  • So, how do we think this ends?

  • I want to add, that my wife has been a "scab" throughout all this and has been active on reddit, trying to show me memes and such.

    The content she's been showing me has been stale, old stuff I saw back in 2020. Same recycled jokes, same memes. Reddit is in a mode of hard cope right now and I doubt it gets better if we don't return.

  • Squabbles seems to have not hit user critical mass. Tildes looks like it's doing well.

    The Lemmy + Kbin fediverse seems to be taking off like a rocket and has the best overall chance IMO of becoming the home for the best parts of Reddit's community.

  • What happened when people switched to reddit?

  • Reddit back then was like a blend of what content we're seeing on the "chat" communities here on Lemmy, and what Hacker News is today. It was much more technology oriented, and much less topical.

    Subreddits existed, but ones for smaller fandoms and narrowly focused meme formats did not.

  • Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?

  • I hope the #RedditMigration sours adoption

    I think you meant spurs lol

    Anyway yeah I'm liking Lemmy and the fediverse so far. I actually prefer the UI/UX of https://kbin.social more for desktop, but Jerboa is great for mobile. If they stay actively in development it's going to be hard to beat IMO

    I've followed from Fark to StumbleUpon to Digg to Reddit, and now many years later, to Lemmy. I think the communities being spread across instances is extremely powerful for overall global community resiliency (if the separation is respected and we don't end up with a bunch of duplicated "subs" everywhere).

    I'm sure you've heard plenty of people say this today, but the one thing I feel the most is excitement. The chaos reminds me of the early-ish days (~1996?) of the web when everything was discoverable and not already aggregated to be served up to you inbetween advertisements.
