Depends on your use case. If you like the content or communities that exist here, then obviously stay.
Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin feel fairly stable about what communities exist and which get actual traffic, so make your decision based on your interests and interactions, as well your beliefs.
I'm on Reddit way more often than I'm on here cause my favorite subreddits don't exist here in any capacity oe have minimal activity
I still look at it to gawk at the insanity on r/conspiracy or what the fear mongering knuckleheads on r/conservative are talking about. You can’t get the on Lemmy.
I never post or upvote on Reddit though. Simply lurk. I enjoy posting here because just seems way more chill.
It’s different, but usually not better. I still check it out for some subs which here have no active users or that don’t even exist at all. But the quality of the answers and the community is much better here. I don’t know if that means the quality of answers on Reddit got worse or if the difference became apparent to me after using Lemmy.
That’s for you to answer. There are many niche subs that don’t have their equivalent here, but I don’t even miss them that much anymore. Reddit had so much content you could scroll for ages, even though half of it you saw already. I feel served here just fine. Feels more like reddit when I joined (though it was a bit more lively even back then)
nah, it’s stupid. remember those karma minimums you need to post in many subs? …or the endless moderator dramas and powertrips? the pop ups when you open it in a browser (are you sure you don’t want the app for the 100th time)? the ads that try to look like posts, so you accidentally click them? do you really wanna go back to this?
in my personal opinion i’d rather go back to 4chan than reddit, because at least everyone who wants to say/ask something can post there right away (even though it’s riddled with questionable content and trolls)
It never will. They are past their “growth financed” stage and are going to be passed around to owners expecting to squeeze a bit more out of it. This process is not reversible because nobody wants to buy it and just lose money.
This is the main reason I quit. The majority of my reddit traffic for about 10 years was through a 3rd party app. Reddit taking that away was basically a big “fuck you” to all the devs that worked tirelessly to give reddit that mobile traffic. These apps were free and relied on donations or premium purchases.
That decreased my usage by 90%, but ultimately that’s not the reason i stopped using it. It’s just a shitshow with a lot of really angry people. You can rarely have a proper conversation in your communities
