So far it replaced my casual Reddit browsing when I'm bored. But when I want to look at some specific stuff I still need to go to reddit but it's just to get some information and not really to engage with the community.

It seems the the majority agree with you on this hence the up votes but I'm just gonna come out of and say something cuz I'm trying to stop being a lurker. Agreed.

It's going to be a very slow progression for anything federated to take the lead with specific stuff. reddit just has the knowledge at this point.

Hopefully that knowledge will eventually carry over over to the fediverse. Untill then, I'm gonna need reddit in small doses.

I had really only one sub I wanted to keep up with. They have no intentions of leaving Reddit AFAIK so I just added them into an RSS reader, and explore Lemmy the rest of the time

an RSS reading...huh i might have to do that too

Yeah this is the reality. We don't need to be so tribal about it.

For example I despise facebook, but occasionally I log in there to sell some junk.

Reddit has been on the nose generally for a long time, but some of the smaller subs were / are great communities.

I went as far as deleting my entire reddit post and comment history, and then I deleted my reddit account.

And it's funny because I've already spent more time on Lemmy than I ever did in 6 years on Reddit. Something about it just sucks you in.
