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 occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit’s days are numbered.
i still rarely run into anyone that has even heard of reddit, or will admit to it.
I’ve found that there is a decent number of people that have heard of it but think it’s for nerds and virgins
Redditors has long had that reputation among people themselves, in a self-deprecating way. I suppose Reddit users on average are more intellectual and introverted than the typical person on social media like Instagram.
