How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
I mostly browse Lemmy, but I occasionally check Reddit.
I never really got into the microblogging types of platforms (Mastodon, X, Bluesky, Threads, etc) for some reasonIn want to like Mastadon or Twitter, but its like....who are these people and why do I care?
-
Is anyone here so hardcore that they don't even bother with mainstream social media? If its not on Lemmy or Mastodon it must not be important? Anyone that hardcore?
I do lurk Reddit occasionally (using old.reddit.com only) and silently mod a subreddit that I'm attached to, but I don't submit posts or make new comments there anymore.
I also lurk Hacker News, Mastodon, Bluesky and Tildes.
Lemmy is my main site where I post the most.

Yeah honestly, when you have a question like that, if there's an appropriate Lemmy community for it share what you learned from your research on Reddit and ask is anyone else has input. Reddit may own the content but they certainly didn't make it, or provide compensation to the person/people who did.
That's an awesome idea, both to help populate the Fediverse with such info and to engage with new discussion. I'm gonna do this (if I remember).

I switched to Lemmy after Reddit killed bacon reader. Never looked back. joined world and discovered defederation drama. Joined lemm.ee. now I'm on .zip. I don't want my instance dictating what I see. Even if it is the trifecta.
I use Mastodon also. I occasionally watch YouTube, but I don't post, and I definitely don't engage in the comments section.
Have not used Facebook in a decade. Not interested in tiktok or shorts. Occasionally pushed to imgur for the memes.

Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren't well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.
Yeah I'm trying to stick to Lemmy, but all the communities I joined when I signed up turned out to be dead.

I haven't looked at reddit since whenever they disabled 3rd party apps. I was on kbin for a while but find myself over here now.

What interests in particular do you think aren't well represented?

Is this considered "hardcore"? After the mobile apps bit the dust I left and never looked back. I don't like meta stuff because of privacy concerns. Fediverse only for me

Want to leave Reddit, but content is SEVERLY LACKING on Lemmy, and the thing that keeps me away from Lemmy is
- The people , who thinks Linux is god and anyone says anything else is pure evil/villain and act accordingly here in comments EVERYWHWRE
- same as above
- I can't figure out what are Lemmy sub parts and how to access them, till date I have I access to part of Lemmy shown to me via BOOST app, but apart from that I don't know
Find a community you like. Be a member of it and you figure out more regarding subcommunities. It's easier than on the big ones.

Ah ya. Two years ago, I used to use both. Reddit old via Firefox mobile and lemmy via sync. Now I just lemmy because reddit is both cumbersome to use and, for lack of a better word, generic. The interaction doesn't feel real.
So now I just lemmy.Except sometimes on desktop when I browse porn. There. I said it.

Lemmy is the only one I check daily. I don't bother with reddit unless I'm using a search engine and can't find the answer I'm looking for. Even then, reddit's not all that great anymore since a huge chunk of the user base deleted all their shit and left.
Right? Stopped being a site I frequent and becomes more of a thing I see in search results.
-
Haven't looked at reddit since the first exodus. Feels good.
Same. Although for work i often get reddit posts for sysadmin research.

Lemmy only. No other social media, especially stuff like X or Mastodon

wrote last edited by [email protected]I haven’t been back since the killing of third party apps. I had no interest in using Reddit any other way. I haven’t been back and I won’t go back. The Fediverse is better in every conceivable way.

Lemmy, piefed, mastodon, sometimes pixelated. No reddit.

Lemmy only. No other social media, be it Twitter, Instagram, or any federated/FOSS alternative.
I still read some Reddit, but only signed out and I certainly don't post.

Stop doing free work for capitalists, that's not even a Reddit thing that's just common sense. At least make them pay you.

The Fediverse is definitely not great privacy wise but it's certainly not bad compared to a Facebook profile.

Artwork, hobbies, videos, cooking, health. Some of these are present in some form on here but not to significant volume or to my particular tastes. And many more things that have no presence on Lemmy at all.

Doesn't that apply to pretty much all platforms though?
