I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.
I’ve tried explaining Lemmy to people and they do not understand. They are like “just use reddit bro”
I stopped using Reddit when the API protests happened and haven’t gone back. I honestly think Lemmy is far superior. I love seeing and interacting with the same people in varying threads. Feels like an actual community.
“Reddit but run by non profits” is the simplest I find, even though that’s not completely accurate
I am halfway through. I deleted my old account and tried to use Lemmy, but formula1 is dead here and only on Reddit I find my dose of heroin news
The bargain I’ve made with myself is that Reddit is now a read-only adblock-only resource for me, and I’m prepared for it to go away on it’s own. I don’t post there, but I was active in several niche communities, and was a voice in the crowd on a few more popular ones (sportsball related) that don’t get a ton of traction here (though this college football season was fun. Hang in there, !cfb@fanaticus.social ), and I’m not going to completely give up checking in on things, but I engage on the Fediverse and a few forums full of crotchety old bastards who never “got” reddit in the first place.
