How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

reddit isn't verbotten - hell, I still have a myspace account... This "place" will grow. Let it. Then someday everyone will say "fuck lemmy - let's move to scritum" or something as cryptic. Probably using hieroglyphics, err, I mean emojis.

I mean, face it... reddit was fine up until a few years ago - well - five or more. Then the musk wannabee bought it and it turned to shit. Before then it was okay. a bit prudish for the 21st century but still workable.

Ten years ago it was way neato - just like Lemmy is now. So, moral of this story is let Lemmy grow without using a crowbar.

: )

Lemmy may die, everything will. But as long as it is not for-profit, I think it will be good. Everything that venture capital touches turns into shit.

Agreed. I hope the developers don't get tired of it and sell it off.

That's the beauty of open source, if they do that, others can continue the work without the original* authors.

Yeah, but then someone buys it, decides to "sell one thing and retire forever", and turns it into facebook. Ver 3.9838

I hate spez as much as the next guy, but this is inaccurate. He is literally one of the founders of reddit, he didn't bought it.

If anything he sold it, then came back as a CEO.
