See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been 'it's the internet, it doesn't matter', and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren't supposed to do.
I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.
Same here. Reddit is going downhill real fast.
Reddit has been going downhill for a decade. The problem was that there were no viable alternatives. Now that /u/Spez has pushed the issue, he forced enough people into Lemmy that it is suddenly a viable alternative. I call that a win!
I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.
That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.
I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.
I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn't post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became "Oh, it's because x and y" to "Oh god you're so fucking stupid it's obviously Z".
And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can't even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.
Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I've never been more active on any other platform.
I will stay as long as they don't do what Reddit did.
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
I'm on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.
I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.
Someone told me about https://sub.rehab/, so I just check that every few days to see if my favorites show up there!
That’s pretty neato. As an aside, can you save comments on lemmy?
You can! I use Jeroa on Android, and you can tap the bookmark button to save comments, and I think it's a similar process on Desktop.
Ooohhh I'm gonna start using that from now on!
I'm a filthy casual, and I think I'll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I'd like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I'm fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.

Yes, but
The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)
Still trying to get head around kbin vs lemmy vs Mastodon and the interoperability therein. It's starting to click. (Intellectually I get it, but from a workflow perspective it's taking time, as there are too many ways to go about it. The tryanny of choice, etc..)
So. Likely. Yes.
It comes down to the UX. I use BaconReader for reddit, and since that's going away I might as well find something else. I don't think kbin/lemmy/Mastodon are there yet as far as UI is concerned, but it'll come. (FWIW the twitter app is, for me, not half bad - it's workable - but I'm gradually weaning off it for more obvious reasons).
Yea, I'm hoping some of those developers create apps for Lemmy instead
I believe the Sync developer is making an app for Lemmy. Hoping that pans out as Sync was my main interface to Reddit.
Yes, but only on the condition that HeGetSus doesn't make an appearance.
I was already on lemmy dammit
These poor lemmy users who aren't on reddit. Suddenly a herd of raging ex-redditors come storming into their otherwise quiet community and take shit over. :)
So far, so good. Keep the bigotry and fascists in check and I'll stick around. I tried to make a community (a page for my band) just now and it just loads and loads when I hit submit. Anyone else had that problem? I turned off all my ad blockers. The issue persists.
edit: I was able to make a community today. Check out !jambands if you're into that kind of thing! :)
edit2: 12/13/23 Lemmy has lots of bigots and incels now.
edit3: 2/14/24 Lemmy now seems to have bigot and incels mods running many "front page" communities.
Absolutely. I'm on a few instances with different moods/themes, and I toggle between them depending on what I am interested in at the moment (sciences, programming and tech, ...).
It has already entirely replaced Reddit for me. It's much nicer here.
Do you recommend a specific lemmy for programming or tech?
I'd also like to know, there are some magazines popping up on KBin, but they are mostly just 1 person posting news and/or old reddit posts.
I've switched to Kbin.
- Posted from Gerboa on mobile because Kbin doesn't have an app yet ...
Jerboa, right?
Maybe a stupid question but is there any app for Lemmy? In my mobile browser it is somehow clumsy
There's quite a few in development, but not a whole lot out of the private testing phase.
Although this is a kbin thread, it covers most or all of the existing or upcoming Lemmy apps:
Yes, even more likely if I find a good iOS app for Lemmy.
Mlem/Memmy app. Very early stages of development, but looking really promosing. I have both, can't decide which one will end up being the daily driver yet. But how cool would it be if Apollo was ported over?
I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.
I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.
Also "a serious Reddit user since the digg incident" and won't be going back. There are some communities I'll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.
Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time
Is there any way to do actual Polls with Lemmy?
