    Honestly Reddit doesn’t infuriate me anymore. I haven’t been on reddit for 2 weeks now and I no longer feel the urge to check that site. I expect I’ll still end up there occasionally when I search for stuff, but gone are the days when I spend an hour or two every night on reddit.

        That’s actually been my experience as well lol.

        I did actually deliberately jump on reddit on desktop recently, just to check on a few things and see how the protests were going.

        There wasn’t really anything informative on the front page that hadn’t already been posted here. The quality of posts actually seemed worse overall

      The only sub I go to now is my local city’s subreddit for a good stream of local news and happenings. That hasn’t migrated to Lemmy yet and I don’t want to moderate it so I’m not making it here lol

    Can we all just leave the Reddit chatter to the Reddit or Redditmigration communities at this point please? If not yet, then maybe soon? This ex-partner behavior is just going to turn off new people from joining in the long run.

      Yes! It seems that half the community posts on here are just Reddit-bashing and that isn’t going to drive engagement at all.

    Great news.

    I only ever used Reddit in Firefox on desktop anyway - but now I use it a whole lot less (maybe just one reply per day trolling people with interesting posts they’d be better posting here).

    Lemmy is a shit-show… but it’s OUR shit-show and we’ll adjust, and clever people will develop.

      Right on man. My last comment on R3dd!t told people the amount of time they spent figuring out how to still use 3rd party apps, they can direct that effort into learning how to participate in the Fediverse. Got a hundred-ish downvotes so that means a hundred people now know Lemmy exists.

      Although commonly known as a baby kangaroo, a joey is basically a baby marsupial. So that can include koala, opossum, wombat, etc.

      Even the PCMR community understands there are times a computer is overkill. You gonna lug your desktop around in your pocket for daily communication? Set up your laptop on a TV tray in from of your recliner? No, there are literal devices meant for both those situations.

    Probably for the best.

    I may use Reddit through the browser on occasion while googling (but without logging in). My Reddit activity has dropped 99%. The 1% is lurking the World News thread to follow Ukraine war updates while logged out.

      Exactly what I’m doing. That and the UkraineConflict subreddit. Have to use old subdomain to get in without logging in. I won’t comment anymore.
