    Like, 30 minutes in. So far the front page is a breath of fresh air. Reddit is unusable as of a few months ago. Just trash on top of trash.

    Me after trying to find a Reddit alternative and I stumble across Lemmy.

    I made an alt account for when I actually need to use reddit to ask something in a hobby group that I used to participate in, but I no longer participate in reddit overall, comment or contribute in the groups I formerly patronized. Just noticed that today’s my cake day here - the day I left reddit.

    I would like to fully move over, but unfortunately most of my hobbies and things I’m into just don’t have a large enough audience to have an active designated group for.

    There’s a Dead by Daylight one on here, but the last post was like a few months ago, and then after that almost a year. I’m also super into modded minecraft, but all those ones are botted reddit repost rippers. I haven’t looked yet, but I heavily doubt Hypixel SkyBlock is gonna show up.

    Unfortunately, my lust to see idiots make a fool of themselves in public spaces is too strong to keep me away from reddit, and therefore, I become the fool.

      I feel that. And I mean, sure, those communities don’t exist… yet… But maybe someone could create them and see who shows up. ;)

      It’s been 2 years for me, and I never went back. Well, aside from looking up the random tech question here and there since Reddit is in every search result. (Use redlib to view reddit stuff!) I am quite liking the fediverse. It has this early Internet forum vibe to it. I kinda hope it stays small for a little while longer. More people probably means more enshittification.

      I’m non-binary and don’t commune with binary choices.

      I can be in parallel on Reddit and Lemmy. Eventually I may feel totally comfortable in one of them to ditch the other, or maybe not. Who cares?

      Plus there are two sides for users in social media, producer and consumer.

      I can be on Insta as a consumer checking what my friends are up to and on pixelfed posting my pictures and sharing the links with my friends.

    After a while, you realize this place is not perfect either. Too much Linux (although I’m on Linux now), too much “voter suppression” messages from the left (which I’m no longer), tankies or whatever, I could swear I’ve seen several anti-Japanese/racist posts and the same crypto drivel you’d find on reddit.
