I can honestly say that I don't give a fuck about anything Reddit related. I'm very happy with my Lemmy experience thus far. Those place seems fresh.

Seriously, the handful of times I've checked back in on Reddit recently just made me think, "Wow I hate it here."

I'm so much happier on the Fediverse.

Right? Scrolling through /r/all is just a combination of ragebait, low quality trash and circlejerking. I've been increasingly unhappy with the platform over the past years and the great time I've had on Lemmy has really driven the point home how bad of a site reddit has become.

Only wish there were more comments

I think there's a lot of people who got turned off from commenting.

It was so easy to gain the attention of some deranged Redditor when you commented, it was often just not worth it. Maybe that mindset came here and people are still warming up to the idea.

Funny comments and local jokes was my favourite thing about reddit

I have been writing a lot of comments on lemmy and people are so quick to upvote or downvote or try to start an argument. I can see why lots just lurk

Oh, don't say. Wrote an opinion on atheist forum and got myself almost crucified, lol

Lemmy is my methadone. Not interesting enough to get me hooked but just enough to keep me from going back.

I swear even the memes on here belong in comedy homicide and I see maybe one interesting article per day at most. I started carrying a kindle with me and usually just read instead of browsing. I've gone from a book every 2 or 3 months to a book per week.

I just need to start mirroring my fav book subreddits to my instance and I'm fully done with reddit
