Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
Honestly if the Nuzlocke community had migrated to Lemmy, I’d never go back to Reddit at all. I’m just waiting for Lemmy to develop enough critical mass for those more niche communities to populate.
I feel that. The only subreddit I still have bookmarked is my Genshin impact leaks sub, which I view while logged out. Other then that, Lemmy has been good for me.
I see some older techies on Mastodon, maybe give that a shot? Different format, I know. Also takes a tad bit of work to find people to follow, but you get there. Just follow a couple of hashtags related to your interests.
That feeling's just gonna intensify over time, friend. The people who have time to post on the Internet are overwhelmingly 1) literal children and 2) college aged adults. It's not just here, it's the whole dang web.
This is surprising to me, I actually experienced the opposite. Reddit had a lot of teens but Lemmy seems to have older posters who are more thoughtful about what they post. In my 30’s myself and wasn’t able to get anyone younger than 34 to join.
It could just be the communities you subscribed to?
I mostly browse “Top X hours” which is All the communities and it’s filled with terrible memes and “funny” things I’ve blocked of few of these meme communities but overall it feels pretty low quality content aside from news but still there there’s lots of duplicates due to the various similar commuties on Lemmy
Hey there, also calling back from kbin.social as some of the commenters in this mini-raft.
Although most of the politics posts can be a bit of an eyesore to most of us here, I found comfort in this instance, even going so far as to establish some new mags for my ephemeral interests, one for the musico-archivist Derivakat herself, of which I have grown tired of continually building as my college era began to set in, up until this point.
As for private small-group convos, I'm also mulling moving on to revolt.chat along with a few others in my own Discord server if ever its fires start blazing forth.
I looked at Reddit for the first time in a long while yesterday. I had trimmed my subscribed subs to just essential, this is the only place on the web with this community like things.
So I look at my front page and I am still subscribed to more then 20 subreddits. But what is my #3 link but a 0 score off topic post. WTF reddit? Why is that even being promoted by your algorithm? I laughed at it and showed my wife and then closed the site without even looking at anything else.
If I had to bet I’d say most migrated to Discord. Many Reddit refugees are here and some more are on kbin. A lot of people went to squabbles.io and tildes.net too, apparently, but I’ve never used those since I’d rather stay within the fediverse.
How is Discord anything at all like reddit? Imgur I could see redditors migrating to (which is what I did at first before settling here), but Discord? Really?
If you can’t get into pointless arguments with people who think the 1 mile radius around their house is representative of the entire world, what would be the point in even having a reddit replacement?
I am here. I managed to not return to Reddit, and now would only go there to look up something specific, and not as a signed up member. I make do with Lemmy. I am hoping it grows too.
That is true. Stay motivated. I think it’s worth it. I think Lemmy still needs to grow in some aspects. And some things need to change to make it better. Both technical and the user experience. I’m kind of optimistic, though.
