General usage, Lemmy

Technical usage, Reddit.

I haven’t touched reddit to browse it since I made my lemmy account. I still wind up there from an occasional search with no other relevant results.

The way lemmy functions is vastly superior to reddit IMO and I have no plans to return.

[–] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty much the same here. This scratches the very same itch that reddit did, but has several bonuses on top.

Lemmy is better, but the communities I care the most about and want to give the most to aren't on lemmy, so I don't really have the luxury of using it quite as much as I'd like. I do like it here, though

[–] Varven@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Reddit definitely has more users and more communities that don't exist here but I prefer lemmy because no ads and no corporation trying to sell my data

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

lemmy, but I still check reddit after I'm done here

[–] anas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Still stuck between both, but when I’m on reddit I’m using a sideloaded version of Apollo with my own API key while logged out, so theoretically they can’t actually collect any data.

Reddit is obviously more active, even though a huge chunk of that activity is bots, but I like it here better. My only complaint is that my home page is weird sometimes and doesn’t show posts newer than a day or two.

[–] Acrimonious@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Lemmy, reddit is more active and has more content but Lemmy will get there. The front page is awful now. It's full of ads and suggested crap. I subscribed to things for a reason. I liked seeing posts I cared about. This shoving content down my throat approach curiously made me get off the site sooner.

Lemmy by fucking MILES.

  • no ads
  • no enshittificafion
  • federated ecosystem
  • OSS
  • self-hostable
  • no aggregate karma (so karma farming/selling is completely meaningless)
  • userbase genuinely feels a lot less dumb
  • loads of other things that I’m forgetting/too lazy to fully enumerate right now
[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I deleted 2 Reddit account with over 10M combined karma during the shit show last year. Have never gone back. Lemmy is a million times better, even if I'm missing some of my local communities.

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Only lemmy. I visit reddit maybe once a week now

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Is this a trick question

[–] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy for good content and discussion. Reddit still has niche fan communities that will probably never migrate over here, but I can always hope.

[–] Panda@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

I prefer Lemmy, but unfortunately it is missing a lot of the communities I liked on Reddit, and there doesn't seem to be as much content. When I'm looking for information on a specific topic I'll still check out Reddit but I haven't logged in since the Reddit drama and don't plan to. I do hope Lemmy gets bigger, though.

[–] MxRemy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy for sure, I love this place so much!

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lemmy, overall. There are things I miss from Reddit but whenever I browse it now it's just so full of advertising.

[–] Sparkles@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

I like Lemmy more. I visit 4 subs on Reddit, not daily. I think it doesn’t have to be an either/or necessarily. I refuse to use their app. Rip baconreader.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~Are you serious? We're on Lemmy.~~

Definitely Reddit.

[–] loki@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).

Best of both worlds.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Doesnt matter reddit kicked me out, so...

[–] FriedRice@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Reddit was realy god in my local areal, so thats what immissinhg. Lemmy,isnt just there yet. Not many from my area. So yir i like Lemmy for the lack of adds, and for notsellinhg my data

[–] NahMarcas@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago
