    Lemmy is getting better and better at an exponential rate. I still use Reddit but eventually I expect to fully be on Lemmy.

        There’s too many answers over the past decade to abandon reddit completely. Most google searches for specific questions go back to Reddit.

          I’ve heard that Reddit is trying to kill that too so people will use their godawful search feature instead. I got a prompt from the site to take a survey about it sometimes last month and that’s what people were theorizing that it was about.

          I’ve had some searches lead me to old reddit threads where the answers are all deleted a few times since migrating here already. So even that is becoming less true than it used to be.

          Yeah I only get back on Reddit from a search engine hit. And even then I’ll use the cached copy if I can.

        Same here. I do go back for some niche browsing, but mostly over here now.

          I’ll go back there if they have some specific discussion with good info. I.e. Linux, video games, something. But signing in and browsing? No way.

      I also used to rely more on reddit but just came to lemmy and can really see potential that with time will overpass reddit eventually

      I honestly haven’t used Reddit since the API exodus. The only reason I still have an account there is for when I have weird tech issues and the only search results are from old Reddit posts.

      I only check Lemmy a few times a day, (and I tend to browse /all so I’m not limited to only seeing my subscriptions,) so I always have fresh content whenever I open the app. My posts and comments tend to get better engagement on Lemmy anyways. They don’t get buried by power users and karma-farming bots, so I actually get real responses. Nearly every time I open my app, I have three or four comment responses to check.

      I browse old.reddit when I finish a show or movie for review and to touch in on hiphop releases. But without interaction. Lemmy is where I am now, fuck reddit I’m not a complete fuck Spez but they’re a genuinely unlikeable company.
