    Let’s be real - I don’t think reddit is going anywhere quite yet, even after this. It’s going to get worse and worse while heavily active users and mods start to leave and stuff, but it’s shambling corpse will still exist for a long time in a heavily advertised hell scape with shit to non-existant moderarion.

    The truth of the matter is that while the real die hards like us will find a home in places like this, the vast majority will not care. Honestly, I’m fine with that. Most the people coming in to places like that aren’t the ones driving good discussion

      Agreed, it’s honestly kinda refreshing to have a space with smaller, more engaged communities. The conversations I’ve had so far on here have been much more enjoyable than most I’ve had on reddit in the past few years.

        This is what I’ve liked the most about mastodon. Large communities do not mean better. Also the less content there is to consume, the more I think and share.

        I’m already checking lemmy more regularly than I am checking Reddit.

          exactly

          keep the low effort users on twitter/reddit and it makes the conversations on mastodon/lemmy feel a million times more fulfilling and engaging because the people that are here actually put in some effort to join

      I can definitely see reddit slowly declining like twitter has been, but never fully dying. I do wonder what will happen with content creators who have their communities there, will they move to fedi or will they stay like many did on twitter?

        It seems people are landing all over the place. I’m seeing raddle.me, tild.es, here, and discord being the main options.

        I honestly don’t get why discord is getting looked at. It’s a huge company that you don’t really want to trust with stuff either, and it’s not even a forum ffs
