I was very bolshy in deleting my reddit account and made a real solid commitment to only use Lemmy the instant that the api changes where announced, .. Two months later and I started feeling a bit stranded, at times it seems like there's nothing but content about programming, Linux, Foss, privacy, and Ukraine but at other times it can be really engaging..
However I have ended up making a new reddit account just so I can lurk from time to time
I really miss a somewhat niche forum about a video game I’m playing… but I also don’t find the time to put in the effort of re-creating and moderating it myself here again.
Same here. I don't regret making the move though, and we have to remember that it's all rather new to (most of) us. This can never be as big as reddit, nor would I want it to be.
It's refreshing to be away from the firehose of crap that would flood out of some threads.
Jesus Christ, go outside
That's exactly what I do as well. Kindle has a new lease of life, and my knees are getting sunburnt!
That's not what I meant, but I'm happy you're getting sunlight
Right. You were clearly just trying to be rude to someone.
Yup! You figured me out!
