When I moved from Digg to Reddit, I used to check back on Digg until eventually the content on Reddit became better than on Digg. The same will happen here.

It took me probably less than a month to completely stop checking Digg altogether. Reddit's decidedly less slick interface had me confused and the content wasn't as easy to digest as with Digg, but it didn't take long to completely abandon it. That was like ten years ago.
I guess a small point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't feel "shame" for checking reddit. You'll adjust and learn to love whichever alternative you choose
You're viewing a single thread.
And convince people to come and create content here.
More freedom, no ads, not a profit seeking private company, privacy respecting.
Yeah, those ads. I was getting so tired of seeing that Jesus wants me to join the army and buy stuff from Amazon. Jeez.
I didn’t see ads ever cus i was on Apollo, but that sounds terrible. They took my shiny Apollo away so now im gone too. Fuckem
Where were you seeing ads? Not on a browser (ublock origin) and not really on apps (ad blockers and 3rd party reddit apps).
I was seeing them on the Reddit app. 'Was too lazy to check out the alternative apps. If it wasn't for Lemmy, and the API fiasco, I'd check them out.
Not OP but Baconreader had ads but they were small, obvious, and always in the same place. So I left them there cause I figured gotta fund the thing somehow
Music to my ears. I mean honestly it just feels right compared to being essentially held hostage by chokepoint capitalism and all its fucking dark patterns and data mining.
