I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

Nobody should feel bad for using Reddit to deshittify Google searches. That’s just what has happened.
I do look at r/opera sometimes because there’s no community here, but only once in a great while, and I do look at the monthly list that the ban pit bulls subreddit keeps of pitbull attacks/deaths, because it’s absolutely frightening every month how long if is.
I really hope this place grows and local communities like r/Maine and r/PortlandMe grow here. Talking about local things is my favorite part of reddit.
Also if we could make a post without a link that would be great.
Surprisingly my city has a community here. Not very active but it is here!
I don’t browse or even log in to reddit anymore. I don’t feel bad for searching out specific things. Since the audience is so much larger, there’s niches that just haven’t been replaced by Lemmy or other services. Sports, media discussion, and old tech advice threads are the ones I’ll still go over for.
Using reddit makes me feel bad. It’s full of such inflammatory rage bate. Even in the niche communities I was part of, there were multiple posts every day just stirring the pot. Lemmy right now reminds me of reddit in its early days, back when people were trying to have actual, meaningful discussions.
After the api-gate, I had a moment where I asked myself “what things have I actually learned on reddit that I otherwise wouldn’t have learned?” And the answer was nothing. Actual, helpful, insightful discussions just don’t get attention over there anymore. I get way more mileage out of my RSS feed than reddit.
I’ve found the tone here on Lemmy to be more positive and more informative. Don’t change, y’all.
