I have been using Reddit for the last couple of years. It feels like it got worse ever since u/spez banned 3rd party clients which requires me to use revanced reddit now. Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad. This is just pure censorship at this point. And you want to know the best part Reddit has done NOTHING to stop this issue.
i’m surprised I quit reddit cold turkey and never looked back, i was fairly addicted to that place. reddit was getting bad before 2023, when i left, but at that point was getting clear that wasn’t getting any better
Lemmy really helped scratch the Reddit itch. I was lucky enough that my app of choice (boost) was also available for Lemmy, so the transition was pretty seamless (actually, more seamless than it would’ve been sticking with Reddit, since I left over the API shit, which would’ve forced me over to their half-baked app).
The only thing I really miss is the sheer volume of users, especially in more niche communities, but the posts on Lemmy imo tend to be more quality over quantity than Reddit, so that helps.
Always remember Alien Blue. That was a great app until spaz and co bought it.
Same same Boost bro :)
yea im a ton of niche subs, that isnt on lemmy unforunately,.
Create the niche subs and fill with some content. Then hopefully other users will join.
I mean all y’all are generally less likely to be expressing your anal glands on the internet here. I like it.
I totally know what you mean, but it is kinda funny to say you quit cold turkey on a structurally identical platform lol
Tepid pheasant?
frigid poultry.
Getting rid of Apollo support was my final straw.
I only use it for reviews of products or answers to questions about Linux. But the Linux community is getting stronger here on Lemmy
Lots of activity over at programming.dev
It feels like actual people too. Thats nice.
