Is Reddit going to remain the primary space for this community? (www.reddit.com)

I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it's nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I've learned so much there.

As much as I like the interface and idea of lemmy, I think the content traffic is not enough for me.. and keep going back to reddit :/

    I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Reddit. Getting bored of Lemmy is a feature, not a bug. Embrace it.

    Yeah it’s pretty amazing that there’s kinda no algorithm, you just see what you subscribe to in chronological order

    It's likely not as bad as you think. :) It took a bit of adjusting for me realising I didn't have several endless AskReddit threads a day to scroll through, but for 99% of my usage it's great here. It's also nice being able to interact with posts while not being one of the first commenters. I get more interactions here than Reddit. The only things I go to Reddit for are specific subreddits like dashcam videos, but that's a once a month or perhaps less frequent affair.

    Tbf the quality on Reddit really nosedived.
    I frequented the sysadmin, mildlyinfuriating, homelab, spicypillow (and adjacent), AskMeReddit and some other subreddits.
    The quality in some of the bigger and less moderated spaces is atrocious.
    The most upvoted posts compare with actual spam on Lemmy but they prevail on Reddit.

    Yep exactly. I've also noticed that a lot of subreddits are also run by mods pushing certain agenda's, removing anything they don't agree with. Doesn't make for a very healthy community.

    Same. And it’s not just the amount of content.

    The amount of times I’ve had a reply with someone obviously trying to be pedantic and argumentative saying “define common thing” is off the charts.
