Besides the amount of content (and the occasional server issues) on Lemmy I haven’t missed anything about Reddit after switching.
I feel superior

that content keeps me coming back as an unregistered lurker and for much longer than all of the fediverse instances combined.

Yeah, the only thing this needs is more people

Quality time.

Reddit has been no stranger to server issues, remember. Honestly lemmy.ca has been more reliable than reddit…

For me, the only feeling better than dumping Reddit a month or so ago has been when I ditched Facebook years ago.

leaving facebook was easier
Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Well with Facebook for me it was more like a slow decline until I only used it for things I “have” to use it for. Whereas Reddit was a brutal, one day to the next cold turkey kind of thing.
ScrollinMyDayAway@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The only thing I miss about FB was the Birthday reminders.
TheHotze@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I ditched Facebook in 2017, the same time I got a Reddit account. Now I got Lemmy when I left Reddit.
GladiusB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I dumped FB after George Floyd. The stupidity of some people was just too much. I had Reddit but there is something to anonymity. I think I pay more attention to the content of the comments. I dunno. Maybe it’s me.

Have you switched to Firefox for privacy? Sold your gas guzzler and started biking so you aren’t climate changing? Canceled Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Xed Twitter so you aren’t ripped off? Installed bidets so you aren’t killing trees to wipe your shit?
I’m unimpressed.
EddoWagt@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Still love my car, but public transit for commute is the way. Die the rest, actually yeah, apart from the bidet. I saw that on Reddit all the time too, maybe it really is such a life changer. Did you know they are really cheap and can be bought as add-ons to your existing toilet?

One real effect of leaving Reddit is I spend so much less time on my phone. I love that. Part of it is because my favorite communities haven’t come over to Lemmy, which I don’t love.
imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Reading Lemmy is like a newspaper. After 20-30 min you are kind of finished with the days posts.
Makeshift@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
That’s a nice thing for me so far. Instead of endless hours wasted, it’s a little peek here and there. See some news, enjoy some memes, and move on.

I went back to comment on a few posts a week ago before remembering how hostile a lot of the community and moderators are

Welcome to the banned club
CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 1 year ago
Not even banned I’d just get my comments removed for linking a mobile link, the wrong wiki, or a video example of what I was talking about
TheDarkKnight@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Lol I still check it on PC sometimes but Lemmy has completely replaced it on mobile for me.
restingboredface@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Same. I still have pangs of grief over doomscrolling reddit (via Boost, RIP) and getting lost in nonsense like best of redditor updates.
That said, I spend WAY less time on my phone now, which is definitely a healthy thing

I left Reddit, the second I learned what was happening. Haven’t looked back
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It feels good. The atmosphere is so much better here, even if the content is slower.
I wasn’t a poster on reddit, but I’m motivated to contribute to the posts here, especially to niche communities I enjoy when I find them.
SteadyGoLucky@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Landed gentry rejoice

Image Transcription:
A scene from The Twilight Saga: New Moon showing three vampires, Caius, Aro, and Marcus, in gold-brown Rococo era garb looking judgmentally down their noses at the viewer. Above the image is the caption: What I look like, because I haven’t been browsing Reddit for over a month.

Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What the hell, this pic is from twilight? Cant speak for the rest of the movies but this pic goes hard. Might singlehandedly convince me to watch the movies, just to see the context of this image, if not for anything else.
schema@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The books have a few very interesting ideas, like the leader vampire society that feasts on whole tourist groups. Or a vampire during the civil war. Unfortunately, it’s mostly fluff and never expanded upon.
spader312@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Those guys are like the leaders of the vampires. They live in Brazil and make the rules and and they punish any one who breaks them
3laws@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Good human.
Btw, I was a member of r/transcribers. Is there a big enough community in here already?
Transcriptionist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m not aware of an official community, but you’re welcome to transcribe images you come across if they haven’t already been done. It seems more common for people to transcribe their own images here on Lemmy, which is nice.
Lightning66@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel happy to switch to lemmy over reddit.
XiELEd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haven’t logged in on Reddit for a while. It feels good not to doomscroll for hours a day. Lemmy is less addicting and less time-wasting and actually has valuable comments whereas Reddit’s comment section is mostly pure garbage that I feel compelled to upvote (probably my compulsive tendencies though). But I still use Reddit to search up stuff, however on Old Reddit I think they added a feature where they put recommended posts IN THE COMMENT SECTION and you have to scroll for a while to access the other comments. Idk if that’s new or it’s something I just noticed but that’s such an asshole design.

clearedtoland@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I caved. I went back and created a new account in place of the one I deleted. Lemmy is content light at the moment.
I feel ashamed.
Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I haven’t, but because I’m banned
Default_Defect@midwest.social 1 year ago
Does it count if I only dipped in because the answer to a question i needed was only on reddit? I was there for like 2 seconds.
ph00p@lemmy.world 1 year ago
EH, nothing wrong with reddit, the entire exodus was stupid for the average shmuck to care about.
Reddit is going into the shitter for other reasons, like being dominated by upvote bots.
AbsolutelyNotCats@lemdro.id 1 year ago
It’s a fact, that’s like a totally sober guy looking at a crack head.
