How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
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 Lemmy and blue sky. I have mastodon but don't go there much anymore.
I watch videos on YouTube if that counts as social media.

I use Reddit to investigate niche topics. Sometimes I want people's say instead of these blogs showing top 10 house renting service.
The pure scale of Reddit users makes it more attractive in this regards right now

For most of my scrolling and feed I use lemmy. I have discord for friends and workmates. Reddit I never comment, scroll, or even login to, but some extremely specific searches will still have some usable info on Reddit, especially for work (IT, mostly non Linux environments) or for very niche subjects.
I don't use other forms of social media, unless you count random youtube videos. Though I don't go through that using the algorithm much either, unless it recommends videos from the same 8 or so creators I'll let it, or it's short animal videos.

Personally I use reddit a lot more than lemmy. My interests aren't well represented here on lemmy. Still come here sometimes though.

Haven't looked at reddit since the first exodus. Feels good.

What did you do?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Was pro Palestine and critical of Israel, so they tried saying I was "promoting hate".
I was also telling people that we are going to have to start going outside the bounds of what is allowed by the current authority structures if we are going to have a chance at fighting for change; reminding people that the original labor movement worked because people stopped giving a shit about what the rule of law said was the "appropriate way to challenge the system" and instead occupied factories and local government offices for days on end to prevent them from doing anything other than listening to demands, the teamsters continued to make deliveries yet stopped accepting payment and tore up waybills to fuck the company over without allowing them to restrict access to goods, yadda yadda, etc...
So yea... Towards the end I was kinda giving up on subtlety and skirting the rules. Got my three strikes and was booted.

I bailed on Reddit and uninstalled after they made “Luigi” into hate speech or inciting violence. First off Luigi Mangione is a fucking Saint. Second, fuck Reddit. Lemmy all the way!
Hard disagree, he Is not a Saint and I Hare American Healthcare.

Only lemmy, I'm too spicy for corporate social media. Now if I said insane racist shit in support of trump, I'd be fine. But that's not me. I'm pointedly in favor of personal freedoms. Which is NOT in line with the end user agreements.
I got permabanned about 2 months ago on reddit for simply suggesting that people of any color, specifically Hispanic, should know their rights and buy a gun.
Now there are Marines occupying LA.
So who's the idiot now reddit?

Most people in here got banned or erased their Reddit account
I'd imagine is a pretty small amount

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?

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.

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.
