Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?
I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.
I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.
Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.
I only use reddit on my phone, really - apart from searching for specific queries when at a desktop.
Once 3rd party apps shutdown, I won't be able to browse those niche communities anyway - so... Time to rebuild!
Can I get a rock and stone?
