Seeing a lot of threads seeking validation for their choice to move from Reddit (lemmy.world)

Fuck /u/spez and all of that. It would be my 13th cake-day on July 7th 💩and I won't be on Reddit to celebrate because the account will have been shredded and deleted.

I'm glad we finally have an alternative (seemingly)decided on. I guess there isn't much else to talk about until 7/1 when a lot of blissfully ignorant reddit users realize they can't post anymore on their favorite app, when I think we'll see the biggest surge of new users. It feels as though the lack of conversation and "low" userbase - compared to reddit, is prompting users to ask if they made the right choice...

"Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on >Lemmy than Reddit?"

"POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?"

"let’s cut the “Reddit” circle jerk and start actually making >content"

It's too early for those questions and of course people are going to be talking about Reddit, it's our old home. I was a user on Digg before Reddit, the big difference was that Digg V4 blindsided us, we knew a change was coming but had no idea it would be that bad. /u/spez was so nice as to tell us we were fucked a month or so in advance.

The point is, chill out, explore this community and others if you're inclined and don't stress, the rest will follow along in time:

Make sure you have that GDPR archive before you use shreddit. If you don't have one yet, timelines are being updated on https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread

Or if you don't want to wait, there's another way, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than

I think some people just need to vent, it's understandable IMO, I too needed that before I stopped caring at all.

I kinda love the smaller population here and elsewhere. Reddit was too big a crowd, too centralized. I like being more scattered, and making genuine connections that aren't drowned in a sea of wisecracks and insults competing for 'karma'.
