    It just got so bad. I can’t imagine how terrible it is now. I would love to see post pandemic stats.

      I still surf both. Unpopular, I know, but Lemmy does not yet have the super niche communities that barely exist on reddit.

      Imo, it’s about the same. Some subs have gotten worse, some have gotten better, but that’s how it’s always been.

        I do Google search for specific beer questions.

        Example: Reddit+Syracuse NY+best breweries

        That’ll give me good info without having to get on Reddit.

          If you use the site:reddit.com operator, you might get better luck, since it automatically excludes any sites that aren’t Reddit.

            Protip: set up a macro to type out site:reddit.com if you can’t be fucked to type after every search.

          That’s good for sure. I still enjoy browsing those many nice communities unfortunately… I definitely search for stuff like that when I need to find specific things.

        Same, lemmy first, but I visit my favorite game subreddit daily too, I try not to comment or vote, not that it matters in the end.

      Every once in a while I pop in just to see the homepage. The content isn’t super great anymore. Honestly, the best stuff on Reddit are all the old threads about things.

      Also, there are some small interest communities that’s just don’t have a good presence on Lemmy right now. It enough people here. For example, the community for my city, which is a major US metro, has like 3 active people here.

      They’re all faked for the IPO grift.

      The default front page subs are the same brainrot they’ve always been, and the niche early 2000s anime subs are still as great as they’ve always been
