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an issue content wise, sure there is some decent informational on the site but, I find a lot of information on it to be outdated anyway

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.

DDG search still pull it up, so I have to go out of my way to search for stuff here first

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.

There are a couple of subreddits that I still visit. My usage has dropped to a tiny fraction of what it used to be. In fact I think Reddit shitting the bed has been good for me overall as I'm spending a lot less time scrolling random shit.

Only problem i have with lemmy is that after scrolling for a bit i end up wading through posts with 0 comments and 2 upvotes, which are inevitably just links to something i do not give a singular toss about.

But that's honestly kinda just good, it forces me to not just stare at my computer nonstop.

I'm not giving up Reddit purely because it's more fun, more diverse and better designed.

I used to use libreddit or teddit. But they are unviable now because of the amount of requests. So I sometimes try to check if there is something interesting about SSBM, which is the only subreddit that is not on lemmy which I'm kind of interested in, but I get the same error many of the times. But it doesn't really matter, if you ignore reddit's existence, you will feel no attachment to it.

Yes. I also quit R after all the bs. There a hole in my internet heart and nothing to fill it with

Most Reddit content is repost bots and stormfront.

Yeah. 99% of the time, I can use Lemmy for everything I used to use Reddit for, but if I miss a goal in the games of my favourite football club, I still turn to r/soccer to watch the replay before the disgustingly overzealous Premier League lawyers pounce..

No. Reddit was trash, there really is good content here, so why go back to the trash?

Nah, My preference setting is "All, new" and there is some wild shit on here. Lots of international instances I would never get to see because of some "algorithm".

OP, make some more recommendations for communities you want to see. Ask instance admins for help grtting those communities to start being active. And crosspost them to "discovery" boards.

I am sorta having this issue - some boards I like don't wanna have deep discussions, and I do. I'm like, so lame, if you tell me to watch a show or read a book to come back and discuss, you're probably doing me a favor.

Nope, checked out July first and never looked back.

Nah
