I personelly think lemmy users doesn't just have that reddit feel where if you referenced something most people will get it or when you say something everyone will say the same thing and fill the thread .and people on lemmy seems to think they are absolutely right.

(EDIT :I am not saying i miss these thing or like them even though i kinda do i am just saying things like that were a part of reddit culture like how 4chan have their on culture. Like lemmy is supposed to be a reddit alternative but now there are no niche subs and everyone is too into politics it just doesn't feel like a reddit alternative .) .

I have been on lemmy for more than 2 months and i mostly lurked or had temp accounts with different usernames (there were only one or two which i have now closed) but this place seems more serious than lighthearted fun but i will still stay here becuase f**k corpos . So these are my views and opinion what do you guys think ?

EDIT: I must include one thing which is on reddit i have never had a real account i just made one or two the entire time i used it which were throwaways that i used to view a post from "subs that are not reviewed" and may not be safe (unless in their app of course -logic.exe missing) or comment . Here i have aldready decided to create a permanent account and start contributing to the communities and i have only been here for 2 months. And i guess i just used reddit to access information and just didn't felt the need to have an acc or contrubute .END RANT.

EDIT : DO READ THE EDITS.

EDIT : I AM NOT IMPLYING OR EVEN WANT ANYONE TO GO BACK I REALLY DO WANT LEMMY TO BE BETTER . I AM NIT SHOUTING I AM JUST AFRAID SOME PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA . AND FOR WHAT ITS WORTH IN MY OPINION REDDIT IS SHIT COMPARED TO LEMMY. SO PLEASE NO ONE GO BACK AND IF YOU HAVE ANY REDDIT FRIENDS INVITE THEM HERE.

Duno i dont even think about reddit anymore. I just enjoy beeing able to post in comunitys that have actuall working moderation instead of side wide mods that dont get niche cultural refferrences.

I really miss the worthless internet points.

[–] ONRYO@feddit.ch 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Can't agree or disagree because i never had a real account.

On kbin / mbin you can see your worthless internet points again (as well as who it was that upvoted or downvoted you). You can live in that world once more.

mozz i don't care about internet points why are you tellin me ?

[–] mozz@mbin.grits.dev 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That sounds like exactly what someone with only 39 internet points would say

[–] Kierunkowy74@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Wait, kbin.social shows that ONRYO has got already 236 rep
You are not seeing everything ;)

All I can say is, lmao

Hmm. Yeah, I think it's less of either one dying, but a stirring event causing a sorting.

I didn't like what was happening over there, so I tried anything but reddit for a while, and the fediverse fit me better, so I settled here.

For the first few months after the API disaster I used Lemmy exclusively but then I came out as trans and went back to Reddit to read and participate in the trans subreddits because on Lemmy they don't have as many participants, resources and info.

Right now I'm at a point where I don't need it as much anymore and I'm ready to slowly get back to Lemmy only.

Although I mainly use Bluesky now since many artists switched to it and the feed is so much more controllable compared to Mastodon.

Edit: I edited the edit because people were not reading the edits when I created new edits

Edit : also I miss edits

Edit: BTW I am not saying edits are good or bad.

I'm active on both sites, my Reddit profile not being a secret to most communities on Lemmy. I don't see so much of an issue regarding either one, the transition not being any different from, say, alternating between Netflix and Amazon. The only thing I'd say bugs me is in fact the Reddit complaints, since people on almost every single site I've been to with a place for complaints have complained at least once about Reddit, like it's trendy even though it's actually better than most sites.
