Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?
100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.
and AI slop?
TV, Movie, Anime, Video Game, Discussion Threads.
It’s non-existent on Lemmy.
I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.
I have it blocked (just the communities, not the users) so I can’t really say but isnt ani.social pretty popular? I see tons of users, I figured there’d be posts too
Whenever it comes up in a web search and I absolutely need it for whatever information I’m looking for, mainly troubleshooting stuff
yeah, sadly there’s a lot of niche technical problems that have only ever been answered as reddit posts. about the only time I go there either.
On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.
You can’t have a healthy discussion there anymore.
Once in a while a Reddit thread will come up in search, reading that thread is the extent of my Reddit usage.
I read the comments, since lemmy doesn’t have many
I use reddit as a comparison when explaining lemmy and the fediverse to the uninitiated.
As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.
Sometimes it’s in the top few search results. Otherwise I don’t .
Pretty much everything remotely niche. Subs devoted to individual video games, for instance. The only game I play that’s on lemmy is https://lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon.
Niche subs
I got shadow banned for no reason, so only Lemmy for me. I appealed for so many times on Reddit, yet no freakin’ answer.
Porn.
Though they got rid of my favorite category so I’ve been using it less.
