It's a little up in the air for me at the moment. I just discovered that all of our upvotes and downvotes aren't private. It's not what I'm used to at Reddit.

I can see pros and cons to this, so it will be an interesting change for sure.

Yes, I don't see why not. Seems to be going pretty well. I expect to eventually fully tune out of reddit same as I did Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I've long enjoyed somewhat smaller discussion sites pre and after reddit, such as Slashdot, kuro5hin, Hacker News and so forth.

At this rate I plan on staying on Lemmy for the time being. Reddit seems like it will fail soon so I should try an alternative. I was surprised to see no forums about Digimon on Lemmy so I had to create one, along with other forums such as Disgaea, Skuntank, sunflowers, skunks, whales, and vultures.

I'm not going to Reddit for sure!

[–] TigerClawTV@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Staying here. I run the OSR and Chiptune communities. Can't leave now.

[–] Tum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh we have an OSR community now? Alongside the terrain building/mini painting subs that's one of the ones I missed the most. Nice one!

That's the plan. I'm strongly invested in leaving Reddit for good.

I do have some concerns regarding the scalability of the Lemmy as a whole though. Seems like sync issues are a frequent problem.

Yes. Only thing I found really useful on Reddit was consolidated news. Nearly everything else was a time waster. I refuse to use their mobile app so I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been saving so much time not mindlessly scrolling on Reddit.

Yes. Reddit has been replaced with a combo of Lemmy, yahoo news aggregation, raw imgur scrolling and duolingo on the toilet.

I've been a loooooong time reddit user (was using it in parallel with digg). Had an account at some point but deleted it with the Pao drama. Now I made an account on lemmy.world :D. So happy to finally be active again :)

Hopefully. What if the reddit CEO does a 180 and goes back on his position? I'm afraid that a lot of people will flood back into the site. Problem is, unless people leave organically and of their own will with the intention to use this site because it's better than reddit, nothing will change.

It's important to support alternatives like Lemmy.world because even if the reddit API is free again, now that reddit is going public, expect a lot of restrictions on content. reddit will die like Tumblr did (avid ex-Tumblr user here, before they effed it up, BTW are we allowed to swear freely here?). And like Digg before it. I'd rather be cut reddit out of my life ASAP so I'm praying a ton of communities migrate here... this is such a simple platform to use

Technically no. I'm planning on spinning up my own instance of Calckey. So not technically Lemmy, but still interacting with it.

I dunno. I've been on Reddit for 16 years. I really really really like the RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) style of expanding images and doom scrolling. It's my morning binge.

[–] Mihuy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Konstantinos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! I like the platform and the philosophy behind it, the only thing missing nis more users!

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] MusketeerX@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes.

I'm liking it. Better vibe than Reddit, think I'd find it hard to go back. A couple of communities are still not developed here yet, but I'm sure they will be.

[–] ilikedatsyuk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes! Reddit is blocked in my DNS server so they will not get any traffic from me. Lemmy and Mastodon are where I'm at.

[–] PKRockin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm not minding it. The instance (or app itself) seems slow, but overall okay. I'm just hoping the content shifts away from talking about how bad Reddit is and more about providing its own content.

I'd like to inform you that you will now be the recipients of most of my shitposting. Sorry!

[–] Samowar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know. The front page is confusing. When I press "all" and "hot" threads with 10 upvotes show up at the top. When I press "top of a day" I get some better posts, but soon new posts with 0 upvotes appear above them. It's all confusing and honestly, it's a mess. When I sort comments by top, I get comments with 0 upvotes at the top.
No kind of sorting seems to be doing what I want it to do.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like it here and I don't like it anywhere else.

[–] ExploringLiterature@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. $p3d can LIGMA and SUGONDESE. I hope a good mobile version comes along soon.

[–] end_stage_ligma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
[–] BreakNeckJim 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely! It's refreshing and community owned and run!
