Apropos of little - how long ago did Sean Hannity say he’d get waterboarded?

Only community I truly care about that hasn’t budged is the Neovim subreddit still going strong without a care in the world. Everyone’s still highly motivated and active there, so it’s really the only place to go where I can keep up the the community’s momentum.

For me it’s become the opposite. I open reddit /all and see twenty adds for joining the US Army, US navy, I see a few posts with 9k comments. I feel bored. I close it and look on lemme and there’s always at least as much if not more content, and the sheer mass of it isn’t overwhelming to me at all. People are stupid on both platforms, but for me this one has become a less stressful alternative.

The advertising on reddit is quickly getting out of hand.

I go to lemmy first, but it doesn’t have nearly enough content to replace the endless scrolling of Reddit.

I suppose I was lucky in some ways. I stopped using Reddit a few months ago, after 5 years of addiction, but I was on the way out anyway. I had some bad experiences asking for help, never really posted otherwise and just generally the community made me feel like being inexperienced with anything was the same as being an asshole. I moved to lemmy and I instantly started posting more, answering questions and basically just enjoy talking to people on here. I haven’t been back and deleted my account months ago.

I use Reddit as a source for answers to questions. Nothing more. I don’t post or interact beyond that.

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.

No but my account is banned so it’s pretty easy. I just spend way less time on the internet overall now.

Here’s a little known secret: you can still enjoy Lemmy without giving up reddit. I use both. There are some sports subreddits that I am not prepared to walk away from.

just one sub. there’s an alternative available but it would require associating a public forum account with a game account (my in-game name gets plastered on the web) and i won’t do that

EXACTLY

there’s just not enough in depth stuff on here. i love shitposts, i love memes, i love a chill tone. but we need people posting interesting posts, you know. i’m not even sure how to put my finger on what’s different or why, but there’s just less…stuff here. it needs to be seasoned, or something.

Reddit’s street photography subreddit wasn’t that great to be honest. I’m trying to curate a street photography community here, but it is a slow process. !streetphotography@lemmy.world .

But I agree, I still go back for some niche content like the editors’ subreddit.

Well, no.

Since their shitty app is the only app, the only time encounter reddit is in search results.

Since there’s plenty of ways to avoid interacting with the actual site, I do that and never have to deal with the bullshit.

However, I did try to make a post on a niche sub I created for the small number of users. A couple of days ago, I tried logging in to make that post, and got captcha cycled through five damn screens worth before I quit and counted it as a lost cause.

Fuck reddit, fuck their shitty app.

The main subs or sublemmies or whatever they’re called on here have enough users that it’s a perfect alternative to Reddit.

Little niche subreddits, like my favorite gaybros and askgaybros, just a few dozen users and I’m going back to Reddit for that.
