I miss the old topic specific internet forums so badly, but having tons of different accounts made the barrier to entry high so I understand why they died out.

uh no not really. I'm just here for memes and doomscrolling
me too. far too many fundamentalists running around already
I'm sometimes checking reddit now, because Lemmy is mostly memes. Where are the discussions? Why aren't they taking place?
But obviously not using their shitty app. Just browser with adblocking.

Stop talking about your ex
slashdot.org > digg > reddit > lemmy.
always 100% until hard pivot to next 100%
Exactly same path, but Google Reader instead of shashdot.org
Btw, I was always curious why people abandoned /. as it didn't have any drama iirc.
I'm Lemmy 99%. Can't do 100% because sometimes there isn't an equivalent community on Lemmy so I have no choice but to use Reddit.
Never post on Reddit never browser it and ask my questions on here. Sometimes I look at a Reddit post for an answer to an obscure question but if itβs something I ask I use Lemmy.
Deleted my old account(s) a few weeks back, when i use reddit now its usually from the browser just to see the answer to something, no more accounts for me.
Yes, since I don't have a Reddit account
I wanna get off Lemmy/all eventually, but everything kinda stuck there
I only post or reply on Lemmy, but I do have Stealth for Reddit still for those really bad doom scrolling days.
If there's a community here for something and it's active, I post here. If not, I post elsewhere.
Depends if the community came over here with me or not.
I haven't contributed to Reddit since the API fiasco. I will sometimes still read it but a lot less than before. I contribute here now.
100% of what?
