Reddit being absolutely horrendous is what moved me to this site. I wish there was more people and more prominent communities though.

Which is why I’m reading this here and not on Reddit

I’m so happy they started doing this. They made me want to really start switching to Lemmy

ENJOYING THIS REDDIT DOWNFALL? CONTINUE ON THE APP! Or else…

While I’ve been on Lemmy for a while, I haven’t really seen any hobby - centric or geek centric areas.

I’ll miss the movie threads in particular, but there were a ton of active crafts, art & ttrpg threads to get inspiration from. Any suggestions?

I’m sick of reddit. I’ve been banned three times for calling out Nazis. Nazis don’t get banned though

Reddit has some cool communities that don’t quite exist elsewhere, and even though I’ve found old-school forums for some of them, the vibe is different (usually older people who are often retired and can’t envision not having money or free time).

I used to pay a sub to Reddit but stopped back when they shafted Apollo. I wonder how things might have gone had Reddit focused on its community rather than the sad process of enshitificafion.

Fuck ‘em. We’re here anyway

Reddit thinks they’re an exclusivity club nowadays. Love that mentality for them, just a platform full of bots, misinformation purposed for political polarization.

They wouldn’t even let me delete my account last week, “errors occured” so I just uninstalled. Good riddance.

reddit is dead

They probably are tightening down to try and slow AI scraper bots.

Either way, I’ve mostly given up Reddit for Lemmy anyway. I looked the other day and realized I haven’t even commented on Reddit in 4 months.

I found something interesting when I check a few hours ago. I was logged out to set the stage. I goto the main page it works. I use the search bar to find a sub and it works. But all the links on that subs page to related subs direct you to the “You have to log in”

So I was like, hmm what if I type one of these links into the search bar and see if I can get the link that way? It worked I could access the link that previous required a log in

I’m sure they will close that loophole and reddit will continue its decline…

Good. I knew reddit was going down the tubes when they stopped API access to 3rd parties.

Let it burn down.

Reddit has gotten really lame, there’s always been saddos who troll through entire post history’s when they can’t win an argument.

Lately they’ve changed stratagies to calling people underage instead hoping mods delete accounts or something I guess. It just comes across as absolutely pathetic to me.

But yeah Reddit is definitely breaking old.reddit on purpose and will probably be just mostly bots soon .
