How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?
-
Soon as I figure out Lemmy’s porn options I’m done with Reddit forever.
Til then tho, I’m happy to consume Reddit’s content without spending a single cent towards it or any of its advertisers.
Don't make me laugh. Options? Lemmynsfw.com and that's about it. It deserves some donations from me if I can figure out the cryptocurrency options.

I’d love to but how tf do we get more users here?? HOW
Proselytize, brother, like the ancient christians and muslims did centuries ago. Use the sword if you have to.

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?

Lemmy
Mastodon
BlueskyThese are my main social media platforms now.
I might hit a Reddit link here or there because occasionally the information I need is posted there (that I found from a web search). But I don't browse that site ever any more.
Deleted Twitter because of elon.
Deleted Facebook after Cambridge Analytica.
Never had Instagram (will never download a Meta app at this point). -

Used to use RiF, stopped when the api bullshit went down and all I use are lemmy and Facebook now.

My 10+ year old account with high karma was perma banned overnight I got into an argument with a power tripping rad left mod. I'm left leaning politically, however if you arent rad left on Reddit then youre a fascist. They love that echo chamber. Honestly one of the best thibgs to ever happen to me. Reddit is bad for your mental health. And their power tripping mods are pretty much nazis
Doesn’t sound too different from Lemmy, except most users are radical left AND radical Linux users.

Lemmy only. Actually, I just can't stand the corpoverse, it's litterally painful for me to browse. The only exception so far is instagram because it's dopamine gold and you can discover a lot of things, but this is less and less true. And with voyager integrating pixelfed in upcoming updates... well i'll just migrate

did you know reddit started shadowbanning new accounts, and old inactive accounts that suddenly started posting. it was a recent thing, it wouldve happened to people who dint use thier old inactive accounts eventually. also reddit have been extremely oppressive with thier filters, and sub filters too.
Honestly, since I found Lemmy, I mostly ignore (or don't even see) Reddit news. Rarely it still shows up when I search things, but I just view those without logging in and don't vote / comment.
-
seeing as that's every comment section and every single post.
Why shouldn't it be?
Because there are other things to talk about, and it’s depressing and not something the average citizen can really control on their own.
I really don’t care about whatever new crime against humanity they’re doing next, I just want to see Cities: Skylines content, or at least some mildly interesting discussions.

The only social media I really use is Lemmy. I have instagram strictly because that’s where my sibling’s meme group chat is and they don’t want to move. I don’t use it for anything else.

Occasionally I'll hit up a reddit result if I'm doing a search looking for an answer to a specific question. But I never browse it since the 3rd party apps stopped working.

I ditched reddit for good two years ago. Now I just use Lemmy, Tildes, and Lobste.rs
Tildes. Now that i haven't heard in some time. That's still around then?

LEMMY needs to market itself :DD

Yes, only the third party apps that you know of so far.

Same same. I moved to Firefox for Android back then and use ublock to hide their nags forcing you to use their app. And of course the ads they were trying to shove down our throats by killing third party apps. It's still a great repository of knowledge that I'll search via Google, but otherwise I browse for fun here.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I realized sometime in the last year that Lemmy provided me all the usual community groups I needed and actually content I wanted to read (I never really used Reddit to just browse, outside of the sub.s I'd joined).
And I've been using Mastodon since, like 2020 or something (never was a fan of Twitter, though).
Also stopped using Facebook though that's probably more due to burnout and falling out of touch with a lot of the people in my life. Facebook really did make navigating socializing and keeping in touch both easier and less energy intensive and it is, for me, a good example of how social media can be good rather than this nebulous Garbage
that people seem to emotionally brand such a large classification as. Shame about it being owned by one of the worst human beings (but it was also always going to end up as shit – in the end –, so long as owned by a corporation); since I'd already dropped in using it, I just opted to stay stopped.Still use YouTube as there isn't a real viable alternative yet; itching for the day they're is.
And still use Tumblr, as most of those I socialize with are on there; though it has built up plenty of its own enshittification over the last few years. If I ever finish my Fediverse clone of it, that's where I'll be sprinting to.

I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.
