Reddit

Now we shitpost on the funny mouse website!

Same. 11 years, nearly 2 million karma, frontpage almost every week. Mine was Reddit Is Fun app but I swore not to go back.

Edit: same username on reddit

Obligatory, FUCK U/SPEZ

I was part of “Rexxit” or whatever you wanna call it; I agree, life is better here. Viva la Lemmings

I lurk with a burner account it because lots of niche reddit communities (modded API 3rd party client of course) still don't have Lemmy groups and....it's all rage bait, horny bait, and whOleSomE bait.

No substance, only engagement is the goal.

Same for me, but with Sync.

I was on Reddit for about 15 years, pre-dating when Digg shit the bed, and to be honest there are some similarities between this place and old Reddit.

That's not to say that we'll see a flood of people from Reddit, but that this place has a nice, quaint charm that wasn't too dissimilar to before. With that being said, the Linux bros are as unbearable as they used to be on Reddit, and there are some extremely wild opinions on politics that don't align with reality - that's not much of an improvement.

Same. I don’t miss Reddit at all.

I'm very similar. I still go back and check in from time to time, but I see Reddit as a ghost of its former self. It seems that all the good content posters have moved on.

For me it was bacon reader, but mostly the same. I lurk there maybe once a month, but the only active communities seem to be centered around helping people. I would suspect that those who don't regularly use Reddit, may not have been completely in the know about the changes, or maybe they didn't care, and they just used Reddit when they wanted to know about a thing; so those users still return to Reddit when they need help. Everywhere else seems to be very inactive... At least compared to what Reddit was just a year ago.

I still read /r/boxoffice when there's a major flop (so I've been back there a bit since Wish released) but I don't log in anymore.

I joined back on the iPhone 4 using blue alien or whatever that app was called. Then been on reddit sync until the purge. I pretty much exclusively used reddit via a third party app. It hurt to delete all my content and delete my reddit account, but the sync author said he's moving to lemmy so I just went along. Now I'm on lemmy with sync. The community is obviously much smaller, and there's quite a specific kind of person here (looking at you Linux and star trek instances) but I can actually interact here. I never deleted my comments before, and still wouldn't, but I don't see myself instantly down voted into oblivion for not sharing a hive mind idea. I get to see more kinds of interaction here instead of having to sort by controversial. It's nice.

well I know why too. Anyone else?

Right? I used to spend hours on Reddit each day, now I only go on Lemmy during my 15 minute lunch break

100%

Reddit doesn't.

I’m getting my doomscrolling and worthless banter/arguing with strangers “fix” from lemmy.

But Lemmy is no replacement for local news/rumormill, or most career/hobby subs, yet. Except for at a very high level. Like metro area, or “gaming”. Reddit is still far superior only because theres already a community there.

Eventually Lemmy may get to that point. Time will tell. I still haven’t installed the Reddit app, and I basically only end up there when some other search brings me to Reddit. I’ve already stopped muscle-memory impulsively typing it. My autocomplete for www.red is no longer safe-for-work.

That second one is perfect considering the subreddit.

OP is a cuck using the official app.

If they're going to browse reddit they could at least use a modded client with API usage with a burner account

It seems to be from some kind of Reddit end of year highlights reel. I think OP probably engaged with the post about Apollo shutting down a lot (voted, commented, maybe viewed it a great deal of times, etc.) and so Reddit served them this little "highlights" card.

OP is now sharing it here as a "remember where we came from / fuck Reddit amirite" post
