I'd love to only use lemmy, but there aren't enough posts. I use lemmy for 2 days in a row, then reddit for 2-3 days in a row, repeat.

Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?
They killed Apollo and I’ll never forgive them.
Luckily, Voyager is pretty similar with Lemmy

Trying to but its hard. But I'm only on reddit when i really have to throught the browser. I try to minimize my traffic there.

Same for me. Reddit walled access to their platform so I sought alternatives. Lemmy filed that void.

Can't use Reddit if I'm permanently banned. Fuck them anyways.

Yes, hi. I have fully abandoned antisocial media.
Stuff is not important anyway, no matter where it is posted. I get input here, which is okay. But the most important part is: I dont get centrally controlled propaganda and am able to form my own input as I can handle it.

I switched to lemmy about two years ago and went almost cold turkey. There was one community on reddit that I returned to a couple of times in the first few weeks, but even that stopped as it just wasn’t worth it. I have been to reddit a few times since, but only when trying to solve a problem and reddit comes up as a search result, and only after trying other sources first.

There is a treasure trove of useful knowledge fragments that I occasionally use at work - like for when I do a web search for an obscure error message - however I don't engage with the platform, just reference it when useful. Otherwise Fediverse forever, fam!

I stopped using reddit when they wouldn't allow 3rd parts apps, also stopped using twitter when Elon changed it x. I still use facebook for friends, family, coworkers and occasionally marketplace.

I still browse reddit but I was banned a long while ago. Guess I thumbed up too many Luigi posts lol
I go here to post (just wish I could find similar threads/subreddit or whatever. I miss posting on niche subjects)

A lot of ignorant people there. I can only hope a lot of it is explainable by bots..
always check sources. always follow the money.

Reddit isn’t social media, YouTube isn’t social media. People started branding anything with a comment thread as social media and it’s nonsensical. Criteria for social media: 1. Must allow following any user 2. Users must not be anonymous 3. Must be able to interact with, chat, send messages to, etc. any user. 4. All of the above must be the main point of the site.
Reddit is a forum of forums. The point is aggregated news feed for different forums. User to user social interaction is not the main point, and the user to user interaction that occurs is forum interaction, which existed decades before social media.
YouTube is a video sharing site. It has comment sections just like any news site.
If YouTube is social media then literally any news site is social media. If Reddit is social media then every forum on the planet is social media. Neither of those things make sense, therefore they’re not social media.
Sorry I just absolutely hate that everyone refers to anything with a comment section as social media now. It completely devalues the word and makes it meaningless.
I think what you're talking about about are social "networking" sites, vs social "media". You could also say that it's a spectrum, some sites are more social media and others more networking.
