I’ve heard that Reddit is trying to kill that too so people will use their godawful search feature instead. I got a prompt from the site to take a survey about it sometimes last month and that’s what people were theorizing that it was about.
I’ve had some searches lead me to old reddit threads where the answers are all deleted a few times since migrating here already. So even that is becoming less true than it used to be.
I used to use Reddit a lot more back before the whole API fiasco earlier this year. After that, I stopped, save for posts promoting Lemmy and one very specific subreddit that never migrated to Lemmy and that I just couldn’t go without. (The other subreddits I could either do without or were already replicated on Lemmy.)
I’m not too interested in being a moderator. I don’t have time for it.
As for migrating the community, they actually are one of the communities that held a vote, and they voted to stay on Reddit rather than migrate to Lemmy. I’d like to respect that decision.
I don’t have any problem with content being mirrored, though.
I apparently misremembered. There was a poll, and they posted the results here. But the poll didn’t make mention of Lemmy and instead asked about migrating entirely to Discord (which honestly makes sense since the weekly thread is mainly a “live chat” of sorts). They voted to stay on Reddit instead of migrating entirely to their Discord server.
Both the subreddit and Discord server are active enough that they don’t feel “barren” but small enough that they have a tight sense of community.
I honestly haven’t used Reddit since the API exodus. The only reason I still have an account there is for when I have weird tech issues and the only search results are from old Reddit posts.
I only check Lemmy a few times a day, (and I tend to browse /all so I’m not limited to only seeing my subscriptions,) so I always have fresh content whenever I open the app. My posts and comments tend to get better engagement on Lemmy anyways. They don’t get buried by power users and karma-farming bots, so I actually get real responses. Nearly every time I open my app, I have three or four comment responses to check.
Some of my main communities didn’t take hold here, so I keep my toes in those subreddits. In the past week, the experience has gotten measurably worse. It’s wild.
I wish those communities had reached a critical mass here.
I browse old.reddit when I finish a show or movie for review and to touch in on hiphop releases. But without interaction. Lemmy is where I am now, fuck reddit I’m not a complete fuck Spez but they’re a genuinely unlikeable company.
Lemmy is getting better and better at an exponential rate. I still use Reddit but eventually I expect to fully be on Lemmy.
I just quit cold turkey and moved to lemmy fulltime. I miss some communities but whatev, its no biggie.
There’s too many answers over the past decade to abandon reddit completely. Most google searches for specific questions go back to Reddit.

Yeah I only get back on Reddit from a search engine hit. And even then I’ll use the cached copy if I can.
How do you get the cached copy?
archive.org has it. I self host searxng, and it gives me a link beside every search result to load it from archive instead.
Same. I realised 95% of Reddit for me was just the bants and chitchat. There’s a few communities I miss, but I can easily get my kicks here.
Just came over from reddit to check this place out and gotta say, I’m liking it so far!
Same here. I do go back for some niche browsing, but mostly over here now.

It’s /r/Toonami. It’s gotten about 35k members over the years, but it’s not as active as that number might imply.

I also used to rely more on reddit but just came to lemmy and can really see potential that with time will overpass reddit eventually
I think we can overpass in quality some day but not in rough numbers(at least for now, reddit has to fuck up a lot to go down like twitter).

I miss like one community and sort by controversial to enjoy a really nice shit show.
