Do you find that you're on the fed more than you were on r/ just because you're really really excited to watch your favorite communities become more active?

I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

Not necessarily to boycot reddit but since rif is gone I simply have no options to see reddit on my phone which is where i spend my most of my time.

As a result of that I also notice I’m not on Reddit on my pc as much. I usually scroll 2 pages of ALL and kinda lose interest. I even slowly stopped going to my regular subs.

Actually I’m slowly less on my phone or endlessly scrolling reddit!

Chasm ,

I still use RIF with ReVanced patch for RIF 😎

I know you still can, but for how long? And to be honest, im quite happy im less on reddit. I wasnt doing much there anyway other than my local subs which i browse for 5 to 10 minutes a day on the pc.

I have no idea and I’m not too invested. I don’t really care for how long, or if, or if not, if it works it works and if it doesn’t there’s more to life.

im quite happy im less on reddit

i don’t even have less of reddit, i didn’t have much reddit to begin with, too busy with werk & laif

I wasnt doing much there anyway other than my local subs which i browse for 5 to 10 minutes a day on the pc.

i open a few subs every so often to find more netflix shows to watch or see if my games have been updated with new drama & then i leave.

I’ve been on a lot recently because it’s a shiny new thing and I want to figure out how it works, but I also want new people to join so it get bigger and has better and more varied content.

Make lemmy QR codes and put them on the street, throw them at people, rent a billboard, hire marketers, build a multinational marketing enterprise dedicated to the promotion of Lemmy. Make astroturfing gpt bots.

I’m more active here because the UX is better.

I am always way more active on the fediverse alternative than on the original. Fuck corporate social media. I have been burned so many times. I constantly have to fight off ads and high battery and storage usage.

Ignacio ,

Now that you mention it, I'm watching and scrolling Lemmy/Kbin since I wake up until I go to bed. I only enjoy some relax to cook, to eat and to play video games.

I feel like I’m contributing way more to Lemmy than I was on Reddit. I spent almost 15 years on that goddamn website and it felt like trying to piss in the ocean when posting or contributing to anything.

About the same amount, just a way to kill time and find out about topics I enjoy as well as something to make me laugh. So happy there’s finally an iOS app Memmy now!

There are actually way more, but you need testflight to use them.

There’s one exception: wefwef.app which you can just add as a webapp.

I’m actually just enjoying watching things here grow, come to life. I’m loving the energy of that. It’s so positive.

I’m excited to be here since it feels like the old reddit community, which I missed over time. I’m just kind of tired of what reddit become as a platform and as a community. It was so nice early on, but as it gained popularity just became more toxic in various ways.

Not sure if more or less, but I definitely love to check in during the day. feelslikehome.jpg

Transcendant ,

I think if I’m honest, I’ve replaced one source of procrastination with another (though I’m proud of everyone here for voting with their feet and rejecting what reddit has become).

But it is definitely a nice thing to see day by day the sub count for each community growing so rapidly… though I do fear for Ruud’s sanity! I cannot suggest strongly enough that we all donate where possible. He’s doing this in his spare time from what I gather.

I think we need to get used to the idea that social media can’t be free anymore, because when it’s free, that means WE are the product

mouldycotton ,

In a way. Feels like watching some plant slowly grow bigger and bigger. Fingers crossed it all works out 🤞

Today OP ,

This! It’s like watching a baby bird grow up and learn to fly, hoping he doesn’t crash in the driveway.

Nope. This website has a very specific demographic and a ton of more “casual”, non-tech/internet topics see zero activity in here, for the simple reason that there’s virtually no interest or demand for them amongst the Fediverse users.

Deleting my Reddit account made me look for already stablished forums on certain topics tho.

minorsecond ,

For example, I tried to recreate the Powerlifting community here and it’s completely dead lol. It’s just me posting a couple times per week hoping someone else joins me. There are around 50 subscribers but they only upvote my posts.

Today OP ,

Kind of makes me want to subscribe to the powerlifting community just to cheer you on.

I’m mostly a lurker wherever I go, but I’ll think about posting something there. 🙂

Today OP ,

Doesn’t matter what the base user group is; the cats are always there!

If cats grew thumbs, we would be fucked, lemme tell ya.

woomp ,

I don’t think we’re close to the point where the content is becoming watery because of oversaturation. I’m excited about exploring/watching our fediverse grow.

However, though I understand the point of having the same c/cats or whatever communities across different instances, while everything is still beginning it’s hard to gain momentum in any because they’re so spread thin. I realize this diversification is one of the entire points of the fediverse, but when you search and see 4 duplicates it makes it hard to know which to join. Especially for niche communities in the future. I’ve ended up just subbing to all of them in those situations which I’m not sure is what I’m supposed to be doing (or maybe that’s the answer?.

Today OP ,

I love cats, but I’m pretty happy with the ones i followed on r/ being here - cats with jobs, standard issue cat, and all orange cats share one brain cell. I do wish we had a few more cannabis communities. I’m missing r/treedibles even though it was kind of a shit show of stupidity.

pspat ,

I posted as much in 5 days of Lemmy as in 5 years of Reddit 😆
