I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I provide a lot of advice on Reddit for people and I want to preserve some of those answers if people ask those questions here. They will supposedly give me a CSV file that I can download. There are some other unofficial options but it seems like they involve downloading an SQLite database.

    As much as I am fine with Reddit crashing and burning, I know it’s an incredible resource for advice and single handedly stops people from doing regrettable things every day. It will be a while before we have the same thing here.

      As a gamer, there’s a lot of good tips sitting on there. I was just looking up info for the Final Fantasy V mode FF5FJF. Most of the results gave Reddit, and the FF5FJF sub is locked. It was one of those small impactful moments.
