I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Hello Lemmy

    I still use Reddit. Lemmy still doesn’t have a lot of the communities I know and love on Reddit.

    Never used Twitter.

      yea i use both, there’s many communites on reddit that just straight up dont exist here yet, not to mention that lemmy still has things to improve UX wise

      i do hope lemmy grows though, i interact on here way more than on reddit especially after the protests

        Time will tell. Lemmy needs more users and more content. Feels like Reddit from the late 2000s right now. The demographic is mostly male/tech-literate and the only threads that get responses are tech and gaming subjects.

      Check out the website sub.rehab It shows Lemmyverse communities which are replacements for subreddits. Not all subreddits exist over here but a lot of the bigger ones do

        Some of the local subs I read have presences on Lemmy but no content. Most normies are still using Reddit.

          This is how it was in the earlier days of Reddit, with folks mixing in their use alongside Digg until eventually fully committing.

      Same, a lot of people acting like you have to use one or the other its just silly. Clearly lemmy isn’t big enough to contain all of the niche news and updates from various communities yet and that’s fine. As lemmy hopefully grows then I’ll shift over here but in the meantime reddit is still better for content, anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves lol.
