Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
Reddit didn’t feel like social media either for the longest time until it did.
If the users create the content, it is social media
It all went downhill after the Digg exodus, for me. But even then there were small safe haven subreddits, until those started to disappear too.
agreed. what I like about lemmy is the federated community run aspect of it. it will be much harder for corporate overlords to infiltrate and corrupt, as there isn’t a central organization/entity they can buy to gain control. or, that’s the theory anyway.
