I've browsed Reddit a couple of times since walking away in June. IMO the quality of the content has declined significantly. This while both the quality and quantity of content on Lemmy has noticeably increased.

    I've gone back a few times to view some niche subs that probably won't take hold here for a while. They're doing fine.

    I would think that would be the case. For some subjects there's nowhere else to go. I've just been looking at the front page without logging in and although there's some good content still there, there's also a lot more crap than there used to be.

    Lemmy doesn't have everything but it is surprising where it is capable. So far I've encountered quite a few of the real credentialed experts I went to reddit to find before it died. Now, a Llama2 70B is more effective and accurate than most of what reddit ever was. The little bit that I have been unable to get the model to do is already here. I ghosted reddit June 9th and have never been back and never will. It is blocked on my firewall.
