How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
How many of you have pulled the plug and deleted reddit already?
Im working up the courage to. Ill never go back, but it is also hard to delete that much history just for a statement
You're viewing a single thread.
I have. And i would love for it to be permanent, but that's going to depend on if Lemmy continues to build content. At the end of the day, I like this platform but without content I won't stay. Current momentum is looking fantastic though, and I will continue to comment and add my pieces!
I find lemmy too complex and technical to succeed...
I found reddit complex once upon a time. I think once people wrap their heads around instances, everything else is easy.
For example, have you tried mentioning a user in a comment? it shows every corresponding username in every instance....
Right, but the nice thing here is you can actually fix this, or suggest how it should work instead, and there's a way to get it sorted out. Something on Reddit annoys you? Scream into the void and cope with it, mostly.
There's a lot that can be done to make it simpler and easier given enough time.
More importantly than that though, as long as any fediverse-enabled platform takes off, then it actually doesn't matter if it "succeeds" (if by succeed you mean millions of users). Do I care if somebody uses Kbin instead of Lemmy? Hell no. Kbin's success is Lemmy's success and vice-versa.
The measure of success is not Lemmy user numbers. The measure of success is fediverse user numbers.
How could I use Lemmy to see outside Fediverse content?
