honestly. i’m still stuck to reddit because of the content only, and if i found a suitable alternative for that niche i’d finally be free to leave. i hate reddit- i hate the app, the “features”, the admins, all of that, but i LOVE the content itself
I loved what users posted and commented as well, but it was all niche subreddits. The broad, popular ones were garbage and thus avoided.
Same, and many of the communities here remind me of those, perhaps in part because of the smaller userbase
I like to use the Imgur app for browsing content now that I've stopped using reddit. The navigation is different, but it's usually a lot more positive of an experience.
The content has gotten significantly worse.
Maybe we should find an ad agency and crowd source funds to make slick advertisements for Lemmy and Mastodon. I feel like you should promote a specific instance for each though, and avoid the "join-mastodon" page.
The way the instances are split does not generally make much sense for the user. It's extremely arbitrary. We all know why, and that it's not a bad thing altogether, but it's bad for the user experience. That aspect of federation is not something we should promote.
