How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?
I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.
Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.
Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!
The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.
EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!
EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.
I feel like I see more of that here, at least because there are no active replacements yet for the niche subreddits I used to participate in which were actually moderated to remove low-effort comments. I would never have posted in /r/politics if I wanted to discuss a controversial topic, but here I feel like that's the only option.
That's a good counterpoint - in Reddit, large subs often work as containment cages for the morons; Lemmy is simply not large enough to have this distinction yet. And perhaps the topic also has some influence, I feel like people in Lemmy are emotionally more strongly attached to their political views than in Reddit, this is not bad per se but people often get irrational when they're emotionally attached to a subject.
Yeah, Reddit users will call you a transphobic slur and move on. Lemmy users will harass you for months for being trans. cough hexbear
