There are simply some communities I can't find on Lemmy. For example, I use subreddits based on admissions to specific colleges that would never be able to function on Lemmy due to its size. I'd much prefer to abandon Reddit altogether but the information I need is usually only there.

I only used reddit for casual purposes, so breaking my habit was easy. I haven’t been back since I created an account here.

For the first few days, it was out of contempt for that site, but now it’s because I’ve realized that online communities don’t have to be toxic, confrontational battlegrounds. I don’t miss the reddit “culture” AT ALL.
