I tried Mastodon and I just couldn't do it. But I don't use Twitter either. I've been using Lemmy/BeeHaw for 10 minutes and it already seems like a drop-in, minimal learning curve to reddit. this looks super promising!
And back to the shadows...
I feel like it's easier and more rewarding to comment when it's a smaller community. The problem is that I don't have anything interesting to post :/
While I’m sad about the Reddit api changes. I’m also happy about them if they make Lemmy popular, I’d love to ditch Reddit altogether.
I'm really glad we're not all just jumping onto the next centralised platform. It makes me hopeful for this system.
This is where I’m at too. Reddit is my last non-Fediverse social media account, and I already had some reservations about keeping it. I don’t think I’m ready to delete it just yet, unlike FB/Twitter/Instagram.
yoo i heard ab the thing and i wont be usin Leddit for the next days. exited what to see what everyones up to.. on a different platform
OH YEA! Love what I'm seeing
I wish it didn't take a system/site/service imploding to get people to try something new.
MySpace got silly, enter FB. Twitter gets Musked, Mastodon finally takes off after years of not. Reddit nukes their own service, Etc.
Not that bad projects shouldn't die off, but it's always a reactionary move for the masses, rather than a proactive "let's try this new thing because it might be better".
/lurk
Sigh. Yes, I'll do my best.
I've been doom-scrolling reddit for a while and see this as a chance to kick the habit better than deleting and re-installing a week later
This is the way
Yeah I'm pretty bad for that. 😬
I feel attacked. First post on my feed when I open Jerboa.
Its so hard not to lurk...
