I used it for awhile (I’ve been on Reddit for about 13 years)
Honestly though pulling more away from social media is good for my mental health. And making the experience more abrasive so it’s less of a passive thing is good.
i still lurk a lot. i have a rule against posting there though… which admittedly i did break recently, but only to plug lemmy. otherwise no posts/comments there in two years
I think since coming over here I’ve done like 2 dozen comments and a handful of posts (on Reddit), but considering I used to post and comment as much as I do here but over there I’d say that’s a lot of progress.
I’ve done over 3k comments and over 3 hundred posts here since joining in June of 2023.
I’m the same as the other guy, my rule is that I only post/comment about Lemmy when I use my reddit acount.
I used to only comment a few times per month when I used reddit but as soon as I started using Lemmy I started making hundreds of comments per month. Especially in the first few months, I got to 1k comments super fast. Since then I’ve slowed down a bit but still way more active than I was on reddit. This is my alt account btw.
It’s so much more rewarding to participate on Lemmy for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it feels like people actually care enough to read my comments and respond. On reddit it often seemed like shouting into the void. Plus, it’s a great feeling to be a part of something that’s community based and not just soulless corporate slop. Every time I check reddit, it feels so miserable and I wonder how I ever tolerated that site for so long.
I’ll still check sometimes on Reddit when I’m at my desk if I feel like it and I’ve got time, so like barely anymore.
When 3rd party apps died I moved here.
After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you’ll get banned, I’m just waiting to catch ban over there.
Use Reddit Enhancement Suite. You’ll thank me later.
makes red it much more usable and easy on the eyes.
