I did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.

Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.
Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot
the only content im missing is from 1001albumsgenerator subreddit because that was already a pretty small subreddit and theres no way itll get to that size on here. so i check every few days to see whats on there
Haven't been back
No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
Which app is that?
Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.
These types of posts feel like they need a density of users to emerge and lemmy might just not have hit that tipping point yet. I have see it in non-reddit niche forums and I think it will just take some time.

I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire
I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.

I deleted my 14 year old reddit account when they pulled their shit. Then I recently created a new account because I need to be able to get answers to specific programming questions sometimes, and lemmy doesn't have the population of users that reddit still has. I generally post on both lemmy and reddit, but I almost always get more answers on reddit.
Somebody tell this person about chat jippity. We don't need people for that anymore.

I think the main search engines redirect a lot of traffic to R. Not sure why, but its apparant.
OP, make some more recommendations for communities you want to see. Ask instance admins for help grtting those communities to start being active. And crosspost them to "discovery" boards.
I am sorta having this issue - some boards I like don't wanna have deep discussions, and I do. I'm like, so lame, if you tell me to watch a show or read a book to come back and discuss, you're probably doing me a favor.
No. Reddit was trash, there really is good content here, so why go back to the trash?
I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.
Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.
Nah
Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".
I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.
