I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

    I haven’t contributed to anything on Reddit since the blackout, and have tweaked my bookmarks/phone habits to favor Lemmy now. Eventually, I will delete my account, but I am part of a few threads and specific communities that I still want to be notified about, so that won’t happen right away.

    It’s actually nice to start with a clean slate, and I’d much rather support Lemmy than some morally bankrupt, anti-community, “sometimes good, but mostly garbage” platform. LOL

    What will really be a game changer is if/when search engines or a browser plugin comes out that will link to Lemmy instead of Reddit for search results.
