        Yeah that is the also reason for me. My other fav subs already come to lemmy (FMHY, Android, Piracy)

      Same here. I stopped the day of the blackout and stayed off. It sucked, but I figured it was better in the long run. And when Apollo went down it wasn’t like I was going to download the fucking app of theirs.

      Since June 12th it’s been nothing until about a week and a half ago, when it’s been Lemmy only.

      Lemmy doesn’t have nearly enough people to be worth using as the only platform people are on unless you never engaged with any niche subreddits. I was pretty active on subs where only like 100 people participated, so finding things like that on Lemmy are impossible. Lemmy is only decent for tech people at this point, it needs to get a tremendous amount of extra people joining to be good enough for anyone else to drop Reddit entirely. And even then, lots of info exists on Reddit and nowhere else that still make it a useful tool for other purposes.

      Sorry I just don’t buy that a large portion of people are already using Lemmy and nothing else (you might be, idk) unless they only care about memes of beans and nothing else.

          I don’t have anywhere close to enough time to actually be the person who starts and moderates communities. If enough people start them and start participating in them then I’ll start participating again, but “be the change” only works when people have free time to do it. I would love for Lemmy to take off, don’t get me wrong, but all I was saying is that it hasn’t yet and the claim people try to make here that it’s already good enough to replace Reddit is pure cope.

            But you do have enough time to assume that your personal opinion on a matter speaks about everyone’s else. It doesn’t.

              While I disagree with the other commenter’s position, wtf are you on about? So posting about your opinion is trying to speak for everyone else now?

                It’s good enough for me, and apparently others. And his replies reek of /iamverysmart

        Despite sixteen years as an active user, Reddit is dead to me. Even the subreddits I miss because there aren’t as active related communities here (yet) aren’t worth using that fucking app.

        I’m all in on Lemmy, and I think it’s pretty common

        I think you should try shopping around on different servers - sorting by all on a server that matches your interests is pretty great

        I was actively involved in a lot of niche subreddits including modding some. But yeah I haven’t been back since the blackout. Idk if I will ever be I always assume I might but the desire keeps waning. I’ve been reading books and writing more actually.

          Unfortunately I still have to use Reddit for D&D stuff, otherwise I’d be able to switch more easily. Also the subreddits I used to be able to browse for hours just don’t exist here so I can only basically get on Lemmy for maybe 5 minutes at a time before I’m bored and have to close it. Maybe it’ll continue to grow and get better in the future; here’s hoping.
