I like that it's back to small communities. Like Reddit once was.

Nah, honestly this is great. I missed the old Reddit with less people and a more community feel. This is fantastic!

Kind of. I will miss the small communities, the very niche ones. As for the frontpage or r/all, I won’t miss it a bit. The site has grown to a large enough size that most of the content is basically low effort memes and bots, and now the inevitable boot of corporate posturing threatens to kill whatever soul the site once had.

What I’ll miss is the stuff beneath the “surface”, the expert that knows how to fix your problem, the lovely self-proclaimed nerd who recommends my next fantasy series to delve into, the experienced DM that shares his tricks to have a great DnD campaign and the amateur chef that knows exactly how to sous-vide a chuck roast to perfection.

I hope this breadth of content is something that lemmy can grow into, but I think that is more of a long term goal and not something that will spontanously pop into existence once the exodus begins. Finger’s crossed though!

In some ways, absolutely. I have distinct memories of finding the perfect solution to a problem I had, discovering a major headline, and more.

New place new rules new spirit. I’m all in. Deleted Apollo, will overwrite my stuff on Reddit.

I'm gonna miss the posts, communities, and history. But Reddit itself, not really. It's just one big, bloated fourm site with a reputation that was already on a downward slope. Hopefully Lemmy will grow to be even greater, seeing as it's in the hands of the users than a company.

I'm mostly sad about losing the communites i loved, for which I have not yet found a comarable one on lemmy. r/cars and r/cartalk mostly

I'm not breaking up yet but I'm definitely gonna cheat a little while Reddit goes through their drama!

I'm excited to be diving into the federated side of things, but yeah. I've been an avid user of Reddit as a discussion board since the old days. There are some great technical communities there. Love the platform, but am struggling to deal with it any longer.

I miss Relay haha such a great app

Yes, i do. I just deleted my main account using the PowerDeleteSuite, I am (was) used to log in every morning. I will miss it, but it was inevitable; eventually, al social media platforms die off due to "enshittification".

I hope for a long stay with Lemmy! I deleted Facebook in 2011, Twitter when Musk bought it, never jumped on Instagram, Tumblr or Tiktok. Stumbleupon for me died when the VCC capital forced the site to redirect to advertised pages. Popurls is now upstract.com, a shadow of its former self....oh well. I guess I am getting old and starting to yell at clouds LOL.

I’m not heartbroken, I’m just annoyed. But I’m really excited about Lemmy, I was introduced to the Fediverse with Mastodon at the end of last year and I absolutely love the potential. I hope it reaches mainstream appeal.

Yeah. Here’s hoping this is just the beginning of something better

I guess I'm still in the denial phase. I haven't technically left reddit yet. I guess during the blackout, then I'll really know how I feel without it. I'll definitely have to leave once RIF stops working.

I'm just having a really hard time getting used to kbin and Lemmy.

No, not heartbroken at all. Maybe you can call it the R-word? Ha!

I did at first, but the more acclimated I get to Lemmy/Fediverse that feeling has mostly gone away. I'm mostly going to miss the Apollo app, because it was just that good and is where I spent the most time browsing Reddit. I sincerely hope Christian Selig makes a Lemmy app and I will gladly pay for it if he does, but I understand if he wants a break or wants to focus on other projects.

I'm used to the layout of RIF and my niche subreddits NCD/Ukraine Conflict, NBA but I'm posting here and trying to add to the community. Hoping for a better mobile app one day though:X
