Asklemmy

more irritated than anything - mostly because there arent a lot of lemmy apps on android yet. it'll get better in ~6 months

Of course, change is hard. But I'm excited to scope out and learn new technology like Lemmy. Decentralization is the future, and it's pretty exciting.

I feel excited because I see the potential here. It's not just another app, it's another internet if it becomes very popular.

Yeah, reddit has always been my favorite type of social media. Especially being able to choose your own communities and being free of most algorithm shenanigans is what made me love it. I hope they turn around, and otherwise I hope Lemmy becomes more active and popular. It would suck to lose such an unique type of social media.

Reddit has made me discover many things in 5 years of using it, and I would have never become a Linux user without it. Nevertheless, platform come and go, and it's time to move, as usually happens once in a while. It's not wise to get affectionate to websites

Not sad, just disappointed. They could have the perfect app and they ruined it, all just for more money.

I'm gonna miss the posts, communities, and history. But Reddit itself, not really. It's just one big, bloated fourm site with a reputation that was already on a downward slope. Hopefully Lemmy will grow to be even greater, seeing as it's in the hands of the users than a company.

I just deleted my account and all my content, but I feel like it's going to be hard to not give them traffic. I often end up on niche subreddits searching for specific info.

Not much. There's so much mod & admin abuse nowadays that I developed kind of a resentment. On top of that there's a lot of rude or downright hateful user behavior that seems to not just not get punished, but in some cases even encouraged. The only thing that lets me endure it for now is simply the community relevant content. As for kbin it needs exactly that. More users and content. Functionality of the site is good enough to be usable for me and will surely also improve but we really need the people and content to bring everything together.

A little bit, there's a lot of specific subreddits I enjoyed browsing and talking in that have yet to reach a good critical mass here on Lemmy. I've been sharing my own custom Zelda monsters for Pathfinder 2e on the ZeldaTabletop subreddit and there's no substitute for that subreddit over here yet (I might make one once RiF dies on June 30th).

For me it's like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it's just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.

I think everything trends this way. I almost feel more excited for new opportunities in new platforms than disappointed at reddit.

My big fear right now is that Bandcamp will try to emulate Sp0tify instead of enhancing their unique strengths. Then I'd be seriously disappointed, and musically homeless.

It only really sets in as I'm scrolling through the replies. I'm going to miss all the communities I was a part of, especially r/otomeisekai and r/withesvspatriarchy. And I'm also going to miss the ui. I didn't have any social media until relatively late in their development process, so I'm not used to the look here yet.

Yeah, totally. But I'm also finding extremely cool Lemmy and the concept behind the fediverse

Not really. I didn't comment much, hell I've had an account over ten years and barely interacted with any community. Really, I'd just use it as a news source for my interests. Or to kill time on breaks at work and shit. Probably will miss some subs but my theory is they will pop up elsewhere. Perhaps not ran by the same people but that might be a good thing.

Yeah I’m honestly sad, but more sad about Apollo than Reddit. Seeing the big subs join the protest and seeing the activity here has been a nice silver lining though. I just don’t want to see the really specific/niche groups on Reddit die. So I hope they come here 🥺

8 years of LTL on old reddit and RiF, and it's a weird mixture of grief and freedom at the same time.

The sad part is potentially losing all the information, communities, etc. You can pretty much expect any company to go bad, so it makes no sense to get attached to a company.

Kind of - I'd just hung around because they hadn't given me a single, strong reason to leave. 3rd party apps getting crushed was the kick up the ass I needed

I'm going to miss reddit but I'm also excited because I really like the idea of the fediverse and I'm hoping this makes it take off even more. People need to start moving away from centralized social media IMHO, how many times do platforms need to get ruined before people realize centralized platforms run by megacorps always end the same?

Yes, i do. I just deleted my main account using the PowerDeleteSuite, I am (was) used to log in every morning. I will miss it, but it was inevitable; eventually, al social media platforms die off due to "enshittification".

I hope for a long stay with Lemmy! I deleted Facebook in 2011, Twitter when Musk bought it, never jumped on Instagram, Tumblr or Tiktok. Stumbleupon for me died when the VCC capital forced the site to redirect to advertised pages. Popurls is now upstract.com, a shadow of its former self....oh well. I guess I am getting old and starting to yell at clouds LOL.

Had an account for 11 years but lurked for a few before. Yes. I been expecting it for years since its been declining but still going to miss it.

I sucks but I did the same thing with Digg when it turned to shit.

Reddit peaked like eight or ten years ago. I am so ready for this. I have been doing everything in my power (completely ineffectively) to get the people and communities I care about to bridge to a libre network.
