Like many people here, long time Reddit user. Lived through RES, Alien Blue, and finally settled on Apollo. When they pulled the plug on third parties, looked at Lemmy and Kbin. Voyager (a pretty decent Apollo clone) is what pulled it over to Lemmy.
I'm liking how it feels like early Reddit. Hopefully it'll pick up a bit more.
TBH, 90% of Reddit usage was just wading through crap, just looking for distraction, or funny crap to send friends. The last 10% was as a realtime side-channel during MLB games. Was bummed to have the new baseball season start without that. But The Athletic has started doing live gameday threads so that might make up for the loss.
I didn't delete my Reddit account, hoping they would come to their senses with 3rd parties, but it looks unlikely. Happy to stick around here and even start contributing posts.
