Lemmy 100%?

@RatzChatsubo@lemm.ee · 6M

I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there

@Pacrat173@lemmy.ml · 6M

Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if it’s something I ask I use Lemmy.

@1984@lemmy.today · edit-2 6M

I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?

But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.

@UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works · 6M

There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.

@SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee · 6M

I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.

@bradboimler@lemmy.world · 6M

I haven’t contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.

@Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world · 6M

I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.

@Brekky@lemmy.world · edit-2 6M

Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).

My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.

Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).

i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.

@electric_nan@lemmy.ml · 6M

I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.

@Naryn@lemmy.world · 6M

I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky

I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.

So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.

@GrammarPolice@lemmy.world · 6M

Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?

db0 · 6M

I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.

@SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee · 6M

Oh neat. Royalty.

db0 · 6M

@SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee · 6M

I knew you from modding the other sub. I was just acknowledging it.

@GrammarPolice@lemmy.world · 6M

Sorry for your loss

@UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml · edit-2 6M

Reddits loss

Cris · 6M

I’m glad you’re here :) I’m trying to get better at noticing opportunities to post and contribute myself

typhoon · 6M

Yeah, I hear you. I couldn’t find yet a replacement for YouTube. It has quite a lot of content there, for the good and the bad, but some are quite helpful

@Routhinator@startrek.website · 6M

Fediverse, Forums, or bust.

@COASTER1921@lemmy.ml · 6M

I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.

db0 · 6M

And if forums just add fediverse integration like discourse is already doing, just win-win

@UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml · 6M

Damn, the future is rad.

@Routhinator@startrek.website · edit-2 6M

Yep, for now I just add the Discourse forums to my RSS reader in Nextcloud and catch the new posts in the Nextcloud News app

@Num10ck@lemmy.world · 6M

slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.

always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%

db0 · 6M

Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org

Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn’t have any drama iirc.

@POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com · 6M

I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.

@discostjohn@programming.dev · 6M

Me too!

@HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone · 6M

uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling

@jimmy90@lemmy.world · 6M

me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already

@HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee · 6M

@Renfield@lemmy.ml · 6M

Stop talking about your ex

@tetris11@lemmy.ml · 6M

If i’m looking for something online and the only info is on some niche subreddit, then I go to reddit. Other than that, I pretty much just lurk here in the shadows, muttering to myself about vengeance and being the night
