/kbin and lemmy might be not perfect yet, but I am glad that I am here and not on Reddit.
agreed. this has been really fun the last few days. it feels more like a community to me than reddit ever did.
I’ve enjoyed stumbling into the same people every now and then like I did, believe it or not, at one time on reddit…
It really does! I hadn’t realised how much I just wasn’t engaging with reddit and just lurking. The community here seems much better, although I’m missing my more active niche subreddits. Still early days though!
I find I’m getting far less interaction.
On reddit I could make a few comments a day and get a handful of replies, whereas here I’ve had like two. No chance for engagement but it’s a small user base.
It’s early days, and we have to give the place a chance to grow and develop. The best advice I’ve seen in here is not to lurk and build content and communities, which is what I’ve been trying to do at least.
Also weirdly, I had a notification that you had replied but then when I clicked on the notification I couldn’t find you reply? So maybe a bug?
I just bit the bullet and created an account here after a couple days of lurking. I read that spez upped his asshole factor again, if that’s even possible, and my personal blackout is still ongoing. There’s some communities I miss but I think the universe was telling me to move on in its own way. I’d scroll for hours and hours, and I know that’s not good for me.
I’m trying this place out, along with Squabble. I’m taking a short period each morning(after the initial 2 days) to poke at any of my Reddit subs that are open, to see where they are and if there’s another blackout poll.(voted indefinite in two of those so far). Not sure how long I’m gonna keep poking in.
Apart from the interview he gave, was there other spez assholery?
welcome. I didn’t end up deleting my reddit account (and I still go on there a little) but yeah, it’s super cozy here on the threadiverse.
The amount of doubling and tripling down is impressive, it’s as if someone has even less tact than Elon Musk at attempting to address concerns of the community. It would almost be better at this point if they just straight up said it’s because they have a change in business strategy and just be honest that they’re making it effectively impossible for 3rd party apps to operate so they can make more money.
