So I’ve switched to lemmy since the reddit meltdown started, experienced quite some withdrawal symptoms, occasionally turned back to reddit, more often logged out than logged in. Now I am merely using Lemmy occasionally and by far not as often as I used reddit before. No more doom scrolling....
The don’t miss the “Popular” of reddit, but the small specialized communities are not present here. I’m still using reddit for r/clashofclans, r/thedivision, r/printedcircuitboards, r/gradschoolmemes, r/phd and the discussion threads on r/movies about the movies I have watched. The community didn’t move here.
I’m a Relay user. Getting used to Jerboa, Jerboa is fine. Will try Boost as well. There isn’t a swipey app like Relay right now though. Hope dbrady makes his mind up about what Relay for Reddit is doing, then make a Lemmy version.
I see a bunch of people saying we should spend our limited money elsewhere. But these missions cost money similar to our Movies for fuck’s sake. Spending money on these missions (the money goes to people on the earth, making technical stuff, it doesn’t vanish) is better than spending on bread and circus, or even military.
The money amounts are FUCKING TINY. Stop whining so much about a good thing. We are talking about nations, not a single broke household.
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.
I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.
Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.
Did anyone try to return to reddit and notice it just didn't do it for you anymore?

Why are folks so anti-capitalist?
Hi all,...
What is the hype about Boost?
I’m out of the loop I guess, why is everyone insisting this app will be supreme before it has even been released?
Is there a Comic book reader app?
Is there a reader app that is accessible on Android for comic books? Is there some sort of free repository of every comic book? (I assume not.)

Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
