It's not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

I like lemmy more. There is no real permaban on reddit btw. I’ve been “permabanned” like 20 times on there

for me it was when the ads started appearing between comments. it was a step too far and i bounced.

I jumped off voluntarily a little over a year ago when spez didn't like third party apps anymore and reddit went public.
Edit: damn it's almost been 2 years on lemmy. What a fucking ride
Edit: I can't believe cm0002 copied your exact same post

I used Redd is Fun for years, even paid for the ad free version. Moved to Boost as the API debacle as the wave slowly started killing aps. Tried the official app for 2.5 seconds & hated it.
Moved to Lemmy & been loving it since.

At the very least there's less "you should be supporting my sides' genocide and it's your fault my country is 'openly' evil now. we were hiding it and profiting off of it so well" on lemmy.

I'm not banned because I almost never post or log in reddit, but I'm still going. There are communities I didn't find here. But I try to participate more here.

I want to use Lemmy more but the content just isn’t enough yet especially on niche topics and hobbies. I do try to come here for the “front page” over Reddit, since those posts on Reddit get so many replies you ain’t reading them all anyways.
But when it’s time to talk World of Warcraft, for example, Lemmy is mostly dead.
wrote 7 days ago last edited byBasically, this is the same for me as well. I like Lemmy but there’s just not enough content yet and that’s OK but until then I’m gonna naturally gravitate to other social media until more staff is able to transition over. Half of the post seems to be reddit reposts.

Reddit had its advantages but when they forced everyone to have r/all as a default sub I feel like the content really started going downhill and all the subs started becoming the same. Then when the API thing happened I realized it wasn't going to get better, they were determined to become Facebook.

Banned. It’s been 4 years. It’s nice to talk to folks again. I deleted my FB recently to. No point arguing with literal bots.

I think most people have joined Lemmy cuz they were banned on Reddit. Probably ended up here after searching for “Reddit alternatives” after they were banned.

Permabanned for inciting violence but I wasn't

I stopped visiting reddit when they started screwing around with API access. I'm glad I didn't wait in the hopes the inevitable wouldn't happen.

I left after they banned third party apps. During me testing third party apps for the first time, i have found out that reddit was getting rid of them. I didnt want to use a platform owned by a company that was willing to make these kinds of changes
