    Every couple of weeks I come back and check lemmy to see if the top post isn’t about reddit. Not yet.

      I’m fine with this - many of us were on Reddit for over a decade and had to cut cold turkey when they killed the site. We’re here hoping Lemmy will replace it, so feels natural to speak of the old “shell” site.

        Yeah, it always feels like asking about an ex girlfriend. I want to not care, but it’s difficult not to.

        Also, whether or not one uses reddit/twitter/Facebook, the state of social media is worth discussing, its important.

        There are certain redditors who always appeared in comments from several subs I was following, and I’m very happy to see some of the same names popping up regularly here, too.

          Hello, it’s me, theangryseal. You might recognize me from nowhere. But I’m everywhere now. I’m the shirt on your back buddy. I’m the wheels on your track buddy.

          Now that’s an obscure reference. Enjoy it.

      Sir this is [email protected]

      That, plus articles from Ars Technica discussing Reddit generally get a fair bit of traction on this community because it’s a semi-big name publication discussing Reddit in a negative light, which further confirms the stance most users on Lemmy already have about Reddit

      It’s one of the biggest trash fires of the century, watching petulant fuckwits tear down functionally competent institutions and replacing them with nazis, spam and sockpuppets. certainly deserves the attention it’s getting.

      great job musko and spez, you idiots

      That’s a bit misleading. This is the first top post about Reddit in quite a while; it’s nothing like it was here a couple of months ago.

      Subscribe to different communities. Most posts I see are politics, racecars (until I blocked it) and non English communities (until I block them)

        Scrolling through all posts is fine. Communities are not (outside of memes).

        I did a bit to try to keep up [email protected] but it felt like I was posting to no one. Got basically no engagement. I stuck with it for a few months, because I understand the Catch 22, but it didn’t seem like it was going anywhere anytime soon.

        For league, at least, Reddit is the only option. I doubt it’s the only community in that position.

          This is my struggle too. Lemmy is great for the current events and entertainment stuff. Doesn’t have enough volume to replace the local or niche subreddits for me.

      It’s almost like we all used to use reddit like 2 months ago so are interested what’s happening with it, crazy

      Hang on, sometimes a Linux sub will post something about how they hate Windows.

      On your Subscribed feeds? Because this is literally the fuck Reddit community you’re looking at and if you don’t want that filter it.
