boost for Lemmy
Still trying to wrap my head around the cross-community, cross-server talk, but then again I’m drunk so I should just try again in the morning
In a way social media is a drug and most of us were addicted. At least I was on Reddit, because I liked being there. So not using it, especislly when it was kind of a habit may not be easy for many on virtue fo that alone.
Same. A lot of the communities I loved had already left so it made it worlds easier. Honestly, my first frolick with Lemmy, kbin, and mastodon really have me more excited to see what comes out of all this
I’m enjoying Lemmy, but the migration has been painful for me because of the random answers to very specific questions that pop up in Google searches. I blocked Reddit.com on my dns server a few weeks ago, and I have lost count of the number of times I’ve had to copy/paste a Reddit link from a Google search into archive.org, or view the Google cached version just to get the answer without giving Reddit the traffic. It’s going to be a long time before that problem goes away, and I don’t know I have the patience to keep up with viewing the cached versions
I’ve also been mourning the loss of some of my smaller subreddits and thinking of re-creating them here. If you do end up doing so yourself, consider making one last post on those old subs to recommend others join as well!
I’m missing some of the niche hobby subs, and I feel they’re unlikely to migrate. There are just too many resources built up. But we’ll see! If they come over, I’ll switch to Lemmy full time
I hope so! I just am unsure if there is much motivation for the communities to migrate over here. They’re mostly non-tech and even the subreddits for some of them aren’t super active. Hopefully the ones with the more active subs will at least make their way over :)
I'm still checking it because Infinity for Reddit isn't "dead" yet. I used Sync too, so I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy/kbin! (I know it's coming out in about 5 weeks according to the developer of Sync.)
