Turns out that Reddit is a lot easier to quit than most people claim or realize. I still end up there from web searches occasionally, because some communities just don’t exist in lemmy (also lemmy frankly sucks as a place for finding niche communities due to fragmentation and shitty search tools). But besides that, there’s nothing particularly compelling about reddit anymore.
I wonder where people are going though? They’re definitely not coming here unless they’re an adult male technology/linux nerd.
I'm a woman who has never used linux
Still post here. Gotta get those niche communities some use.
I know I've won when my fetish communities are here
Yes, fetish good.
I'm a bit lost there too.
I need my body swap, fat fur, and breast expansion instances
Um excuse me we also have knitters .
I'm still looking to recreate the atmosphere of r/WitchesVsPatriarchy here on Lemmy. It's what I miss most from Reddit.
I’m a woman, and although some technological things are interesting I’m not quite a tech nerd and definitely not a Linux one. Linux seems cool but I’m too lazy to make the jump. MacOS and/or Windows serve well enough for me.
I also have several different Threadiverse accounts and try to post frequently in niche communities I’m interested in, although not so frequently I become the only contributor and it feels spammy.
Haha, totally feel you on trying to not spam the niche communities on interested in while also trying to help them grow.
I'll be the first to say that if they rolled back the changes I'd return in a heartbeat.
I miss reddit a lot, but I decided to leave if they went through with the API changes and I stand by that decision. But I definitely miss it and Tildes and Lemmy simply don't replace it.
I'll never return, regardless of what Reddit does, but I don't blame you for your position.
I'd just say don't give up yet, I think we have a pretty large chunk of people sitting on the sidelines temporarily, waiting to see if Lemmy actually becomes what it aspires to be.
Also I don't mean to be rude, but it would be nice if Tildes users just came to Lemmy and helped us build here. I'm sure many Tildes users use Lemmy anyways. Tildes is just way too small (like 10% the size of Lemmy) and even if it did take off, it would probably turn out the same way as reddit. But that's just like, my opinion, man.
