This right here. I think it helps to rip the bandage off. I’ve been here for 20 days or so now and the first few were kinda tough. Replacing Apollo with Lemmy on my phone helped with the muscle memory and habit part. Now that we’re building a community, we have fresh content I’ve never seen before and I don’t really miss Reddit at all.
Yeah, the amount of reddit-related posts on here kinda shows that people would rather be on reddit. Seems like reddit is living rent free in the minds of quite a lot of people.
I didn’t use Reddit during the “Golden era” before the changes and redesign, but I really love Lemmy, the simplicity and feel of community is great. I think I found my new internet home here
I just wish there were fully developed apps ready for it. I'm using mlem but it also is missing quite some features for now.
Once that's done, it's goodbye reddit.
The lemmy mascot wearing a suit looks really weird/nice to me. Maybe one should make a 3d model or edited image of the mascot wearing a suit without a human skull and skin behind it.
IMO I think Reddit is living just a little too rent free on Lemmy (and the rest of the fediverse). People should be deciding whether or not to leave Reddit for their own sake, if the platform no longer suits their interests and values, not to protest or "stick it to Spez" or anything. They have already made it clear that no amount of protesting or anything else will convince them of anything, so don't waste your effort.
