I don’t know where else to go.

The best thing about reddit for me was an endless stream of information and news propped up by user discussion. I rarely just scrolled endlessly through posts; I loved delving into comments on posts which didn’t even interest me at face value to see what I could learn from niche communities.

It was, hands down, the best, most information dense landscape I’ve ever seen and frankly I feel a little lost without it. I hope that some day, some where I can find something similar.

discussed lemmy with a friend the other day, who agreed people need to stop nerding out over how it functions, and just let it do what people are wanting it to do, which is replace reddit.

not to mention, the people discussing it just act like how it functions is a common knowledge that just makes sense.

instances, “federated”, “defederated”, user in one spot can have the same name as a user in another spot. does lemmy interact with kbin, wtf is a kbin.

dont make your acct here, make it somewhere else?

This is my permanent go to. Community already seems great and I hope it gains more traction. The main difference with the change from Reddit is I’ve gone from lurker to trying to be more engaged and posting.

I like it here. I’m waiting for better apps/UI though

Yeah, in for the long haul. Once the knowledge base and communities build up a bit it’ll be great. It’ll take some time… There’s still a lot of good searchable information deep in the subreddits.

Only if this place moves on from complaining about reddit and posts content. No one finds the “my ex was crazy” phase endearing.

Unless something happens, I’m sticking with Lemmy. As for interface and everything, I liked kbin more initially, but I feel like Lemmy development is moving much faster, plus all the third-party development at the moment. As I’ve said in the past, I’m going where the people are. And right now, that’s mostly Lemmy - and since it can federate with kbin, picking between the two is kind of a moot point …at least for now.

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn’t here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.

I feel like there’s people just taking top posts from Reddit and getting them here as fast as they can. Sometimes it seems like a “best of” Reddit site.

Im cautiously optimistic about Lemmy. Short / mid term I’ll be here as it provides probably 90+% of what I was getting out of Reddit. I’m not sure long term how it will work out but so far I have no reason to leave.

I’ve also noticed I just don’t interact with any of it like I used to with Reddit. I used to spend a lot of time just doom scrolling on Reddit. Now I get the highlights of the news, check the sports sun for updates, and then I’m back to the real world. I like that.
