Their app is such a pain though. Nofap challenge imposed by reddit. I am on day 30 already.
I went from 100+ subs down to just 9, but some communities simply don’t exist in lemmy.
I relapsed when I found out you can patch in your own key to still use third party apps 😬
Can I use RIF?
You’ve got my attention. Lack of third party apps is what keeps me away…
How do I patch my key into RiF?

maybe the fediverse is a nice place, while the mainstream platforms are just for dopamine
dopamine
This is a classy way of saying porn
Sure, but not only.
Exactly.
If you moderated a sub before the API ban and used the Boost app, then Boost still works for you. Thank god for my tiny sub.
Most of the niche subs don’t have equivalents here.
I just don’t use Reddit at all anymore.
Same. I don’t miss it. I’m really enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse!
/c/Risa is all I need.
Still, when I’m looking for a solution for a specific problem, reddit is basically the only reliable source at the moment.
Wish there was a quick way to search for posts across all instances using search engines.
Reddit has years of community data. Lemmy will get there one day as long as we keep at it.
Yeah. What Reddit has is the advantage of getting there first. We can catch up.
Wait until you need to read an answer to a technical question which was only answered on Reddit. Can’t wait when such pages will be replaced with Lemmy.
I was trying to find if is safe to mix LSD with energy drinks and the only place where someone was answering that was on reddit, restricted because is 18+ somehow. Had to use the tip given from OP to see it outside the app. The general consensus (because this shit can’t be properly researched) is that caffeine in general is not recommended with LSD.
Did you check erowid? They’re good in my experience.
I don’t actively use it either, but sometimes you’re trying to fix some esoteric error that no one has experienced since the existence of the Western Roman Empire and the only place where a solution exists is Reddit. In those cases I kinda have to visit that wretched hive.
Same. However, I have rarely been able to solve a technical problem with Reddit posts or comments. It’s a better source for random experiences about something.
For random technical problems with new software or hardware, Reddit quality is not as good as it used to be, IMHO.
For somewhat niche hobbies, like my mushroom growing, subjective experiences may be helpful to take into account. Reading dozens of different opinions about a problem in a hobby that has hundreds of different variables has its uses. (For example, if you want to test something specific, you can get an idea about the range of conditions to test.)
There are some communities that just don’t exist on Lemmy.
start it
It gets a bit boring after being the only poster for a while :(
Yes, but what about the userbase?
if you build it they will come
When looking something up, especially technical product information the best answer is still often a reddit link. That will change in the future but it will take time.
Old.reddit is the only way yo access this information without account but i paradoxically cant wait for them to shut it down cause the quicker reddit completely dies the faster other places will become knowledge hubs.
reddit has been talking about blocking search crawlers, so it may die (for you) that way first.

lol. And you know they won’t be fixing their own search engine any time soon. Its like they want their site to die jfc.
Ehhh, even for that I’ve had issues, even before the API stuff. The solutions I came across either came from casual word of mouth on Discord, tutorials on GitHub or forums other than Reddit.
It never was the pinnacle of knowledge, i am not on many different forums and only in the last year have started to avoid internet search where possible but often neither google or bing have satisfying results with only a single reddit link that may have the answer.
Sadly some of the more specific subs didn’t migrate to Lemmy :/
I recreated a few of my favs. Nobody posts. ☹️
Keep it up, maybe you’re establishing a lurker base that will spring into action on some random post eventually.

Same. I was wasting way too much time there anyway. The only thing I still use it for is discussions for TV shows.
LPT: Don’t use reddit because it’s a fucking dumpster fire.
You think we’re any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that’s the way it should be.
Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.
It’s more of a recycling bin fire
Compost fire (yes they can ignite).
I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.
It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.

Lol you went back for the porn
Give them a break, porn on the internet is notoriously difficult to find.
Don’t visit their stupid website
there’s a typo in your meme, op. The URL is supposed to look something like that
https://lemmy.ml/...
At least we know this situation will never occur in Lemmy because everyone would just jump to another instance - the joy of decentralised media.
A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.

That’s great and everybody should do that, but it’s beside the point that an app running code on your device is there. It’s even better to do all of the above and still not use the bullshit apps when there is a website available.
I use GrapheneOS and I still don’t install anybody’s app. Discounts on hamburgers with an app? Fuck that. No app for you.
Actually yeah I do install some apps, but most are open source from F-Droid.
google ads can easily be dns blocked, about reddit ads… yeah.
there’s a reason why I’ve been using an unofficial client.Removed by mod

We don’t go to Ravenholm.
Their next claim: Use our app or it will rain all day!
/s
I’d never go back to Reddit again if the several game projects I beta test for in my spare time would migrate over to lemmy.

Same. Their reasoning and the warning in general make no sense. Why would it be safer to view “unreviewed content” (wetf that means) in their app vs a browser?
Stop using reddit
Tell that to all the amateur porn creators! Lemmy is severely lacking content in that category unfortunately
