Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?

Nothing as of a few months after they killed third party apps. It took me a couple more months to stop using it as a source.
I stopped ages ago. But my buddies that won’t switch say they are married to the large communities around their interests.
To participate in smaller local/regional communities, because they don’t exist or are basically dead on Lemmy. On reddit, almost every city has it’s own community, while on Lemmy some countries don’t even have communities or just a few people there looking more like a private group chat.
It could be party due to the decentralized nature, every community perhaps has it’s own server, but unless I am able to find it…
Sometimes I will have really obscure tech issues that only 10yr reddit threads can solve. That’s about it though
Yup. The backlog reddit has is currently kinda unbeatable. Although as reddit is increasingly swamped with AI, that’ll become less and less valuable
I mean people much rather ask chatgpt same question 5 times instead of checking reddit now.
Reddit who?
r/politicalcompassmemes
r/IsraelPalestine
r/livestreamfail
r/all
r/popular for select countries.
Nothing. I don’t use it anymore.
It’s still a solid site in search results for answers to video game puzzles or tech questions.
98% off Reddit, I browser Reddit without an account on private tab just for 2-3 subs.
I’m very happy with what Lemmy and in general fediverse gives, I wouldn’t change it.
Edit: if you really want to see more action here, make a community or overtake a community and promote it! We have communities that can help you with that.
I like the “maybemaybemaybe” sub and also just seeing more diverse takes on current topics. Plus the formula1 subreddit has way more discussion.
It’s still a great source of information. I don’t mind visiting the site if it pops up in one my Google searches.
I have a new Reddit account, running on Brave on a VM at work. I use it as a news and pop culture aggregate. I used to post in the big UK sites for well over a decade, but recently got a site wide permanent ban for ban evasion (I hadn’t realised that throwaway accounts were no longer allowed).
My new account has insufficient karma to post (another petty rule), but having been on Lemmy for a few months Reddit now seems cold, hostile and impersonal in comparison.

This drives me up the wall, especially when they don’t even tell you how much you need. I get why they do it, but it just promotes shit-posting in other subreddits for the sole purpose of being able to post in another subreddit.
