Beans for president!
He is right, but I don’t see any problem with it. Personally I prefer lemmy to Reddit, but I still go back to Reddit due to the lack of content here. It will probably be a gradual transition where I completely stop using Reddit, and I am fine with it.

Not an exact quote, but close enough 😂.
I was still giving Reddit 5-10 minutes a day, but honest to god the last few times it’s all just been really meh. I haven’t been on in a few days and I’m feeling fine without it. Also helps that I spent the weekend spinning up my own Lemmy instance, so I was plenty distracted.
That’s besides the point though, tell me how you feel about beans?
I really just spent 5 min creating a lemmy account and subscribing to the sublemmies(? pages? what do we even call the subreddits of lemmy) I found interesting. Perhaps I’ll invest some time setting up my own instance
It was a full weekend job for me, a non-programmer and Windows daily driver. I work in IT but this brought me outside my comfort zone for sure. In a good way.
The fun starts here if you wanna go for it!
edit: oh and we call them communities!
I’m probably going to be downvoted into oblivion for this, but Bush’s Best are way better beans than Heinz. I grew up in Heinz beans but discovered Bush’s Best due to dating someone who grew up on better beans. More recently I bought some Heinz beans on sale but I should have just spent the extra 42 cents on good beans.
I meant to reply to your comment with this, but instead accidentally made a separate comment:
There definitely needs to be more content, or more specifically more niche content.
There are some communities I would like to see that I don’t believe exist (like Hobbydrama) which is disappointing.
People always reply “dude, just create one” but it’s really not that simple for a few different reasons.
First, I don’t even think we can create communities on sh.itjust.works instance right now. Second, I don’t know how to moderate an instance and don’t really have the time to learn. Third, the community would be barren unless someone just rips off like the top 30 posts from that subreddit, and I don’t have an account to reach out to the redditors to ask for their permission (and I really dont want to piss off the people actually creating the content so they are so jaded they never want to come over to Lemmy/the community).
