I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Hello Lemmy

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.

First time poster. I'm on lemmy.world but found not many of my channels like I have on Reddit. How you all find your niche subs that are bigger than 30 people?

For me, I have a nice Twitter feed. Really nice, lots of good people and it makes me happy. Nearly none of them are on Mastodon so I'm having a hard time doing this anew. I expect a lot of those folks will have a hard time moving to Mastodon, but some have left for Instagram. Not the same. I have found a lot of the same forums from Reddit here, and some are empty so I hope to help populate.

I'm guessing Mastodon is a Twitter like thing? I could Google but I'm here to chat about things. It's kinda nice being on what feels like an old internet or fledgling community space

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yes, Mastodon is microblogging like Twitter. Usually has longer character counts, my instance has 5000 which helps because I tend to get long-winded.

Have not touched my Reddit account since June 30th 0:00

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I've never used twitter 😎😎

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Check out Mastodon for the Twitter alternative - it's great. I'm really glad I made the jump.

Twitter has become a toxic cesspit even before musks takeover. He just made things far worse to the point where it's basically just attempted doxing and permanent ad-hominem barrages. It's not worth any time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I still use Twitter occasionally, not as much as before, even because I lost interest in many topics I followed before.

I almost cut out Reddit too, since 3th party apps still work at the moment, but when that moment comes I will drop it without any doubts.

Ah, almost forgot, welcome to Lemmy. :)

I would like to do the same. That Reddit app I hate detest, however I'm not exactly seeing anything amazing so far with this ui, but I just started so I don't know much about this yet

Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, Those corpo media sites are now a fading memory for me.

Same here, I am all in with fediverse. I will soon delete both my reddit and twitter profiles, I hope that more people will follow soon. ps: make sure to send a GDPR claim to both so that they purge all of your contributions to the site ( reddit posts/ comments ect... ), this is the only way that they will be able to see how badly they are running these services.

welcome! enjoy your time on the fediverse! personally i found fedi back in '19 but the latest stuff with reddit re-sparked my interest and got me into using lemmy

I deleted my Reddit account on July 1st as well. Their distain for the people that provide them free labor was disgusting.

Deleted my Twitter account a month ago and Reddit just committed suicide. I'm good with it.

Is there any app for Lemmy (Android) that scrolls without stutters every now and then? I tried Thunder and Jarboa and although the scrolling is smooth most of the times, but they stutter occasionally and the experience is not very intuitive. When I was on Reddit, I was using Infinity for Reddit which was smooth af. I am looking for an a Lemmy app that looks and feels like Infinity for Reddit.

Not an app but try wefwef.app as PWA. The UI is same as that of Apollo.

I left Twitter like half a year before the whole Elon Musk stuff, and I stopped using Reddit on the day the blackout protests started. I haven't deleted the accounts though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I deactivated my 15 year old Twitter account this weekend.

Then I deleted all my Reddit posts.

Then I created a new email account and I'm migrating off of Google.

I guess I should go check out Nebula or something next, and try out PeerTube.
