Well i am certainly not using reddit on my tablet anymore.
Honestly Reddit doesn't infuriate me anymore. I haven't been on reddit for 2 weeks now and I no longer feel the urge to check that site. I expect I'll still end up there occasionally when I search for stuff, but gone are the days when I spend an hour or two every night on reddit.
Why would I go on bad lemmy?
That’s actually been my experience as well lol.
I did actually deliberately jump on reddit on desktop recently, just to check on a few things and see how the protests were going.
There wasn’t really anything informative on the front page that hadn’t already been posted here. The quality of posts actually seemed worse overall
The quality of the posts being worse makes sense, I'm guessing some of the Reddit power users moved here and they were generating the majority of quality OC on Reddit.
I also feel like it's become more right wing. Or at least now that some people have left, the balance has shifted further to the right. I went on yesterday, and r/WhitePeopleTwitter, a fairly left wing sub, is now having a lot of Republicans. Really killed my desire to go back. It was something I know a lot of people predicted would happen, but still sad in a way to see.
Edit: Also the fact that the main niche subs I went to are dead. They used to be pretty active, but since they reopened, a lot of users were not happy. So now it's a post every few days. I think one of the subs just got completely deleted. Sadly they're not as active here.
There's still quite a few subreddits I miss. Plus the larger community. Some communities are here, but they're dead with no users, and I don't really have what to contribute.
I wanted to try listing all of them, but I realized there's like 40 of them.
Mostly, I miss r/batteries, r/ElectroBOOM, r/linuxmint, r/ManjaroLinux, r/LinuxMasterrace, r/SpaceXMasterrace, r/pcmasterrace, r/computers, r/laptops, r/amateursatellites, r/whatisthisthing and r/RTLSDR which also had cool people like developer of noaa-apt and Ryzerth, the developer of SDR++, plus many more.
Edit: Oh, how could I forget dereksgc, another cool guy who puts out lots of useful info.
Yes that's the only thing I would miss from Reddit. The wealth of knowledge that lives on their servers and the community until they more over here
Things will slowly grow if we all stick with Lemmy though. It's really just a matter of time until it reaches a critical mass.

What is that app possibly made of that it cant run on literally anything? It's just an app for text and images. I dont get it, is it optimized like an actual potato?
is it optimized like an actual potato?
Back when it was still in beta, it went through a period where it drained my battery from 100% to dead in under 30 minutes.
Just by being installed, not even actually using it.
Facebook still does this to me. I log in via Web app now.
I mean, look at the facebook app. They had to do "optimizations", because they ran into limits of Android's Dalvik a few years back.

You're not missing much
You dodged a bullet homie.
I'm gonna miss Joey, spent a lot of time scrolling. I'm still using it for now until the API changes kick in, then I'm probably gone from Reddit for good after I sort through the saved content that I actually care about.
Can we please stop with all the posts about reddit? Jesus christ you guys it's a website, not your crazy ex. Lemmy is never going to surpass reddit in popularity when the only thing on the frontpage besides beans is "reddit this, reddit that".
It's less than a week after the largest website in the world shit the bed. It's still topical.
You sound mildly infuriated.
He should make a post about it!
It's an online community that people have been using for decades. The fact that many of us can't use it anymore is a real issue, even if it isn't relevant to you (believe it or not).
I can for sure see both sides of this one. I had ditched all other social media years ago, and baconreader was my one guilty pleasure.
If I had my phone in my hand, I was catching up with other old skaters like myself, reading about the latest trends in tech, or browsing the daily news.
The tag line of "Front page of the internet" was quite literally true for me. That was the portal through which I found content.
In the weeks leading up to the June 30th, I felt a strong sadness, what was I going to do with my screen time? I had created a very custom space using baconreader that neither the reddit app, or to be fair, Lemmy, could provide.
While I am really enjoying learning about Lemmy, and I feel the quality of the post and comments here are far better, it's going to take time to find and/or develop those niche communities again.
I do however agree, and the ex analogy is spot on, that the last thing I want is for this community to just be a bitch fest about what once was.
Give people a bit of time to vent, it hasn't even been a week since a decades long experience came crashing to a halt through no fault of ours.
Honestly, I'm really trying to like Lemmy. I feel like none of the good communities came over here, just the one's you mindlessly scroll through. I just looked for a fitness community yesterday and the one i found had like 5 posts. There is basically no communities for any of my hobbies. It seems like most people stayed on Reddit, except for the techy people. It's a shame because I really want to support the idea of federation and I do like the website.
I initially had the same lament, but since we're early adopters of this tech, it really is on us to build the communities here. If you want to discuss something, just post a thread. Even if no one replies right away, as people start coming they will start engaging with posts that are already there.

Even from 3 weeks ago, this place has grown hand over fist. Just give it a few more weeks and it'll be pretty much new Reddit.
Which fitness subreddits need growth? I have arrived.
Be the change you want to see. There are probably other people looking for those coversations, but see low engagement and move on. The more you post the more attractive it makes the community for other people.
I have also found that even if there are fewer comments, other people tend to respond and have more discussions.
I do have alot of hope that well see the community continue to grow & hopefully more activity as people search out reddit alternatives.

Great news.
I only ever used Reddit in Firefox on desktop anyway - but now I use it a whole lot less (maybe just one reply per day trolling people with interesting posts they'd be better posting here).
Lemmy is a shit-show... but it's OUR shit-show and we'll adjust, and clever people will develop.
MY shit-show ya commie bastard. NEXT.
Right on man. My last comment on R3dd!t told people the amount of time they spent figuring out how to still use 3rd party apps, they can direct that effort into learning how to participate in the Fediverse. Got a hundred-ish downvotes so that means a hundred people now know Lemmy exists.
they'll call you a POS for not being part of the pc master race
pc master race is hilarious, informative, and outright unhinged.
