100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.

Like a lot of others here, I still add “reddit” to my searches when doing research on products or troubleshooting.

the day Apollo stopped working I deleted the account and quit cold turkey; now only if I find something there while researching a problem I read a thread anonymously and that’s it

Porn.

Though they got rid of my favorite category so I’ve been using it less.

Niche subs

I still use reddit for a few niche communities and browsing comments. I post alot and love my time here but the activity isnt enough to replace it for me yet

I no longer use my reddit accounts. But still do some tech searches with “reddit” at the end.

I need a steady drip feed of bonehurtingjuice that Lemmy has not been able to sufficiently provide

TV, Movie, Anime, Video Game, Discussion Threads.

It’s non-existent on Lemmy.

I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.

I still use Reddit for niche and polarizing topics. Lemmy feels like groupthink to me, especially about politics — it’s always “Ukraine good, Russia bad” and “Palestine good, Israel bad.” I like hearing both sides, but divergent opinions get smothered here. Imagine an average Christian joining the Fediverse: they’d have to leave many of their beliefs at the door and adapt to the herd, or risk being unwelcome, having posts downvoted to oblivion, and being told to leave. It’s already happened to me a few times with opinions that aren’t welcomed here. It’s a far cry from what Lemmy’s decentralization promised.

For example discussions about specific games or series because Lemmy just doesn’t have any of that. It seems to be only interested in Linux, politics and general news.

I created a lurker account for Reddit after I deleted my main, so I can visit all subreddits. But I don’t subscribe to anything and don’t really hang out there a lot.

I use reddit as a comparison when explaining lemmy and the fediverse to the uninitiated.

On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
