You mean, left reddit when shit hit the fan?
I’m one of them. It’s going great here. Was just pointed to a new community for Lemmy addons that looks super helpful: !plugins@sh.itjust.works
I’m never going back. There’s good interactions and engagement, and the content is growing every day.
This plugin community is so cool, thanks for sharing!
And now there’s infinity for Lemmy so it feels right as well
There’s less content on lemmy, but I’m sticking around because I can still get articles and discussions and I don’t have to be staring at my phone or computer all the time anyway. We all make up these communities online and some asshole treating it as his personal property isn’t something we should have to suffer. I’ll take less content if it spares me the indignity of letting guys like that win.
Yeah and I don’t miss it either. Too many people on that sub, started to just be generic stupid shit
The discussions here are already clearly better
I’ve popped back on several occasions and the signal to noise ratio over there makes me nauseous.
It’s absolute garbage and even if you dig into some threads, the comments are reactionary and argumentative.
I moved to Lemmy soon after the blackout. Lemmy needs more attention and the Fediverse needs to be ready for new exodus in case Reddit f*cks up again.
I don’t intend to go back to Reddit because of their shitty admins and android app. I’m happy with content made on Lemmy.
Sadly some communities I used to browse on Reddit are deserted on Lemmy.
The only blame I can have is that I was and always am a lurker. I barely comment and almost never post.
Time to step up and start posting. Be the change you want to see.

Used to (mostly) lurk on Reddit, now I lurk here.
I finally bailed on Reddit too. There’s no reason to be on a centralized, for profit platform while we ride out the end of civilization. I wish each and every one of you the best possible conclusion to this wild human experience.
I am here as a Reddit refugee. I’ve noticed a lot of the communities here that interest me haven’t hit any sort of critical mass for participation sadly…but I check in most days anyway.

How do I write that link in the ! format?

I also move from Reddit then to Tildes now to Lemmy.
Tildes is just another Reddit with a dictator for life similar to Spez.
Of course. Maybe I’ve been happier not reading the worst of people.
That makes two of us.
Yay
https://mlmym.org/feddit.uk/ i’ll never go back to reddit, i always used old.reddit and here is a skin that makes lemmy look just the same!
A few isntances have the mlmym frontend implemented i.e https://old.lemmy.world
Me. I’m finding that the content here is better at the moment. It was a bit of a challenge at first, and I kept going back to reddit. Last week I decided to delete the reddit app (not my account) for one week to force more engagement with Lemmy and I’m happy so far. I’m missing some of the bigger subs, like the NBA sub and more subs local to my home city, but overall I’m happy. I’m going to probably have to install reddit again for those subs I mentioned, but think I’ll be defaulting to Lemmy for general use
I stopped modding /r/collapse years ago since I disagreed where the community was going and it wasn’t worth it to fight out. I hope we can achieve better quality here long-term though unfortunately I haven’t got a lot of spare time to participate.
Where was the community going and why is it better here?
The quality has been steadily declining and the moderators picked the wrong approach: even more rules and automation instead of purely manual content curation.
It is better here because there are just two mods, the community is small, pre-filtered (early adopters) so not degraded yet. It depends on all of us where we can take it.

I stayed on Redfit as long as Joey kept working. Once it didn’t anymore I came here.
Yep! Hoping the chatter will increase here!
We only need a relatively small number of steady quality contributors to make it work. Adding more members will just degrade the signal/noise ratio.
I’ve left /r/collapse a long time ago and reduced Reddit engagement years back. Gone completely since the API changes.
Let’s see what we can build in Lemmyland together.
