YoUlL bE bAcK In A wEeK they said. I was not back, ever, unless you count an occasional Google search for specific info, with account remaining deleted
I stuck around read-only on old.reddit.com after about a month of not using it. Then they changed that on mobile, so then I migrated to Lemmy.
It doesn’t have the same level of content or communities…seems like far fewer “normies” have found their way here. In some ways, that’s nicer. In some ways, it’s worse.
But I don’t think I could go back to Reddit. Lemmy scratches that same itch, and it’ll likely only get bigger as time goes on. Probably not as big as Reddit was though.
I’m kind of okay with Lemmy, or at least this instance of it, not becoming quite as big as reddit. Reddit was just an absolute firehose of bullshit by the end, and you had to wade through so many posts worth of crap, spam, Onlyfans shilling nonsense, reposts, and so on and so forth before you found anything interesting in most of the general subs. While the volume of content on Lemmy is obviously lower, I think the quality of it is noticeably higher. In my experience, anyhow.
People seem to make posts about things because they actually care about whatever it is – or just making Lemmy a more active platform – and not because they want to algorithmically please the hivemind and garner a shitload of upvotes, or have some chump award them gold, or whatever.
I generally stuck to smaller or more focused communities on Reddit, which helped me evade a lot of the BS (but definitely not all of it).
The communities that share the same names are miniscule fractions of the size that they are on Reddit.
It’d be nice to see the activity approach the level of genuine activity that Reddit got. Especially because, as I understand it, Lemmy can’t experience the effects of rate limiting that happened to Reddit.
We like it here. 😁
Bob knows what’s up. That’s my boy Bob Burgers! That’s his name. Bob Burgers.
Ok yes but where’s our Bob’s burgers community then?
Never thought reddit would turn ass
Narrator: And this post contributed less than nothing to everyone’s time.
If you’re mad at me being right and replying to this, I’m glad I could participate in the time-wasting bullshit train and make you mad!
Sir, this is /c/shitpost.
You people are like a jealous ex partner that you just shit talk all day. But you’d take them back the second you had the chance.
Uh, no. Please go back to reddit if that’s how you feel
Yes. No.
Maybe. I don’t know.
Can you repeat the question?
You’re not the boss of me now!
Can’t you just go back whenever you want? It’s more like Linux users comparing against Windows.
