So as the title says, I feel like I can’t 100% leave Reddit till there is somewhat more community & content in the Fediverse alternative. Don’t get me wrong I feel the Fediverse is a wonderful idea that could be a great replacement for Reddit as well as other mainstream media but how do I move across if most of the content as well as active posters are on Reddit?
Get used to less. It’s good for you not to be able to scroll infinitely.
Switching to Lemmy was a great deal for me in terms of time management.
It seems like Lemmy’s picking up anyhow. I was here a bit ago before the Reddit sale and opted not to stay as the activity here seemed sparse. I’ve come back recently as I’ve noticed a disturbing trend at Reddit after their sale where commenters/upvoters suddenly have a “more positive” take on tech and AI, and there’s increased bashing on commentors who express concerns about the future (particularly if it’s AI-related). This happened heavily in subs where there was either a very balanced view or heightened lean towards concern for the future. I have one private sub I regularly visit, but after some lurking, I’m considering migrating to here and Diggit permanently.
@[email protected] I’m not trying to infinitely scroll but sometimes I like to have information about some of the games or tools I am trying to use, a good portion of them are on Reddit sadly.
Depends somehow, there could be more. But in reddit you couldn’t be seeing everything anyway either. I feel like there’s enough for me here to not need to be checking back on reddit.
Steal content from Reddit and post here. Or use Mastodon, Twitter, etc etc. The more we do it here, the more you will be able to eventually sit back and scroll.
@fossilesque So basically what Reddit does with other parts of the Internet anyway lol
Link aggregators gonna aggregate.
I definitely feel the same way. I check reddit maybe once or twice a week, and mostly just for a couple smaller communities that don’t have any content on the fediverse. I stick to fedi for mindless scrolling, though.
@bridge_too_close My use of Reddit mainly consists of Local Subs that don’t want to move across due to the long history on Reddit (That and some of the people are old and don’t know how to use Reddit right let alone the Fediverse) and subs that are for helping in Games or Apps that I use on a regular basis.
I just left and never went back as a principal, sure there isn’t as much content here but at least I’m not in reddit. Now I swap between some mobile games, lemmy and other stuff, I setup an rss reader to pull in updates from a bunch of stuff I’ve always wanted to catch up on but just never seem to like MotoGP or little wierd thing like micromouse race or local news papers
@[email protected] Nice, I hope I can find my place on the fediverse like you have, seems like I have some things to sort out when it comes to tools and stuff that I like using.
Reddit has fallen into a fetish cycle and that’s where most content comes from. People here post less content but it’s more interesting and the conversation is better.
I was never on reddit, what does that look like
