Something I used to do on Reddit was find a new community, and binge the top posts from the last year. I've started being able to do that on Lemmy, which is a huge win in my books

Plus Reddit Ads Personalization are'nt avoidable anymore

I browse lemmy a lot on mobile. When I first looked into lemmy mobile clients, they were read only.

This post inspired me to get Sync 4 Lemmy, now I'll be commenting much more (careful what you wish for haha as I'm sure I will have opinions some don't agree with, but hopefully can always debate rationally)

That's the spirit

anyone who wants to leave can go. Hell, I'm responsible for two of the lost users because when i first came over here I misunderstood how this works and made a new account on each instance. what's up @[email protected] and @[email protected]?

Lemmy feels more alive than Reddit imo

There's a reason why my username is the way it is. This is my new home.

Also, f*** Spez.

Cool story. What are ads?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've noticed that Lemmy has been shedding a lot of the Reddit style toxicity that was brought here from the influx. Presumably that has something to do with the terminally on Reddit people leaving.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I think that a lot of people grew up on reddit and come here trying to do the same nonsense, only to not get traction, become bored, and leave.

Umm this is a Wendy's drive thru sir...

Yeah, it's been a few months now and i have been forgetting all about the reddit drama. I was here because i hated reddit at first, but now im here because i like ur, not to prove a point .

reddit has become a place i hit up when Google search leads me to an answer, like Wikipedia or something. I get it and I'm gone.

Sorry Reddit, it's over babe! It's not you, it's me! (it's you)

I actually don't care about what reddit did. But I care about that the client is so much faster without all the ads, bloat they put in. Here Lemmy wins and it is Reddit fault they are so greedy and not caring about the user.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I saw that again the other day and could not care less. I love the Lemmy mobile apps, and there's nothing good left for Reddit in that area.

I actually was kind of annoyed the first week of Lemmy. It felt like a lot of keyboard warriors came over. It doesn't feel as much like that any longer. I think if anyone didn't stick around, it was the loud people pretending they were stronger than their addictions.

Good riddance, this is a much more chill crowd now. Maybe it's just a bunch of old people... But eh, I'm old. We can all be old together now. Just stay the fuck off my lawn, and by that I mean the grass outside my apartment complex.

Meh don't worry. Those users were never going to stay anyway. The dumb herd loves strong leaders even if they are unjust.

Considering the cesspool that reddit has become, good riddance.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It's okay, you can swear on the internet.
