Ive been enjoying Lemmy again after uninstalling reddit after growing tired of seeing nothing but bad news in my feed (probably something I could fix but at the same time I was supposed to have left the site anyways), reddit still has the edge in content but Lemmy is still a good time killer for me.

Whatβs a ReDdiT?
Lemmy is safer than Reddit to me, and it looks like other people here would probably agree.
Reddit is full of haters, bots, and spam.
Lemmy doesnβt have any of that.
You can engage in social discussion better here.
I deleted my Reddit account - way too toxic, too much racism (Russia-hate).
Browse both Reddit (stealth) and Lemmy. But I post only on Lemmy
By now, Lemmy, hands down. I do sometimes end up on reddit from searching for stuff, and I check every now and then if I got any messages on my old accounts just in case someone wants to reach out, but overall - even without niche communities, Lemmy is just the better experience for me, personally.
Lemmy. Though I do check out the live formula 1 race thread on Reddit when there's a race on. There is also one on lemmy, but it's pretty dead.
I use both but I'll ditch reddit as soon as I can't patch apps like Infinity with my own api key. Reddits more active but it's also horrible to use if you don't jump through hoop.
I hate reddit but I was forced to go there since I apparently have nice interested, but they started going private and now I just use reddit for porn curation
Lemmy for sure, I love this place so much!
They IP banned me. So they can suck my 8 inches.
