I still hang out mostly on Reddit. As much as the site’s gone downhill, I’m mostly active on the fandom-specific subs, which don’t have nearly as much of a presence on Lemmy. The general meme communities have been flourishing, but the fandom communities are basically ghost towns, and even those that see a bare minimum of activity are far from enough to pop up in my feed. Right now, /r/yugioh has ten times as many online users as /c/yugioh has subscribers period - and that’s one of the more active niche communities I follow! I’ll still be keeping an eye on Lemmy and post to both sites when I can, but we’ve got a lot more growing to do before I’m ready to finally ditch Reddit.
Also, Reddit has the hentai. The specific fandom subs at least have small barely-active communities here but their NSFW counterparts are totally nonexistent.
Given it feels like Reddit is getting rid of NSFW content (API changes on that too) - maybe try finding other locations for that content? I’m honestly surprised how many people used reddit for that kind of content. Never would have occurred to me lol.
There’s a few things that I follow that do have communities here, but little to no engagement in those communities. I’ll occasionally get on to look at those subreddits for updates, but I don’t have an account anymore so I don’t log in and I don’t engage with the communities. I also use RES so they don’t get any of my advertising revenue. Someone had linked a read only Reddit client before but I can’t remember what it was, If anyone does remember let me know so I can switch to that.
Please check the sidebar for the rules - we aren’t able to help you out with support questions. There’s a list of suggested communities that can help you out in the sidebar.
I’m from feddit.nu, the swedish instance. Or at least one of them, there might be more swedish instances I am not aware of. I like it because I can find local content and post in swedish.
I think everyone should aim to find a smaller instance where they feel like they belong to and create their account there.
There’s no reason to have a federated system if everyone uses the same 3 large instances.
Sad part of the design is that I need to interact with a post to get it off my feed so if it’s an some stupid meme or whatever i just downvote and move on to clear up all the repeats.
The setting is off by default but you turn on hide post after interaction in the settings.
No, and honestly don’t really miss it. Lemmy is fine for what I need it for. Sometimes if I search for an answer I’ll get a result that happens to be on Reddit so if that counts then so be it.
Not unless a search result sends me there. Although I’ll admit there’s a couple hobby related subs I’ll check once a week for news, but that’s about it, dropped it completely otherwise.
