How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.

Infinity is still working at the moment but today I removed it from my home screen and replaced with a Lemmy app. There isn't a community replacement for every subreddit I follow just yet but hopefully Lemmy and other Fediverse services will continue to grow.

In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.

Lemmy doesn't have that debt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don't exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it's been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Fuck reddit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used β€œnew” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O

Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.
