Yeah same, most communities i frequent on Reddit haven’t transitioned yet or is still tiny so I kinda juggle between the two apps.
Lemmy is nice for tech and nerdy subreddits but that’s pretty much it rnow

Exactly, pushing people away is not how you grow a platform
Like, what happened to just downvoting low effort or low “quality” posts? Do we have to pass IQ tests to allow users on Lemmy now?
Yeah same. Mixed feelings about all of this
Like you said, big communities here have been pretty great, but the smaller communities I frequent on Reddit (Talking about genshin and Honkai subreddit which aren’t event small) are pretty dead here.
I talk a lot about the casual community of Reddit and how I wish Lemmy could attract those users. I see Meta as a way for this casual community to come here, but then again, Meta is bleh
Exactly. Ease of use can truly impact the growth of a platform.
Like, I’m sure most people on Lemmy are a bit tech savvy, but the overall user just want to make 1 account and be able to access everything.
Right now, Threads is doing a “good” job by integrating themselves with Instagram. Don’t even need to create a new account if you have Insta, just pop in and start using it.
Yeah people just want an alternative to Twitter. As long as it does the primary function (tweet) and has the users, it will grow.
Ya pretty much double-edge sword
On one hand, Instagram users can bring a ton of content, which “should” be good for the overall website
On the other, it’s Meta lol
Lowkey it’s pretty garbage lol.
But it’s by Facebook and a lot of people are already joining it. I feel like if anyone can compete with twitter it’ll be them (even though I genuinely despite Zuck)
So is fediverse basically a bunch of servers, and Lemmy and Mastodon are like, different interfaces to access those servers? (I’m not sure I understand how fediverse works)
Truly hoping for performance improvement. I’m getting so many complains from users at work because of teams low performance
I guess Facebook and Instagram didn’t completely lui themselves yet? That’s already better than Twitter lol
Yea I saw some workarounds for Android but IOS is still kinda lagging behind.
I’m barely using main reddit now tbh. Mostly check it like once-twice a day to see if I missed any news and move on
I’m using Memmy for now. It works pretty well, aside from the issues with Lemmy servers.
Flip flopping between Lemmy and Reddit ever since they killed Apollo. The main app is just a pain to use so it definitely killed my enjoyment of browsing reddit
There’s a sysadmin “subreddit” (dunno how people call it here) if you’re looking for it
deleted by creator
Yeah pretty much.
Like as much as I dislike reddit, they still have the communities I interact with the most.
Lemmy is cool but it’s mainly techy and nerdy stuff that I’m not that into.
