Asklemmy

I doubt the blackout will stick. I didn't see very much action around migrating to new sites from all those big subs going dark.

Most, but they'll always have Lemmy in their back pocket, which is the important part.

I think if the top Reddit third party apps developed a Lemmy app, that would genuinely help keep people here.

The "official" Lemmy apps right now are rough. They aren't terrible, but they are leagues behind any of the main Reddit apps.

As much as I want fediverse to become the norm, the thing is that it doesn't really matter if users switch over - content creators have to switch over. It's the same reason why Mastodon isn't very relevant, very few large names actually moved from Twitter.

I'm going back.

The community search functions are next to useless, the fragmentation of communities makes it harder to manage, and the Jerboa app is infinitely worse than the Reddit main app

I'm kind of hoping to stay here. I also joined mastodon. Just hoping the right number of people have the same idea.

Anime intros, but Madoka as well as the second intro of season 1 of Gundam 00. One of my favorite intros ever.

The users will go where the content is.

If reddit has 90% of the content it will get 90% of the users. If it has 90% of the users they will generate the content.

It's a chicken and the egg problem that will only changes when someone drops the egg.

From June 14 to June 30, the RIF Android app will mostly work as normal providing access to most of the same subreddits I've been visiting for the past decade+. A few will shut down permanently, but other than that, it'll mostly be the same as before, so I'll probably use Reddit during that period.

However, effective July 1, that option disappears completely. If I want to continue using Reddit, I'll have to download an entirely different app and get used to an entirely different user interface providing an experience much worse than RIF. If I have to learn something brand new anyway, I may as well try an entirely different platform like Lemmy. No idea if I'll stick here long term or not, but the power of Reddit was the community. If the community migrates over here, I'm all for staying here. I suspect one of the Redsit alternatives will attract a critical mass of people at some point.

As every internet platform has shown, the enshittification is inevitable. Eventually, Lemmy too will become an unusable mess of ads and feature creep if/when enough money starts flowing in. However, I'm perfectly fine using the site for the next few years until that happens.

I'm going to try my darnedest to not go back on Reddit. I'm sure I'm just a drop in the bucket for them, but it's the principle of the thing. Same thing with Netflix and their recent household bs. Even though I got a discounted plan / free plan for fewer screens with my phone plan, I canceled because I don't want to give them a single cent. I found myself habitually opening Reddit yesterday on my phone and then immediately closing it, so I forced myself to delete Sync :(

Still trying to get used to Lemmy but gotta rip off that Reddit band-aid and start using this more. The biggest thing I'll miss is just how widespread Reddit was. If I had a specific question, typically Googling my question and appending "reddit" at the end would do the trick lol. Hopefully engagement here can slowly build up to that one day.

I usually scrolled my subreddits, but the things I absolutely sought out on reddit were the wrestling sub and subs devoted to the toy lines I collect. There are discords for those things, but I hope to stumble across something here sooner than later.

The libs will go back immediately because lemmy has too many people who challenge the worldview presented by Western media.

i expect a much crappier reddit 6 months from now. i won't be able to use reddit without old.reddit and res.

re lemmy, i'm so confused and overwhelmed by it. i wish there was a lingo and activity converter between reddit and lemmy.
