I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

    I don’t feel bad, but having moved a few days ago I’ll share my experience.

    I try and come here first, will check the one or two things I’ve posted engaged with, scroll a bit - but realise I haven’t quite joined enough communities for there to be novel information each time I check in.

    I then default to Reddit, and quickly go into my default auto-scroll passive lurk mode. I see something new - like the most recent Anonymous hack on twitter, and then come back to see if I can find it on Lemmy!

    One key difference is I rarely posted on Reddit, but have felt very comfortable posting here. Not sure why!

      It so far ( in my very limited experience ) feels like users on Lemmy are more likely to have an actual conversation than immediately slip into the cycle of memes, in-jokes, and other drivel that usually ends up as the top several threads on reddit posts of popular sub-reddits.

      It’s kinda nice.

        I really hope it stays that way. Large subreddit have been bad for a long time with jokes and memes as comments.
