    All it takes is people going elsewhere and they are worth nothing. Reddit isn’t like Twitter, where it’s all about you. I came here, have the same conversations, and haven’t even noticed I’m not on Reddit any longer.

      I used to be pretty big into Reddit. I haven’t been back in almost a year except a couple of google search results. I do notice a difference though. There is less diversity in expressed thoughts here. I don’t miss the doomscrolling though, I can run out of new content here and I like that.

        Also because there is less content its more meaningful. There’s a lot of fluff and garbage on Reddit just so people can get karma.

        Totally in the same boat. Less diversity and less content, but I don’t mind that. I like that I can can run out of content and it’s a nice reminder I’ve probably been on my phone too much and should do something else with my time. Using Lemmy feels healthier than using Reddit.

      I have, I’ve noticed. I’ve noticed that I’m no longer screaming out in a sea of people and being ignored or ridiculed. We’re in a smaller pond here and the waters are much clearer

      That’s it, it’s just the userbase size. I still unfortunately have to type ‘Reddit’ after any question I throw at a search engine but that is on the useless search engines and not indicative of Reddit being a great platform.

      I first used Reddit over ten years ago. It was SO much better before the Digg implosion, and Lemmy reminds me of Reddit pre-digg days. Quality over quantity.
