I'm here!

Oh you are in the right place! Once people figure out how to use the fediverse its jover for reddit.

I came here for video games and dank memes, but most of the website devolved into a political shitshow.

I'm here. I'll still go on Reddit if I'm on desktop (which is rare) but when on my phone, Lemmy does the job fine.

Here despite the lack of content/content I can't get here on Lemmy. Still, generally I'd say it's a little better on this side of things.

Still here though to be fair I haven't been that active for the last few years as I'm been spending more time on discord.

If I had to bet I'd say most migrated to Discord. Many Reddit refugees are here and some more are on kbin. A lot of people went to squabbles.io and tildes.net too, apparently, but I've never used those since I'd rather stay within the fediverse.

Here

Still here. Getting ready to maybe create a post or two.

First I need to spend weeks upvoting shitposts, however.

I think the biggest sub I'm on here is all of 5000. Ouuuu.

Obviously not even 5% of reddit transitioned over. I know a lot of my favourite subs went to discord.

But discord - to my knowledge - doesn't have a 'front page' of subs... Making it hard to find new subs.

Stull here, but I mostly stay quite

I looked at Reddit for the first time in a long while yesterday. I had trimmed my subscribed subs to just essential, this is the only place on the web with this community like things.

So I look at my front page and I am still subscribed to more then 20 subreddits. But what is my #3 link but a 0 score off topic post. WTF reddit? Why is that even being promoted by your algorithm? I laughed at it and showed my wife and then closed the site without even looking at anything else.

what a shitty web site

I'm here, reading hacker news and slashdot. Trying to learn AI, ML and cloud technologies 😊 out of work but going with flow of life

Yep I'm here

Greetings from kbin.social

I’ve never wanted or needed to go back, if that’s what OP is asking. SNR is higher, less to scroll through.

probably in some kind of camp

Reporting in. Once you spend a bit of time here you will find the things you are familiar with in a different form, Lemmy has its own culture going. Though there are also a bunch of sub replacements, or at least very similar communities.

Though it is of course true that reddit was the internet culture place for a good decade, and that reverberates through to how people communicate, what humor and references they have and make, and so on.

Over time more and more people will migrate, and help to foster new communities here. The fediverse is still in its pioneering stage, so naturally the content is less varied than on reddit, and there are still the occasional technical issues to work out, but overall it’s been a fun two months here. I actually haven’t missed reddit much, just for the occasional ultra specific answer I am looking for.

Also, welcome!

Yeah it's something that'll take time... reddit had years of activity to give it the beef of info and content. Lemmy will get there, just going up steadily :) (reddit refugee)

Here

I moved herr, just to different communities.

Still around, and possibly outnumbered the non refugees already. But we haven't yet reached critical mass, so there is a lot less content (with few exceptions such as the piracy and foss communities which are solid and potentially better than what you may find on Reddit)
