Reddit just feels like hive mind jokes and reposts, but on lemmy people are genuinely interacting so it feels more engaging (which don't get me wrong, happens on reddit too, you just have to sift through all the stupid marinara flag jokes)

I've noticed that Lemmy has been shedding a lot of the Reddit style toxicity that was brought here from the influx. Presumably that has something to do with the terminally on Reddit people leaving.

I think that a lot of people grew up on reddit and come here trying to do the same nonsense, only to not get traction, become bored, and leave.

It's okay, you can swear on the internet.

Lemmy is losing users?

please explain what's going on.

All I know as I get to know lemmy using sync I'm a little frustrated because my feed is limited and doesn't let me infinitely scroll and it only updates like once a day which is frustrating because I would scroll forever if I could. But it doesn't let me. It dead ends Then there are simply no posts. I have to come back the next day. perhaps this is built-in on purpose to make sure we don't spend & lose our lives here.

Also:

Lemmy is losing users

Lemmy is using losers 😆

Yeah! What OP said.

I actually don't care about what reddit did. But I care about that the client is so much faster without all the ads, bloat they put in. Here Lemmy wins and it is Reddit fault they are so greedy and not caring about the user.

Upside of a small community: more interaction between the users that do comment.

Downside of a small community: if someone's a dick, you can't really completely get away from them.

But the question is, can you handle one dick, or do you prefer dealing with hundreds?

Has reddit reversed their API charge?

I've been away awhile but I haven't been using reddit either which is probably the best outcome tbh

[–] Borkingheck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

So are actual numbers of users down?

Every time I've gone back to Reddit, I've just seen the local communities I used to like getting incredibly right wing with the increasing number of wolf whistles in the comments. Or pro weed nonsense

And honestly, it just felt like doom scrolling and a waste of time. It has grown now to the point it's just basically the Facebook crowd.

Lemmy is sufficiently busy, and much better quality. And there is more to think about when reading comments
