I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.
The comments are just so much worse than the top posts. It is akin to Twitter after Musk pushed the main active user base away in exchange for a Faustian deal with right wingnuts. That or Reddit was truly duplicitous in their messaging and are perfectly fine taking money from propaganda organizations running in other countries which can pay the API fees to push narratives still. Not that they’d want that before an IPO or anything…
It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.
We are so irrelevant that cryptoscam bots don’t target us 🎉
Mac users know that feel
"You’re a fat little girl, aren’t you Mac?
“Nooooo”
“SAY IT!”
“I’m a fat little girl”
There are Dozens of us!
Nah we just have regular old crypto shill people instead
Cryptoscam bots don’t target us yet!
It’s been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I’m getting there.
Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.
Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile
RIP Apollo.
Same haven’t been back since I joined lemmy in June.
They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.

Same here
Reddit just that niche 3 sentences of extremely specific scenarios I need
The best way I’ve found to search lemmy and kbin is using trystract.com with the discussions optic.
Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.
“I kicked a puppy. AITA?”
“Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”
“What are your favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”
you forgot “Men have it so much harder than women and here’s an entire fucking essay on why you bitches!!”

So the same shit as here, except for the “look at how bad Reddit is now” posts?
I mean… I like seeing that it’s clearly going way down hill and fast.
I always enjoy a bit of schadenfreude in the morning.
The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here
Agreed. Fuck Reddit
