Honestly Reddit doesn't infuriate me anymore. I haven't been on reddit for 2 weeks now and I no longer feel the urge to check that site. I expect I'll still end up there occasionally when I search for stuff, but gone are the days when I spend an hour or two every night on reddit.
Why would I go on bad lemmy?
That’s actually been my experience as well lol.
I did actually deliberately jump on reddit on desktop recently, just to check on a few things and see how the protests were going.
There wasn’t really anything informative on the front page that hadn’t already been posted here. The quality of posts actually seemed worse overall
The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I'm guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.
I also feel like it's become more right wing. Or at least now that some people have left, the balance has shifted further to the right. I went on yesterday, and r/WhitePeopleTwitter, a fairly left wing sub, is now having a lot of Republicans. Really killed my desire to go back. It was something I know a lot of people predicted would happen, but still sad in a way to see.
Edit: Also the fact that the main niche subs I went to are dead. They used to be pretty active, but since they reopened, a lot of users were not happy. So now it's a post every few days. I think one of the subs just got completely deleted. Sadly they're not as active here.
I opened Reddit, saw no bean posts so I immediately closed it.
Same for me. When RIF stopped working I went into Lemmy and haven't went on Reddit since. The FOMO I thought I'd get isn't there because I'm active and welcome here. I have people to connect with, and that's what I really only wanted out of a social site like this.
There's still quite a few subreddits I miss. Plus the larger community. Some communities are here, but they're dead with no users, and I don't really have what to contribute.
I wanted to try listing all of them, but I realized there's like 40 of them.
Mostly, I miss r/batteries, r/ElectroBOOM, r/linuxmint, r/ManjaroLinux, r/LinuxMasterrace, r/SpaceXMasterrace, r/pcmasterrace, r/computers, r/laptops, r/amateursatellites, r/whatisthisthing and r/RTLSDR which also had cool people like developer of noaa-apt and Ryzerth, the developer of SDR++, plus many more.
Edit: Oh, how could I forget dereksgc, another cool guy who puts out lots of useful info.
Things will slowly grow if we all stick with Lemmy though. It's really just a matter of time until it reaches a critical mass.
Yes that's the only thing I would miss from Reddit. The wealth of knowledge that lives on their servers and the community until they more over here
It’ll come with time.
The only sub I go to now is my local city's subreddit for a good stream of local news and happenings. That hasn't migrated to Lemmy yet and I don't want to moderate it so I'm not making it here lol
I still get a little heartbroken seeing the Apollo icon on my dock. 😭
I couldn’t bring myself to uninstall it completely so I just removed it from my Home Screen, it can live out its retirement in the app library
