‘Front page of the internet’: how social media’s biggest user protest rocked Reddit
(www.theguardian.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I only use reddit for tech related inquiries, but besides that I quit it.
I went from 8 hours of screen time a day to an average of 2 to 3 hours and Lemmy often isn't on the top. For me it has to do with a lack of content at some point, but I started enjoying it like that. If there's nothing new, I shouldn't have a reason to stick around in an app
Well that’s the issue. Reddit as a tool/service is fine. The only thing that I have an issue with is the api / third party app stuff and their leadership. Subs like Homelab , league , etc are ones I used heavily and they still function the same more or less. I just lurk more and use Reddit in browser with an extension that helps.
Lemmy and the various instances and apps are cool, but the lack of content(or content creators rather) is what makes it a little depressing. Outside of memes and discussions like this, it doesn’t replace Reddit because the user base is like 10+ years behind. I can show up and find posts from days ago which just leads me to keep using Reddit and rss for new content
Same. The UI got so much worse on mobile.
That's why I use boost for Lemmy as well
