No. I habitually opened RIF so I removed the icon and replaced it with Jerboa, and I've found, thanks to the smaller scale, that I move on to something else or read a book sooner.
Doesn't take long to move on really.
I'm hoping the fediverse will take off once it's easier to find communities to add to favourites. It'd be good to find things like ELI5 and AMA appear.
Someone has set up an ELI5 over on kbin but there's no actual content yet in spite of having a few subscribers. I guess it's a case of 'be the change you want to see' at least for now.
I'm not sure I agree. I've subscribed to a couple of communities and there is already some content. Of course not the same amount as Reddit but that's alright. Lemmy doesn't have to be the same size as reddit. I like the small scale of Lemmy. People are very friendly. And yes, be the change you want to see, so keep on posting :)
I’m happy with the rate of growth, it’s just a case of poking around and, as has been said, create the communities that don’t exist. I’m reading and upvoting content, hoping others are doing the same!
Haven't deleted my account, but so far I've been happy browsing the various communities, honestly with the size of reddit, it was so anonymous that it had far surpassed critical mass, so the fediverse doesn't really have to be large to make it a viable alternative
Reddit has slowly descended into more and more niche groups for me, and I'm unsubbed from almost all defaults. I'll miss local or special interest groups like r/DIYnz, r/PersonalFinanceNZ, r/Chch. Maybe even r/newzealand. And some hobby groups like r/PrintSF, and r/cricket. I also mod a hobby subreddit with around 80k subs which looks to be voting to stay open, and I think I'll probably be stepping away from it.
It'll be interesting to see where these small subs end up heading - Lemmy seems like a good option.
Unlikely at this stage. I feel incredibly disappointed from how Reddit themselves have handled it by basically ignoring the blackout. I'm here and downloaded Jerboa. Time for a change after 12 years
