Asklemmy

I just haven't been on it since some time before the API debacle.

I like the content on Lemmy, and I've had much better experiences here in terms of discussion. But I suspect it really depends on your interests. Tech folks seem to be better represented at the moment, especially for historical reasons.

But as others said, post content!

The only reason I honestly go back is purely for the destiny 2 related subs.

Only problem i have with lemmy is that after scrolling for a bit i end up wading through posts with 0 comments and 2 upvotes, which are inevitably just links to something i do not give a singular toss about.

But that's honestly kinda just good, it forces me to not just stare at my computer nonstop.

When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.

There is technical content on Reddit that is higher quality than stackoverflow and the rest of the internet has been enshittified. So I’ll still take Reddit search hits over most anything else.

No. With a Lemmy account, and some careful bookmarks, I am fully entertained here.

There is one short story author on Reddit I like to follow. Likely to follow them on another site instead.

lately I read some post after googling for howtos but without logging it, blocking trackers and ads as always; I go there only if it's the only resource I find

Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.

I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.

There are a couple of subreddits that I still visit. My usage has dropped to a tiny fraction of what it used to be. In fact I think Reddit shitting the bed has been good for me overall as I'm spending a lot less time scrolling random shit.

I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.

For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.

DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first

I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway

It's always the same thing, why is there no post aging ? Is there just not enough content ? Lemmy needs a better sorting algorithm with more options for control by the user. Something to control the aging value. Also automatically aggregate communities from several servers, like every /c/book community on the fediverse.
