I go on Reddit for one sub and one sub only. Other than that, I don’t care about the site. Notifications are blocked and I’ve hidden my bookmarks from myself.
You should check out this tool then

Reddit without all the bullshit and mobile friendly
Just a blank page for me…
If you’re still using Reddit, please be a homie and spread the fediverse gospel
I will. But I do want to say that it’s my personal opinion, that yes, we definitely should grow as a community with more reddit refugees, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing to grow relatively slowly. On the technological side, we need the infrastructure growth to match the user base growth. Maybe even more importantly, I think most of us will agree we want to take the good of reddit with us, but definitely not the toxicity. Copy pasting the whole user base to the fediverse could lead to also copy pasting the culture that exists over there now. The thing I most enjoy on Lemmy is definitely the general vibe over the content for now, and that is pretty special on the Internet.
Also, we don’t necessarily need a big userbase. Just a good active one. More is not necessarily better in my opinion.
Smaller is also much more manageable.
Bluesky is super-fun right now, because it’s got just enough folks to generate varied content, and everyone is playing ball on the same level.
Bluesky is proprietary garbage, not free and with limited access.
If we want to be free we have an alternative to twitter/bluesky called nostr.
Let’s not encourage golden cages and we won’t have to regret it later when the obvious happens.
The nostr community reminds me a lot of the current state of lemmy, I hope with the growth of both communities it doesn’t get lost.
I just checked it out. LOL no they aren’t. Reddit is still thriving.
yeah, it’s some pretty serious copium to think reddit was massively affected by the protests. Sadly, they were not
but all I can do is leave and enjoy lemmy so fuck em
Several subs that I frequented are gone. The biggest pain to me is probably caused by the loss of Transcribers for Reddit. The group behind it basically disbanded at the end of june.
I stopped going to Reddit for the most part when RIF died. I only hit r/ukraine now because of whats happening there and its one of the best to get information. If there was any where else I could go, then Reddit would be dead to me.
Funny enough, my phone told me on Sunday that I used it 9 hours less than I had the week before, which was down about 4 hours. So I really need to thank Spez for giving me that much of my life back.
Yeah, for me it’s the various subs like Ukraine, ukrainewarvideoreport, combatfootage, ncd I visited that I miss the most. Here on Lemmy these subs exist but the have maybe 10% of the activity.
Not sure what this place will evolve in to but it seems like a nice replacement for Reddit. There is a lot of work to be done for people to re-build the communities and transfer the information but if enough people buy in to it… years down the road this could be the place to be.
I agree, Rome wasn’t build in a day, it takes consistent effort to create a thriving community.
We just need to fortify against the invading “Barbarian Hordes” (I mean Zuccs and Eloy)
I did, I only check the very niche subs once very few days, but it’s like returning to the still smoldering ruins of your burnt down home town, talking to the survivors…
My time on Reddit died simultaneously with Apollo. I’m doing what I can by not giving that place anymore traffic from me.
Found out about Lemmy yesterday. While it’s not there with niche interests at this point, it definitely cures the itch.
You want to stick it to the man? Quit going there altogether people!
