Asklemmy

Since the blackout, I only use reddit when it pops up in search results regarding a special problem. No "open reddit and scrolling" anymore. It would be stupid to 100% boycott it and make my life harder just because, but they don't get more traffic from me than necessary.

Nothing. Haven't logged on since subs went dark.

Nothing. I keep the BaconReader app so that when I click on it and nothing loads, I know there is nothing for me there.

Only the NSFW-Content.

Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we'll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will

I still go on my city's subreddit to get the latest news about my city.

Not everyone and every community I like is here.

I'm immediately struck by the contradiction of asking this on Lemmy.

r/guitar, r/bass and r/trumpet mostly. The sheer amount of people in the communites just makes it better (shocking news I know)

The memes are better here tho

Specific subs that don't exist on Lemmy, especially Q&A-type subs with no equivalent (or very few members). Things like AskPlumbers. It'll just take time to build those communities here.

Nothing. I miss being more informed on what’s going on in the world but I don’t miss mindless Reddit discussion about it. I miss a lot of subs though. If AskHistorians goes back to normal, I might pop in for that occasionally.

This is getting better and better though, I’d rather ride out our awkward phase than get sucked back in to the Reddit cesspool and drift away. Although we really need to stop talking about Reddit so much.

My country and city subs mostly. I still visit covidlonghaulers a bit, because it's nice to hear from people in the same boat when everyone seems to be acting like it's all over. I also have a frankly unhealthy addiction to publicfreakout, which I'm working on.

Fan communities and general reddit. I've only ever used the web UI, so the API changes don't have as direct an effect on me, even if they suck. I doubt I'll ever abandon it completely. Adoring Lemmy so far, though! Looking forward to a nice, stable app to use in the future, since the web ui on lemm.ee is a little meh.

Nothing, I don't use it

r/padres r/baseball and r/fantasyfootball

If I could get even a fraction of the discussion those subs have here I would have no reason to go back

Infinity for Reddit still works. Once it stops, Reddit will become a site I may only visit on my desktop, which is not a common event.

I'm in a couple of communities of people that I like.

Some of the more niche communities that Reddit has wouldn't be easily replicated here.

I didn't download the official app, though.

Lemmy for me isn't even close to what reddit was. Careful selection of several dozen subs over past many years meant that I felt at home browsing the feed. On lemmy, I've tried to join similar instances as my subscribed subreddits, but so far it's empty. The situation is improving and I hope to one day see better content here than in reddit

Nothing eheh

Following AskHistorians until they go somewhere else, and niche communities that are too small to fragment until Reddit itself is significantly more dead.

I'm barely on Reddit, but the subreddits I still visit occasionally are a local one and a LEGO one. Lemmy doesn't have enough people to justify local communities and although there's a LEGO community, the Reddit one is much larger.

I am still following some notebook/fountainpen /journaling subs that I miss here. And some subs about Christianity.

Niche communities like Quake Champions and city-specific subs

Mostly LGBTQ+ subs. Especially trans ones.

I promised a couple subs I mod to stay on until they find replacement mods. After browsing lemmy, the interface is downright aggravating, though.

I’ll go there when I want to read episode discussions after watching an episode of a show. Unfortunately all that content still lives there and there’s no substitute on Lemmy.

Fiction.

Unfortunately only content. I spent some time subscribing to similar Lemmy communities that I had on Reddit and many of them just don't have the content yet and I can't exactly generate it alone.

You could make the absolute best software platform (not saying Lemmy is it, it's somewhat buggy), but if people don't adopt it, it won't succeed.

The "winner" is often not the best platform either. WhatsApp is popular but kinda shit, same for Instagram, Tiktok etc. Threads might win over Mastodon for a Twitter replacement, just because it comes from a huge entity like Meta and people can use their existing accounts.

Unlike Twitter, Reddit has not yet fallen off the deep end where using it on e.g old Reddit on desktop computer is a terrible experience. I think the upcoming months will show if replacing mods etc ends up biting it in the ass.

With Boost finally closing, I am without Reddit on my phone. I'll have to see if losing the "let's browse Reddit a bit on my phone because I'm bored" option does good things for my mental health and daily life overall.

I'm actively trying to get people too switch their elections to Approval Voting. If I want to do that, I have to be where the people are. I don't browse anymore, I just look at the subreddits most likely to generate relevant conversation and join in when appropriate.

r/php basically, there's nowhere else (AFAIK) to have a good conversation about php that is not just asking for help. But I use it only on my PC and not on an app (I'm not installing that spyware), so I don't spend much time there.

Is it possible to view/use real reddit subreddits in a Lemmy app? (I have thunder and jerboa installed)

The fact that Boost still works. One day soon I will open the app and it will have ceased to work and that will be the end of my time as a Redditor.

Nothing. They broke the apps i use, so i dont use them
