I agree and I thought more people would be frustrated enough to leave Reddit. But there are enough of us here now that there is an alternative to Reddit that is viable. Hopefully that becomes common knowledge and they realize leaving Reddit doesn’t mean not having a community, so they feel encouraged to switch.
I second this. From experience, I noticed more hyper local subs on Reddit are very active, but the more larger general subs seem to endlessly repost old content or share exaggerated titles/content. I do wish there were more of a local presence on Lemmy, not everyone wants to go to Reddit or Facebook Groups for that.
Lemmy does need to grow past everyone browsing on “all” (which I do) and then getting outraged for no reason that there’s a woman-only sub. Yes, we need specialist communities that aren’t for everyone too.
Oh cool, reminds me of the C&C underground missions in Red Alert, taking Tanya through the base. I always took so long with those missions, but i’m a natural turtler.
Reddit is a wasteland where every informative post is now marked as DELETED by those of us who torched our donated content as we left. It’s full of garbage posts now, and mods who don’t care.
Do they still manage to attract ad revenue, sure, so does X after Musk turned it into a fascist turd bath. Is it as valuable as it used to be? Not by a longshot.

For what its worth, I am not browsing “all”. I have two communities in bookmarks and I come and check what was posted in those.
I was pretty late to come to Lemmy though…
What are the two communities?
I only ask out of general interest as its such a specific number, if you’re not comfortable sharing, don’t feel obliged.
This one and /c/pixeldungeon
I have been playing that game for sooo long.
In fact, its author ditching Reddit for Lemmy is the main reason I am here.
