I thought I'd be able to roll with the Reddit Android app. But, man, it's rough. All of the fonts are way too tiny, and navigation can be a giant jankfest at times.
I might still roll by Reddit on a fullsize PC monitor on the web. Or I might not. Kind of depends on if Lemmy totally buckles under the server pressure over the next week or two.
Same. I feel much better already. I'm very optimistic for Lemmy after it gets these initial technical issues worked out.
Yeah, I've decided to at least give it a good shot, to try and see if I can stick with lemmy and mastodon. My current problem is I'm finding it really hard to find people to follow on mastodon, and to find enough active communities on lemmy to sate my social media appetite.
Between Lemmy &kbin I have everything I want, Reddit and Twitter can fuck off.
I removed my Twitter account around the time Elon took over. I knew it was gonna be bad when he took over. Reddit, I closed my account on the 1st. I hated the official app and saw it was going to die as well.
Welcome! I moved to lemmy the Sunday before the blackout and haven't looked back. I did go back finally on June 30 and deleted my account. There may not be as much content now but that will come in time as we all hopefully try and contribute. I was mostly a lurker on reddit myself, only started commenting more within the past year so will try to be better here. I am quite enjoying my time here and I hope you do as well.
Welcome to the platform! Unfortunately, Reddit isn't what it used to be, but we definitely can reignite the community that we all so fondly remember. Already loving it here and how friendly everyone has been :)
500 upvotes in 2 hours?! Fuck yes bois. Fuck that jailbait mod spez, and his shit website full of toxic spakkers.
Long live the fed!
Everything I use Twitter for stayed on Twitter. I can't leave it entirely... Same with Reddit.
Now I'm curious. What things do you get from Twitter and Reddit, that you can't find elsewhere?
I'm part of a gamedev community (godot) that is still mostly on reddit.
Don't use the lemmy.ml community. [email protected] is the place to be. It's a bit more active. We wanted to promote it in r/godot but the mods didn't answer our request. We should bring it on the godot community site.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Be active on [email protected], and more people will hopefully come.
I'm not the OP, but in my case I used Twitter to follow artists. Most of them either already had a presence elsewhere, or created one in the mess following Elon's takeover. However not all of them did.
When I decided to delete my Twitter account, I did loose access to the feed of some artists I enjoyed.
Did the same thing a few days ago and honestly feels pretty great
I still use Reddit. Lemmy still doesn't have a lot of the communities I know and love on Reddit.
Never used Twitter.
Check out the website sub.rehab It shows Lemmyverse communities which are replacements for subreddits. Not all subreddits exist over here but a lot of the bigger ones do
Some of the local subs I read have presences on Lemmy but no content. Most normies are still using Reddit.
For sure. It’s super young. It’ll continue to grow most likely.
yea i use both, there's many communites on reddit that just straight up dont exist here yet, not to mention that lemmy still has things to improve UX wise
i do hope lemmy grows though, i interact on here way more than on reddit especially after the protests
I deleted Twitter when Musk took over, but I still have Reddit. Once I get the hang of this, I will probably delete Reddit as well. I have noticed that for most of the Reddits I follow, the post counts are WAY down. Many posts are going unanswered or no replies.
Recently signed up for both Lemmy and Mastodon and it's a breath of fresh air after dealing with BS on Twitter and Reddit over the past few years. Welcome!
You're not alone, I've been on Reddit for a long time, 12 years on and off since introduced. Honestly never used it much at all until finding Boost 5 or so years ago and have been a daily user ever since spending at least a few hours a day on it just interacting and commenting. I commented more than I viewed posts lol just was always talking. They've done a lot over the years to irritate me as a user, getting all mecha PC and destroying all my favorite communities should've been when I quit but it wasn't. Half the site turning "blue" when I'm not really into politics, sparking constant political discourse for every comment I made that didn't strictly fit the current blue rhetoric was another straw but I dealt with it and tried to keep my comments as bland as I could while still speaking my mind. But now killing the 3pa and this whole shitshow? Nah, I hate their official app and have only ever even used the site thanks to Boost, before boost my account was unused, so shall it be after boost. You know what, it's mainly bc of how much I hate spez now. It was one thing supporting a company with a blank face that fucked me over at every turn, always blaming the mods, the admins, whoever. But spez? I just can't see helping that guy out in any way after all this.
Same here! I’ve moved from Reddit/Twitter to Lemmy and BlueSky, both of which have been an upgrade.
Welcome. I deleted all my old social media accounts. I think only LinkedIn is left. Mastodon is a delight to use and with so many apps available, you can have the best experience posible. The same is happening with Lemmy.
Just a couple of months ago it was like 3-4 comments per post. Now is huge.
I can't stand chaining comments (with one word in each comment). It's fun to see them once in a while, but they appear as often as spams now.
I'm really struggling in getting used to Mastodon. Already created two accounts in two different instances but couldn't follow any interesting accounts or whatever.
I know the fact that it doesn't have one is kind of a feature, but I do wish Mastodon had some sort of algorithm feed. I liked that after I liked a couple of football/soccer tweets, Twitter started surfacing popular football tweets, even if they didn't have any hashtags.
This is the huge problem with Masrodon imo. Twitter has all kinds of crazy algorithms, often bad and leaning towards hate/fear. Mastodon seems to be on the far other end with very little to drive engagement.
This is why a Reddit-type use (Lemmy) is perfect. The algorithm is mostly human driven with upvotes/downvotes.
I just joined Lemmy today for this same reason. Let's see how it goes.
