People who still use both Reddit and Lemmy and are slowly leaving Reddit. How do you do it?
I have noticed that I’m very often on Reddit through either Apollo or the website out of mere habit (possibly even addiction). However, I have also noticed that the more I use Reddit, the more I feel agitated by all the negativity and toxicity from the users.
This is pretty much in all subreddits I’m active in. Mostly in piracy and piratedgames, people quarrel over the most trivial things and downvote each other for no reason at all.
Unfortunately, Lemmy has less content than Reddit. Though, I can’t call what is on Reddit content anymore.
Outside of one community I use to track sales for a niche hobby, my main use of reddit is looking up old threads. There’s nothing new on there that’s helpful anymore. I like looking up old episode discussion threads for TV shows that I’m watching for the first time, for instance.
I wish Lemmy was a good alternative. But without enough people using it, it can’t really come close to a replacement. All my interests are more niche too, and I hate Discord, so it leaves me out here touching grass.
Reddit’s always been toxic, it’s just worse the more MAGA and AI came to prominence (also a lot of what appears to be Russian astrotufing, but that might just be the subs I used).
Unfortunately, Lemmy’s not always better. I’ve been trying to figure out which instances to avoid, because I am really tired of certain people harping on about certain things.
