i just don’t go there if i don’t need it. go a few times a month to see any news on niche subs i’m in.

after subscribing to many comms on lemmy, i don’t feel like there’s less posts than reddit

It is jivwr here somehow. To be fair, the only thing that keeps my account alive on reddit is troubleshooting issues. There is a treasure trove of information on reddit about some technical issues or ideas that I usually seek solutions to.

Here, much less. I did try to make posts and seek for help or hints but it seems quite dead so far. Discourse is little to none.

But as a social media replacement to reddit, lemmy is pretty good. Plenty of posts off different instances make up my feed with random news, ideas, funny posts and discussions.

Put your Lemmy app in the spot of wherever your Reddit app is. Make the Reddit app take much more effort to get to. I used to have mine on my home screen so it is one click to get to it after unlocking. Now that’s where my Lemmy app is and RedReader is in a folder off to the side. (I suppose I could go one step further and just remove the Reddit app from the home screen folder.) I end up checking Lemmy first now.

The nice part is that Lemmy is getting big enough that I end up seeing a lot of the same news when I run out of content on Lemmy (start getting into more obscure posts) as when I switch to Reddit. So I find myself thinking “I’ve already seen that” so it makes the Reddit app feel more “stale” and easier to leave.

Reddit has started removing the “hide post” button on certain posts, so I’m switching back to bluesky

same, i recently used reddit for niche content on it, and i definitely stayed off using it, an djust browse it most of the time. only of matter of time before they get rid of old reddit completely, they just are biding thier time in trying to bypass the extensions that allows you to view old reddit, and on mobile. on mobile i use sink it , so old reddit works properly on a phone(no need to zoom, it automatically resizes the texts/pics). reddit started to force automatic refreshing to the top of the pages even in old reddit. i dont participate in the large subs, because of previous of banning activities on those subs. i save lemmy content, however little there is, for later in the day.

reddit makes me log in so i left

Lemmy/Piefed is for when I want a more slower and easier processed experience.

Reddit is for when I want a more broadened approach because of how much is there.

I recently discovered I’ve been shadowbanned, with zero idea why. Appeals vanish into the void without an answer… So I can read, but not participate. Feels pretty hostile towards users. Maybe they’re doing me a favor?

There are still niche communities there that don’t exist here.

By replacing reddit shortcut with Lemmy shortcut on my front page/screen. Muscle memory is helluva drug

I still also browse Reddit some but I’ve been using it a lot less since they banned me and cut off old.reddit

I keep my feeds on the app very curated which helps a lot. There are some niche subs that I like to visit still that don’t have a presence on here.

After getting banned for saying it’s ok to punch nazis in the face. 12 year account I just stopped cold turkey. I refuse to even click reddit links.

Actually it’s been quite good for me. I realize I had an addiction to the site. My social media time has went down dramatically

I just… left.

I came here during the API change drama. Started to get acquainted with the platform before Apollo stopped working. And when it did, I never came back. Didn’t even bother deleting my few hundred comments or give them the chance to ban me for not being a nazi propagandist cunt.

Lemmy is not a replacement for Reddit imo.
