I’ve noticed that most people here are ex-redditors, migrating due to the API changes and u/spez’s problematic leadership. I’m wondering, though, how many people here use Lemmy despite never using Reddit?

Personally, I only ever interacted with r/place, and lurked a few times, but I kept up with the protests and I liked the idea of building up Lemmy as a Fediverse alternative for Redditors to migrate to. So I’m not sure if I count.

@Firefly7 me. never liked reddit much, all due respect to #aaronswarz (which is A LOT of respect). not even enough to make a test account. though it did show up in internet searches of how-to's a fair bit over the years.

i'd been looking at some things there recently though, through libreddit, cos i'd just found out about libreddit. then protests, etc.

kind of liked lemmy the 1st time i checked it out briefly, which never happened with reddit. it's got me taking a fresh look at the entire fediverse again.

What was it that you disliked that made you avoid it entirely?

@fiat_lux 🤔i don't know... just an absence of anything (or enough things) i definitely did like, i guess? i dunno. it just never made a good impression - neither the ui nor the conversation. any visit there seemed appropriately fleeting. 🏃
