  • On one hand, I think this is the best opportunity for lemmy to grow exponentially in terms of reddit immigrants. It would be great to take advantage of this since if many users from reddit have a good experience with lemmy it’s free word of mouth advertising over at reddit. Plus I’m not sure reddit will do something like this again in the foreseeable future after their IPO comes out.

    On the other hand, I completely understand that there are technical challenges that need to be addressed, and a user that’s trying lemmy out for the first time would probably get turned off if it seems like lenny is unstable and/or there’s not much content to engage him/her.

    Id love for lenny to evolve and grow. I’ve only been here ~48 hours but I’m already less stressed and the community so far has been good to me. I’ll still promote lenny even after this API issue until they ban me. Lol.

    I’ll be honest - I don’t think I’ll stop using reddit completely. There are just too many subs there that aren’t here that I’m interested in. I might just use reddit whenever I’m on pc (which would be far far less since I’m usually on mobile). I’m still staying here, though, and try to be as active as I can.




  • I apologize for deleting my comment. I felt I was too new to have valid opinions on the matter. I got used to reddit picking apart comments lol (just like what you mentioned). I’m still not used to the community here.

    I’m staying with lemmy, tbh. The community is refreshing. They actually seem to encourage (mature/open) discourse here. I wasn’t as active in reddit as I am here in less than 24 hours. Lmao. I still miss some of the subs I frequent and they’ll probably be the reason I’ll still pop up in reddit from time to time.


  • Definitely try it. I started Linux with Mint since it’s the closest to Windows I could find. Later on I wanted to try bleeding edge but vanilla Arch was too complicated for a noob like me. Until I found EOS. The transition was smooth and painless. I learned more about Linux in a few months with EOS than years on Mint, but that’s a me problem. Now I have vanilla Arch on my VM and EOS on my laptop bare metal. It’s pretty stable, and that one-time Grub issue was the only hiccup I ever experienced that was not due to my stupidity. Lol.

    Now I want to try Gentoo, but man it’s even more complicated.
