If there's a good enough android app then yeah I will stick around. It is in my view the better reddit. Just needs more communities.

Yes!
I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.
That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.
I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.
I remember joining reddit a few years back, and it was on the cusp of when it became a cesspool. I wouldn't post often (Maybe twice a month), but every time the engagement became less and less useful. Kind like how stack overflow users can never actually give you a helpful answer, they only link to other vaguely related ones, Reddit became "Oh, it's because x and y" to "Oh god you're so fucking stupid it's obviously Z".
And I just kinda dipped out to lurking on twitter, and then twitter became so god awful that I can't even open the app without feeling like humanity lost its way.
Anyways other than that Kbin has been doing me justice. I've never been more active on any other platform.
I will stay if you all stay. The site we want is the one with the people. I got sick of talking to bots and seeing ads disguised as social commentary. I would love to have a place to learn and socialize without constantly being bought and sold.
I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.
I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.
Also "a serious Reddit user since the digg incident" and won't be going back. There are some communities I'll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.
Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time
Yes I'd be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don't vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything.... Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.
The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can't bring about change. I hope you'll all stay too
Yes, after Boost for reddit stops working.
I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.
wefwef app is amazing so I am staying here
Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!
Maybe, it seems cool. Still got alot to learn. Like why am I seeing stuff I'm not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. At this point I don't know if it's a problem with the app, the instance or what. But I'll learn I'm sure.
Probably the app. Jerboa filters it properly so far anyway.
I plan on it if more people come over and the communities grow. So far I have been checking the sub-Reddits I am subscribed to for info about them migrating to Lemmy
Yes, I hope I can use it instead of reddit altogether
Yesterday, you said tomorrow... Don't let your dream be dreams. Do IT!
I'm doing.
@fm0d @vreraan Haha, this was basically my journey over to #Linux 😂 And frankly, it was also my journey over to the #Fediverse as a whole!One day I just decided that enough was enough, and I had to practice what I preached.
So here I am, Linux, Fediverse and all!

Yes, especially after the 30th. Right now im still browsing it every so often mostly because my sync app still works and I just really like the app... But after the 30th i'm mostly done with reddit.
Is there any way to do actual Polls with Lemmy?
