When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I’m staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.
I used to be the same but I’m going to be pretty devoted to looking for alternative sources of information. They’re definitely out there, just not as reliable/easy to find 👀

Totally agree with this, Reddit still has a lot of “collective knowledge” stored there.
I wonder, is there an instance here that has tried porting over subrredits?

For me, Reddit is now only a place to look up solutions, and not a group of communities to participate in.
The kind of solutions I would formerly post on Reddit, I will post on Lemmy instead. And I will participate in Lemmy communities as they pop up.
With time, as niche communities set up shop elsewhere, I expect I will have to search Reddit less and less.
Exactly. I spent years answering all sorts of questions. those comments are gone now and I will use lemmy from now on
And this is how we’ll grow the community; stop posting shit on Reddit. It’ll reduce visibility, sure…but that’s just how it’s gotta be.
I don’t know if I want this to become reddit 2.0. Maybe there’s another way. I’ll hang around and see what happens.
