Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
I think most of them are back on Reddit.
TL;DR Tbh I think most people just stayed on reddit or are here.
Totally gave up reddit in favour of kbin/lemmy and discuit. I’m quite happy using both at the moment as they serve different purposes: kbin gives access to a lot more content, especially memes and news related so I’m 99% of the time a lurker here.
Discuit is still a very small community and favours more discussion based content, but since they just added image post support that will probably change. There’s only 4k or so accounts and a lot of people who migrated from Squabblr due to the main admin’s attitude or something. It’s mostly a pretty relaxed place with a few rocky moments and the admins are nice, anyone harassing other users gets dealt with pretty quick as it’s still small.I’m generally browsing the news subs which is usually what I did on reddit. I also check out All but comment less often in things I find there because it is just filled with memes after I blocked all the hexbear garbage.
I’m here, but barely. I’ve not went back to Reddit (got IP banned during the migration), but Lemmy is too focused on certain topics for me to enjoy it.
Mainly FOSS and Linux community FLOCKED to Lemmy. You really can’t say anything about anything without people coming out of the woods screaming about how stupid you are, how FOSS is better, and Linux is superior.
Remember the backlash over Sync for Lemmy? Massive hate from the Lemmy community because it wasn’t FOSS. Wouldn’t be shocked if the Boost for Lemmy dev stopped developing his app after seeing that. I feel like Lemmy is shooting itself in the foot and pushing people away.
EDIT: case in point. https://lemmy.ca/comment/3131292
People obsessed with Firefox also. It’s getting old
I’ve only moved back to Firefox because what Google is currently doing with Chrome/Chromium is terrible and harmful.
I will say, Firefox is sluggish and shit, but I refuse to allow Google to fuck over the internet.
Reporting in
still here
Reporting in. Once you spend a bit of time here you will find the things you are familiar with in a different form, Lemmy has its own culture going. Though there are also a bunch of sub replacements, or at least very similar communities.
Though it is of course true that reddit was the internet culture place for a good decade, and that reverberates through to how people communicate, what humor and references they have and make, and so on.
Over time more and more people will migrate, and help to foster new communities here. The fediverse is still in its pioneering stage, so naturally the content is less varied than on reddit, and there are still the occasional technical issues to work out, but overall it’s been a fun two months here. I actually haven’t missed reddit much, just for the occasional ultra specific answer I am looking for.
Also, welcome!
I like when something so freaking random gets re-memed by every instance that day. I feel the comradery.
Sup dood.
I’m here!
I log on about one a week. I forgot why I showed up. I replied to replies and then started scrolling.
Goddamn it. I came here do do something. Fuck.
I’m still on reddit. But only like 5 subs. (stuff important to me that goes way beyond reddit’s idiocy)
So I’ve unsubscribed to everything except those.
My front page on reddit is great. I literally only get those 5 subs.
Good! Use your distracted feelings, boy. Let the scroll flow through you!
https://sub.rehab is a good place to look for former Reddit communities that made the move.
that site has a great interface, lots of ways to sort data in useful ways.
Other sites could learn a thing or two from whoever did their UI

We have linux memes and abstract memes, we hate politicians and we hate climate change. But mostly we have memes.
I’m here still. It is much slower here than reddit, but there are some upsides to that. One is that I spend way less time on my phone, scrolling
That’s what I’m loving about it atm, I can have a quick scroll while I’m waiting for something or go on an adventure through the different communities, I don’t feel like I have to check it all the time. I was pretty addicted to reddit for a while, so this has been great.
Spend a few minutes going through the all communities here, a number of active communities moved across, you just have to look for them.
