I used to be a lot more active on Reddit. But I forbid myself from downloading the app, so as for now, Lemmy is the social network where I interact the most.
I'll jump in under your comment because it's the same. Refuse to download Reddit app so my usage there is way down. Over 13 or 14 years I was fairly active. Here, I'm moderately so, but due mainly to my feed being probably proportionately inactive.
Yeah if Lemmy ever hits whatever saturation point is needed that niche communities are more relevant my participation will increase. As it is I'm honestly having to visit reddit occasionally to get answers from those niche type communities because they are simply non-existent here. There is nowhere but reddit to interact with these groups, as much as I hate that.
I'm with you. But I also don't see the level of infiltration by undesirables (bots, mainly) in the niche subs, an so they stay to an extent as they always have been. But it is a when not an if they decline. Hopefully Lemmy picks it up. Or maybe I grow up. One is definitely more likely.
I've been reading that there are ways to roll your own version of some of the old 3rd party apps using your own API key. I might look into it, if only so I am not relegated to using the shit web interface when I do need to check a few things on reddit. I refuse to install their official app though.
