After the api changes I noticed many of the subs were mere shells of their former selves, even ones with no c/ counterparts yet

IMHO reddit's been declining for quite a while. The only reason it was less noticeable was repost/comment bots.

I mean, a subreddit like /r/videos which claimed to have 30 millions subscribers, but the top post would often have no more than 200 upvotes.

Very little original content either. Askreddit is mostly reposts, elsewhere it's reposts from facebook, twitter and snapchat. You notice the decline less when you're on reddit daily. Take a longer break, and it becomes more noticeable.

Sure there are less people here, but at least you know you're likely interacting with a human. On reddit I'd often see people interacting with comment bots who'd copy pasted the top comment.

Pretty depressing if interacting with a bot is what you do to fulfill the human need for social connection and validation.

And on lemmy, a few weeks ago they went and deleted so many bot accounts to prevent vote manipulation that the total number of accounts actually decreased sharply for a few seconds and then continued growing as usual

I noticed r/all has changed drastically and showing less popular subs.

I noticed you’re still giving them views.

How’s that protest going?

No need to give them crap for checking on Reddit, not every community has moved here yet, and it’s not that bad to use both.

Still dealing with weirdos on Lemmy who have nothing better to do than stalk my profile and try to pick fights with me elsewhere if I dare to disagree with them on a post, so not much has changed...

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 1- No brigading.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
