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 was on reddit for 10 years. i’ve just started taking up lemmy and the ‘fediverse’. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it’s going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i’d otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. ‘fediverse’ is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.
