MODERATORS
Reddit for sure. But I absolutely refuse to use their app so I use it in the web browser but not a lot because reddit sucks on mobile. So I mostly use Lemmy on my phone.
On desktop I use both.
Still stuck between both, but when Iβm on reddit Iβm using a sideloaded version of Apollo with my own API key while logged out, so theoretically they canβt actually collect any data.
Reddit is obviously more active, even though a huge chunk of that activity is bots, but I like it here better. My only complaint is that my home page is weird sometimes and doesnβt show posts newer than a day or two.
Lemmy
Reddit definitely has more users and more communities that don't exist here but I prefer lemmy because no ads and no corporation trying to sell my data
Lemmy is better, but the communities I care the most about and want to give the most to aren't on lemmy, so I don't really have the luxury of using it quite as much as I'd like. I do like it here, though
lemmy doesn't have spez, so lemmy is better.
Lemmy, reddit is more active and has more content but Lemmy will get there. The front page is awful now. It's full of ads and suggested crap. I subscribed to things for a reason. I liked seeing posts I cared about. This shoving content down my throat approach curiously made me get off the site sooner.
I deleted 2 Reddit account with over 10M combined karma during the shit show last year. Have never gone back. Lemmy is a million times better, even if I'm missing some of my local communities.
Lemmy by fucking MILES.
- no ads
- no enshittificafion
- federated ecosystem
- OSS
- self-hostable
- no aggregate karma (so karma farming/selling is completely meaningless)
- userbase genuinely feels a lot less dumb
- loads of other things that Iβm forgetting/too lazy to fully enumerate right now
lemmy, but I still check reddit after I'm done here
Only lemmy. I visit reddit maybe once a week now
Is this a trick question
I prefer Lemmy, but unfortunately it is missing a lot of the communities I liked on Reddit, and there doesn't seem to be as much content. When I'm looking for information on a specific topic I'll still check out Reddit but I haven't logged in since the Reddit drama and don't plan to. I do hope Lemmy gets bigger, though.
Lemmy for good content and discussion. Reddit still has niche fan communities that will probably never migrate over here, but I can always hope.
I like Lemmy more. I visit 4 subs on Reddit, not daily. I think it doesnβt have to be an either/or necessarily. I refuse to use their app. Rip baconreader.
Lemmy, overall. There are things I miss from Reddit but whenever I browse it now it's just so full of advertising.
Reddit was realy god in my local areal, so thats what immissinhg. Lemmy,isnt just there yet. Not many from my area. So yir i like Lemmy for the lack of adds, and for notsellinhg my data
Mostly on Lemmy with Voyager, and sometimes check Reddit with Libreddit (until it lasts).
Best of both worlds.
~~Are you serious? We're on Lemmy.~~
Definitely Reddit.
Lemmy, teddit and libreddit
Doesnt matter reddit kicked me out, so...
