now I can’t even browse reddit since there is a never ending stream of posts and comments on lemmy ^^
I could browse lemmy all day, I still need to find some kind of lemmy browsing/life balance xD
I feel the same way. I wanted to experiment how it feels if I do not open reddit at all for a couple of days. (To no ones surprise,) I don’t even miss it. Conversations are more engaging here and I feel happy about feeding the fediverse :D
I miss some communities here that are present on Reddit. But you’re right, here you can feel yourself more free and more engaged. With some time and some effort, this can be very awesome.
What communities? They can be built here
Specific video game communities, like the subreddit for stardew valley or for Temtem, they aren’t here yet
There are funny ones, like 2westerneurope4u and balkans_irl; useful ones in general, like astralprojection and meditation, an useful ones in my case, like stratterarx and aspergers. I also miss polandball, but to reach that quality level it’s needed a lot of time and more users.
Someone should setup a 2westerneurope4u instance which can only be accessed from European IPs.
Ugh those 2x4u subs tend to devolve into “ironic racism” really fast.
now browsing lemmy to find good stuff for posting on reddit? - just kidding no one posts there! xD
I’ve lurked on Reddit since the Digg exodus very rarely posting / commenting on anything. Although lemmy is lacking content and more niche communities at the moment I find myself actually wanting to take part in the discussions here and not just consuming.
I agree. This feels like the beginning of something beautiful and I’m guessing we’re still in the honeymoon phase.
But yeah, better to be here than on the corporatized hell hole that reddit has become.
The transition has started.
I’ve noticed an increase in lemmy usage myself, this used to be a check every few days or so, but with the recent influx of users there’s more things to interact with now.
