I do. That’s why I’m using lemmy and reddit at the same time, cause at least on reddit there are subreddits that I care about. Both c/all and r/all are depressing to me but I’m still scrolling through both of them. Btw I’m scrolling on lemmy for almost a year and I do follow some communities here but I always use all and I never switch to subscribed, also I’m rarely subscribing to the new ones. Am I the only one who does that?

At least there is something to read, unlike on lemmy, where the most liked posts are bitching about reddit.

People here annoy me here more and more with time, especially when it comes to reddit, where every post shitting on reddit is massively upvoted. There is nothing to read aside maybe c/all where active have something new maybe every day, and hot is filled to the brim with the same posts since there is no crossposting as far as I know. It feels to me that people are forcing themselves to like Lemmy cause for no other reason other than they hate reddit so much more. Will that stop me from browsing it? Not yet, but I have to browse reddit for stuff I care more about.

Nah, it’s the same level of stupidity but on smaller scale cause Lemmy is small.

I’ve just returned to reddit so I no longer feel superior, but at least I have something to read. Also I dislike this meme because it shows that Lemmy is only for people that hate reddit and noone else. Just look at upvotes for memes and articles that bashes reddit. C’mon dudes, we’re better than that.

I’m really trying to be positive, guys. I’m daily driving Lemmy, watching all the content here. I’ve only logged to reddit once thinking “at least old.reddit.com works”, and it does, but after clicking on posts it goes back to new so I said “screw it” and I’m sticking with Lemmy for now. But all communities I’ve followed on Reddit are either small, non-existent, or just bots reposting Reddit posts. I know about this site, and I’m guessing a lot of you too, by googling “reddit alternative”. Hate on Reddit will only get you so far. Maybe I’m wrong here, but in my opinion main problem of Lemmy is a lack of reach. I like Lemmy and I’ll definitely stick with it, but I don’t think it will be as big as reddit. Lemmy needs something that would make people go to it, and “it’s not reddit” is not enough.

Poorly.

Really? Maybe I’m not on this side of YouTube but for me there are tons of great channels to watch. I’m more interested in science/tech/engineering/video games stuff. I watch Tom Scott, nilered, explosions&fire, Scott the Woz, 8bit guy, summoning salt, electroboom, captain disillusion, I did a thing, William Osman, LGR, Michael Reeves and plenty of more good, not clickbaity, drama free channels I’m watching.

Yeah, Lemmy can in some part fill that void reddit left for me, but It’s going to be tough for it to be mainstream. The thing that makes Lemmy in my opinion still niche is that subreddits centered and endorsed by popular franchises haven’t migrated and I doubt they do it anytime soon. Maybe some day, but I’m not holding my breath.
