In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page....
People here annoy me here more and more with time, especially when it comes to reddit, where every post shitting on reddit is massively upvoted. There is nothing to read aside maybe c/all where active have something new maybe every day, and hot is filled to the brim with the same posts since there is no crossposting as far as I know. It feels to me that people are forcing themselves to like Lemmy cause for no other reason other than they hate reddit so much more. Will that stop me from browsing it? Not yet, but I have to browse reddit for stuff I care more about.
I’ve just returned to reddit so I no longer feel superior, but at least I have something to read. Also I dislike this meme because it shows that Lemmy is only for people that hate reddit and noone else. Just look at upvotes for memes and articles that bashes reddit. C’mon dudes, we’re better than that.
I feel exactly the same about that. I’m always browsing all but I’m never joining any of those communities. I’ve join 3 so far but still I’m browsing all by default.
Sure, but still multiplayer games that are not on steam and have some sort of anticheat or other stuff like that are unlikely to show up on deck. Unless company steps in and release version for steam deck/Linux (which they don’t cause it’s probably a lot of work for minimal returns), you have to play it on windows. At least I can dual boot on my deck to play those games.
Even though I have relatively decent phone which can display 1080p videos no problem, I still prefer watching videos on my crappier tablet scaled down to 720p because it’s still better to watch worse quality video on bigger screen than better quality video on smaller.
I’m really trying to be positive, guys. I’m daily driving Lemmy, watching all the content here. I’ve only logged to reddit once thinking “at least old.reddit.com works”, and it does, but after clicking on posts it goes back to new so I said “screw it” and I’m sticking with Lemmy for now. But all communities I’ve followed on Reddit are either small, non-existent, or just bots reposting Reddit posts. I know about this site, and I’m guessing a lot of you too, by googling “reddit alternative”. Hate on Reddit will only get you so far. Maybe I’m wrong here, but in my opinion main problem of Lemmy is a lack of reach. I like Lemmy and I’ll definitely stick with it, but I don’t think it will be as big as reddit. Lemmy needs something that would make people go to it, and “it’s not reddit” is not enough.
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like “the world will end soon” or “my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto.”...
Really? Maybe I’m not on this side of YouTube but for me there are tons of great channels to watch. I’m more interested in science/tech/engineering/video games stuff. I watch Tom Scott, nilered, explosions&fire, Scott the Woz, 8bit guy, summoning salt, electroboom, captain disillusion, I did a thing, William Osman, LGR, Michael Reeves and plenty of more good, not clickbaity, drama free channels I’m watching.
Just a little rant. When I first visited Lemmy Sites a couple of months ago it felt empty. Besides the really mainstream community pretty much everything else just felt empty....
Yeah, Lemmy can in some part fill that void reddit left for me, but It’s going to be tough for it to be mainstream. The thing that makes Lemmy in my opinion still niche is that subreddits centered and endorsed by popular franchises haven’t migrated and I doubt they do it anytime soon. Maybe some day, but I’m not holding my breath.
How has your Lemmy experience changed over the past few months?

How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
It is possible to estimate?
