Asklemmy

My experience with Lemmy feels a lot like my experience with Mastadon after that first Twitter migration. It just seems to be everyone talking about the old platform with no real content.

I am really hoping some people start focusing more on communities and niche content. Would love to see a Hobbydrama community on Lemmy.

It feels weird. I'll still be using reddit because that is the link site i still enjoy the most. but i hope one day will be the day that something else takes over. (lets hope its not chinese like tiktok)

The sad part is potentially losing all the information, communities, etc. You can pretty much expect any company to go bad, so it makes no sense to get attached to a company.

Yeah, it's a lot of value destroyed and many communities and individuals will never make the switch. It's a sad thing, even if there is new opportunity as we see with Lemmy.

I'm going to miss reddit but I'm also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I'm hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?

My main issue is all the useful information that might be gone with a decent chunk of people editing and removing their comments or even subreddits going private
Otherwise, I got perma-banned from Reddit for commenting the navy seal copypasta in a thread where people were clearly sarcastic so I don't care

No; good riddance.

I go by the thought that the Reddit I cared about died a few years ago. I was a very vocal/active membre of the french community, but once it reached its critical mass, it all went downhill. The recent efforts to hire powermods to create more content has been the last nail in the coffin.

On one side yes, on the other side I see it as an opportunity to spend more time being active and or outside doing things that are truly good for myself.

Nah I used Reddit for 10 years and had been getting sick of it for the last few. I got started with the Fediverse with Mastodon at the end of last year and I am in love with the potential, especially after finding out about Lemmy. I really hope this system hits mainstream appeal.

@Acetamide This has been coming for a long time, I'm glad the community is being a chance to move on to spaces which aren't just trying to suck blood.

A bit heartbroken, but I always wanted decentralized forum like the old days. Having it federated makes it better and I hope Lemmy can succeed as an alternative. Using something that is too centralized make it hard if something like this happens.

Though I hope I can still search for x topic + lemmy (instead of x topic + reddit) for when I want to find some opinions on x topic.

Of course, change is hard. But I'm excited to scope out and learn new technology like Lemmy. Decentralization is the future, and it's pretty exciting.

Not really sad. I never found reddit inspired deep connections to communities anyways. It's not so bad to change things up now and again.

I came back to Apollo for a while on a new iPad. I am so sad to see it go - it's one of the top parts of iOS I actually miss. Certainly sad to not use it nor Boost anymore.
