I have relied on using reddit as my google search for literally any topic or question I would have. I've had lots of laughs, met a lot of friends, and helped a lot of people. I have learned sooooo much from other people on a topic I was so lost about and most of the time they were extremely helpful or nice
I'm nervous that kbin might not become the new source of information (since google absolutely sucks ass). If anything it would take a long time to grow just purely out of members and data, considering reddit had to grow in order to be my search database. Either way, I'm hopeful. This place feels cozy
It'll take time but I'm glad you and I both are here. Google may suck but over time they and other indexers should hopefully pick up on the information being created here and we'll gain relevance in search. I want more people here, I want a shift in how the internet and forums work. And if we reach a critical mass one day, I hope the decentralized nature of the Fediverse will prevent the same downfall Reddit is experiencing. I want a more permanent place to hang out online.
I should probably just uninstall Boost from my phone :( I just opened it and seems to be working, but maybe it hasn’t kicked in yet
There are still some subreddits that I used a lot that [seem like they] haven’t migrated over yet :/ battlestations, intermittentfasting, lostark, oneplus, purdue, my local town, etc. It just sucks a lot since I’m trying to avoid using reddit entirely :(
I deleted Reddit from my phone today, right now I’m doing some research about something I wanna do in home assistant but a lot of the information i need is on Reddit so I go on there for that, but only that
If you want to tell Reddit people about Fediverse and Lemmy you won't be able to do that on Reddit. Apparently, Reddit is extremely proactive at censoring anything about Fediverse. It's also actively removing any criticism of spez including memes and has a block on any post that contains "fuck spez".
Yes, Element is the most stable and feature rich Matrix client. Schildi chat is also great. Schildi is a clone of Element and has omissions and inclusions that make it aesthetically appealing and functional. Check it out. Element is great on every platform including Android, and will be releasing a Rust based improvement soon. Another client I've had a good time with, but lacks important features is Fluffy Chat. Works well on Android if you just want to chat. Cinny is a decent client. It's uncluttered and looks nice. Having said, you can't go wrong with Element.
