I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

    These days the only time I use reddit is when I’m searching for some obscure question and that’s the only place with an obvious answer. Otherwise, Lemmy is doing everything I needed reddit to do.

      Unfortunately, the more noche your hobbies, the less lemmy is able to replace Reddit. Stuff like news, gaming, politics? Lemmy is great. Do you want a community for an obscure martial art? Then you go to old school forums or Reddit.

        It’s true I lost out on some of the engagement for a number of my hobbies. I’m less in touch than I was.

        Turns out I can manage like that just fine, though, so…

        Niche gaming is really rough too. I sim race, there’s maybe a million people worldwide who consistently engage with the hobby. The subreddits were already quiet, and on Lemmy there’s like 4 active users over the last few months.

        I’ve found myself on Reddit a lot more recently cause I want to be in the know about what’s happening.
