Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
I go to Reddit for two niche subreddits and I look forward to the day I can abandon it for good for Lemmy. The front page doesn’t even entertain me anymore, every discussion there is so boring.
I got permabanned from reddit across all accounts including any new ones I make all because I decided to argue against racists. So I’m in it for the run with Lemmy.
I got permabanned from there once, I made a comment on anpost about the pedo leadsinger of the lostprophets saying something like " he deserves to die in the least humane way possible".
I appealed it by saying “Google him and tell me you don’t agree with me” 2 days later I was unbanned.
It took years for Reddit to achieve mass appeal (remember Digg???). For now, Reddit is still far superior for niche communities, especially the knowledge base. I tried to be 100% Lemmy, but the need for highly technical specific information always drives me back to Reddit.
Im very glad seeing more and more comments on any thread on lemmy. I kept using it and interacting with it for a whole year since the exodus, vowing to still use it even if it got slightly deserted because I believe in this project that isn’t mine. Im so happy you guys did as well. (Im just a user) I hope it will grow and that we will overcome the human tendency to pollute whatever space they’re in to finally call this home.
I still use other media though, i swear it was only one time baby!
I deleted my Reddit account during the blackouts and haven’t gone back.
I only use lemmy and 4chan as social media now
No and No.
I am happy to let this place grow organically with no pressure. I will not and have not been back to Reddit since coming here. Frankly, I am sick of hearing about Reddit; it’s like someone constantly going on about their ex.

Only time I use reddit is if I Google something and it leads to a reddit thread. I hope more people will use Lemmy so when I Google stuff Lemmy comes up first. Fuck reddit I hope their servers get attacked
What is Reddit?
Lemmy will thrive anytime Reddit experiences another exodus and the servers don’t crash.
I haven’t logged in for a good long while. Occasionally I visit old discussions on there as a guest, though, just because it’s where obscure stuff tends to gets discussed.
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.
I recently got booted off of Reddit and I’m hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn’t realized I had developed.
Good luck. It has certainly helped me.
Thank you.
It’s mostly a matter of getting over it in my own head.
I don’t use Reddit whatsoever. Being away from that site for 18 months has really shown how low quality the content there is. I know longer have any desire to ever interact with that site if I can help it, even if the fediverse is missing some of the active niche communities on reddit
i don’t post on most reddit communities but we’re sorely lacking a c/randomactsofblowjobs
