I miss the content on Reddit for sure. There really isn't enough people on Lemmy to get that amount of niche topics. But if Lemmy bores me out too much I think I just won't try a different place. When I quit Reddit I promised I would try touching grass more often and I'll fully commit.

MODERATORS
When I finish watching a tv show, I go to the related sub to see best memes. Nobody can take that away from reddit.
DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first
I deleted my 14 year old reddit account when they pulled their shit. Then I recently created a new account because I need to be able to get answers to specific programming questions sometimes, and lemmy doesn't have the population of users that reddit still has. I generally post on both lemmy and reddit, but I almost always get more answers on reddit.
Somebody tell this person about chat jippity. We don't need people for that anymore.

No, but I still very occasionally check it but only every couple of days for the niche communities, but only because my reddit app of choice still works - but as soon as it stops I will not miss it.
Which app is that?
Relay for Reddit - but I am guessing the move to the paid subscription is due any day now.
I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway
I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.
For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.
lately I read some post after googling for howtos but without logging it, blocking trackers and ads as always; I go there only if it's the only resource I find
No. With a Lemmy account, and some careful bookmarks, I am fully entertained here.
There is one short story author on Reddit I like to follow. Likely to follow them on another site instead.
Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".
No. Reddit was trash, there really is good content here, so why go back to the trash?
Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.
Most Reddit content is repost bots and stormfront.
I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.
I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.
Nah
Yes. I also quit R after all the bs. There a hole in my internet heart and nothing to fill it with
