See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.
That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.
I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.
I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn’t post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became “Oh, it’s because x and y” to “Oh god you’re so fucking stupid it’s obviously Z”.
And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can’t even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.
Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I’ve never been more active on any other platform.
I will stay as long as they don’t do what Reddit did.
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
I’ve been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I’ve already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤
I hope I’ll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀
I can’t say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won’t return to Reddit.
So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I’ll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.
edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you’re into that kind of thing! :)
edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.
edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many “front page” communities.

Yes, but only on the condition that HeGetSus doesn’t make an appearance.
Still trying to get head around kbin vs lemmy vs Mastodon and the interoperability therein. It’s starting to click. (Intellectually I get it, but from a workflow perspective it’s taking time, as there are too many ways to go about it. The tryanny of choice, etc…)
So. Likely. Yes.
It comes down to the UX. I use BaconReader for reddit, and since that’s going away I might as well find something else. I don’t think kbin/lemmy/Mastodon are there yet as far as UI is concerned, but it’ll come. (FWIW the twitter app is, for me, not half bad - it’s workable - but I’m gradually weaning off it for more obvious reasons).
Yea, I’m hoping some of those developers create apps for Lemmy instead
I believe the Sync developer is making an app for Lemmy. Hoping that pans out as Sync was my main interface to Reddit.
Absolutely. I’m on a few instances with different moods/themes, and I toggle between them depending on what I am interested in at the moment (sciences, programming and tech, …).
It has already entirely replaced Reddit for me. It’s much nicer here.
Do you recommend a specific lemmy for programming or tech?
I’d also like to know, there are some magazines popping up on KBin, but they are mostly just 1 person posting news and/or old reddit posts.
I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.
I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.
Also “a serious Reddit user since the digg incident” and won’t be going back. There are some communities I’ll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.
Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time
Maybe a stupid question but is there any app for Lemmy? In my mobile browser it is somehow clumsy
Although this is a kbin thread, it covers most or all of the existing or upcoming Lemmy apps:
There’s quite a few in development, but not a whole lot out of the private testing phase.
I’m on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.
I’ve switched to Kbin.
- Posted from Gerboa on mobile because Kbin doesn’t have an app yet …
Jerboa, right?
