Have a look at lemmit.online, it copies reddit's content through a bot and deserves to be more known.

There's definitely some Reddit communities I miss. In fact, I recently redownloaded Reddit on my phone to get my fix. Granted, a lot of the communities I miss are NSFW anyway, so Reddit doesn't get any money from me using them.

I added some small/niche subs to my RSS reader. If something gets posted I'll take a look, but I'm not spending time browsing and getting sucked in anymore.

I agree 100%. I set up a home server after reddit fell, and unfortunately I've been having to use reddit to ask a lot of my questions. The communities for the stuff I need to ask here on Lemmy just don't exist, and on reddit they do, and you'll get responses pretty quickly.

For any kind of programming questions reddit has been far better than lemmy simply because it is significantly more populated.

I miss the content on Reddit for sure. There really isn't enough people on Lemmy to get that amount of niche topics. But if Lemmy bores me out too much I think I just won't try a different place. When I quit Reddit I promised I would try touching grass more often and I'll fully commit.

I went from being on reddit daily to not opening it for almost 2 or 3 weeks now. I haven't had an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway

Haven't been back

the only content im missing is from 1001albumsgenerator subreddit because that was already a pretty small subreddit and theres no way itll get to that size on here. so i check every few days to see whats on there

These types of posts feel like they need a density of users to emerge and lemmy might just not have hit that tipping point yet. I have see it in non-reddit niche forums and I think it will just take some time.

I think the main search engines redirect a lot of traffic to R. Not sure why, but its apparant.

Nope. I actually post link instead of just waiting for people to post them.

Also, sorting by "new" helps a lot

Just visit the specific subreddits with content that your after using bookmarks while you also use Lemmy. There's no sides to this stuff that you have to choose between.

There is technical content on Reddit that is higher quality than stackoverflow and the rest of the internet has been enshittified. So I’ll still take Reddit search hits over most anything else.

I did reinstall Infinity a few times. But the limit on viewed posts is a good way to keep me away.

I hear ya. There's just no one here. I don't like anime and I'm not a communist so there goes half of the subs. The other half are either news related or empty. I never engaged in conversation much on reddit but the comments were always where you got the best info and links. That was half the reason I liked reddit and lemmy doesn't have that at all. I'm still here because I'm stubborn but unless there is a growth spurt coming soon I probably won't be much longer.

I still browse reddit occasionally to watch videos like/r/crazyfuckingvideos or to read discussion on thr war /r/credibledefense or certain game subs like /r/chess or /r/slaythespire

I haven't made a comment or voted on anything since the API change though. All of the content I generate going forward will go exclusively to Fediverse.

No. With a Lemmy account, and some careful bookmarks, I am fully entertained here.

There is one short story author on Reddit I like to follow. Likely to follow them on another site instead.

lately I read some post after googling for howtos but without logging it, blocking trackers and ads as always; I go there only if it's the only resource I find
