Does everybody thinks that this migration is gonna change peoples mind about not using Reddit anymore ? Here’s hoping.
I’m fucking stoked to see so many people like me (who are pissed at how corporations fuck their own product just to make more money) migrate over here. For once I feel like I actually have a way to “protest” corporations and their greed. I know the vast majority of Reddit users didn’t care, but I know many of us are here to break free from all of that tomfoolery. Just happy to be apart of it. Don’t know how long it will last, but I’m hoping that it does.
me too, but i think im honestly done with reddit. i miss a lot of my niche communities but I created lemmy versions of some and I’m cross posting some top posts from reddit just to get things going a bit.
i see a lot of possibilities with lemmy, there are already some great apps being made (my fave rn is memmy, not quite native ios like apollo, but has a really polished look and gestures feel natural it’s easy to get the hang of)
Yea I’m using Memmy myself. I have never not hated the Reddit app so I’m also done with Reddit as a whole
I thought I used Reddit a lot, but I’ve been rummaging around here waaaaay more than I ever did there.
It’s been driving me nuts for days, but I literally JUST figured it out…
It reminds me of freshman year in college. Everyone is turbo-social and extra considerate. Maybe that’s partly from not knowing who is who, or maybe even not remembering if you’ve met the person you’re talking to because you met so many new people. Everything was fresh and new, and there was that feeling of starting a new journey. Lots of confusion and chaos, but everyone was understanding (“Oh, you’re a freshman. Let me show you…”).
I just want this place to be a new home. Don’t care what others do as long as enough people are making content here.
This feels much more like what the internet should be. Not the realm of giant advertising companies.
Yea I didn’t join reddit because everyone was there, I joined because I found it fun and enjoyable. For me, the quality of the site had been on the decline for awhile but this latest mess was the straw that broke the camels back.
At the moment, lemmy seems to be full of people who care about genuine interaction.
🤷♂️… Let’s just make ourselves a comfortable place here.
I gotta say, the percentage of meta posts here about reddit/Lemmy compared to any other content is really hurting its chances.
Even during the protests, it felt like the percentage of posts on reddit about reddit was maybe 50%. Here it’s 75% or more. We need more normal content on the front of /all, or else this entire site becomes c/lemmycirclejerk or something. I’m hoping as the migration completes we return to more typical content.
I could not care either way. I came here to try a new site, but the constant barrage of meta-reddit posts is kind of ruining it.
Like, yeah, I get it. I had a lot of communities that I’m going to miss, too. But the way past that is to build new comunities here and forget about the old site, not obsess about its downfall like a clingy ex.
