Are you committed to make Lemmy thrive? Do you keep posting your discussions on Reddit?
I’m never going back to corporate social media. If it’s not FOSS and available to self host reasonably, I’m not interested anymore.
So that means, lemmy and others like it only from now on for me. Already close to 1k posts made.
Aren’t you like the main mod of the r/piracy community?
I used to be until the blackouts where I was demoded by the admins for blacking out the sub.
Sorry for your loss
Reddits loss
Oh neat. Royalty.
?
I knew you from modding the other sub. I was just acknowledging it.
Yeah, I hear you. I couldn’t find yet a replacement for YouTube. It has quite a lot of content there, for the good and the bad, but some are quite helpful
I’m glad you’re here :) I’m trying to get better at noticing opportunities to post and contribute myself
Haven’t been to Reddit since the API changes last summer. I’m trying my best to be a good Lemmite but I don’t post enough OC, so that’s my bad
I feel guilty, that is why I asked. Yesterday, I even posted a question on Reddit instead of here. I feel that I should believe more on the Lemmites
I thought we were lemmings 😥
Find stuff and post it here. Our memes comrade.
Left reddit as soon as the blackout happened, was actually impressed at myself being able to stay off it. Haven’t been back except when I google a question, and the answer is on an old reddit thread (I do not reply or comment).
My opinion is Lemmy needs more communities and more DAUs. Have been trying to tell people why they should switch but I’m not techy, my friends are not techy and they just don’t care about data/ownership etc. I’m hoping reddit shits the bed further so more laypeople jump ship.
Same goes for mastodon which needs more content although I only previously used twitter on days with big events (oscars, grammys, f1 race days etc).
i hate that we are here stuck trying to convince laypeople when we used to be the ones to shape the internet. now its just coporations making us ruin it 9-5 every day, for laymen to just use the shittiest option because its the one with the biggest marketing budget.
I’m sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren’t they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.
There are discussions, but (almost) only about linux and the sorts.
I just posted a discussion thread yesterday about Dragonball z.
I haven’t logged in for a good long while. Occasionally I visit old discussions on there as a guest, though, just because it’s where obscure stuff tends to gets discussed.
uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling
me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already
I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.
Depends if the community came over here with me or not.
I haven’t contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.
100% of what?
I’m not using reddit ever since they broke all the 3rd party clients.
I mean you can still use them, it’s just more finicky
I moved completely here after the reddit API thing.
Me too!
I’m Lemmy 99%. Can’t do 100% because sometimes there isn’t an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
You could make one and then post it to both communities.
If it’s a topic I’m super passionate about & there’s no community on Lemmy then sure. But I’m not going to start a new Lemmy community every time I want to post a random dog photo or whatever.
This place feels like a breath of fresh air. It genuinely helped me cut down on social media usage.
I recently got booted off of Reddit and I’m hoping participating here on Lemmy will help me get over the need for social media I hadn’t realized I had developed.
Good luck. It has certainly helped me.
Thank you.
It’s mostly a matter of getting over it in my own head.
Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
