due to the rolling blackout… I think it’s had its effect.
I think I am done with reddit.
it’s a shame because as someone who doesn’t use Facebook it was nice to have a sense of local community I otherwise don’t get online.
I still think besides the few odd regulars who brought the vibe down every chance they could, it was a genuinely great subreddit.
anyway, I’m just curious how many of you are well and truly done with reddit? not even going back for a peak?
I agree that the depth and size of userbase is key. I don’t think its unrealistic to expect lemmy to have a better commenter to reader ratio, so we don’t necessarily need the scale of reddit… but I do agree more than is here now.
The coming weeks will determine the long-term course of Lemmy, I think. My encouragement to people is “read on reddit if you must, but only post to lemmy/kbin/federated”. That is easier to hold to than a “no reddit” diet, and it will starve reddit in the long-term. Its more realistic to get posters to stop posting to reddit than to get readers to stop reading. YMMV.
