Asklemmy

Sometimes it's time for a change.

I'm used to the layout of RIF and my niche subreddits NCD/Ukraine Conflict, NBA but I'm posting here and trying to add to the community. Hoping for a better mobile app one day though:X

Same as you OP. Lots of years and lots of memories. But it's for the best and I'm looking for something fresh.

No it's long since passed it's prime when it stood for something nows its just a cash grab.

As Ivan Drago says if he dies , he dies

Of course, change is hard. But I'm excited to scope out and learn new technology like Lemmy. Decentralization is the future, and it's pretty exciting.

Yeah, reddit has always been my favorite type of social media. Especially being able to choose your own communities and being free of most algorithm shenanigans is what made me love it. I hope they turn around, and otherwise I hope Lemmy becomes more active and popular. It would suck to lose such an unique type of social media.

For me it's like moving to a small town. Instead of a whole scene into each if my weird interests it's just a few cool people. But thats just a function of population.

I'm gonna miss the posts, communities, and history. But Reddit itself, not really. It's just one big, bloated fourm site with a reputation that was already on a downward slope. Hopefully Lemmy will grow to be even greater, seeing as it's in the hands of the users than a company.

I just deleted my account and all my content, but I feel like it's going to be hard to not give them traffic. I often end up on niche subreddits searching for specific info.

Yes I am a little sad. I just deleted my account(s) this morning. 7 years on Reddit, and it was my go-to platform. But it is clear that Reddit does not care about its users, so I won't be using Reddit anymore

Yes. It feels like moving to a new town and having to meet new neighbours, make new friends, know the neighbourhood and all that

Yeah, totally. But I'm also finding extremely cool Lemmy and the concept behind the fediverse

I'm mostly sad about losing the communites i loved, for which I have not yet found a comarable one on lemmy. r/cars and r/cartalk mostly

It only really sets in as I'm scrolling through the replies. I'm going to miss all the communities I was a part of, especially r/otomeisekai and r/withesvspatriarchy. And I'm also going to miss the ui. I didn't have any social media until relatively late in their development process, so I'm not used to the look here yet.

I do. I’ve gotten so much value out of it. I ended up deleting my account and comments to give as much teeth to all of this as I can, and while I realize there’s not a lot of value for me personally in my history, it does make me sad for the knowledge lost. I think it’s necessary for Reddit to feel enough pain to change course (if they will at all) but it still makes me sad.

Yeah, it's a lot of value destroyed and many communities and individuals will never make the switch. It's a sad thing, even if there is new opportunity as we see with Lemmy.

Yes, i do. I just deleted my main account using the PowerDeleteSuite, I am (was) used to log in every morning. I will miss it, but it was inevitable; eventually, al social media platforms die off due to "enshittification".

I hope for a long stay with Lemmy! I deleted Facebook in 2011, Twitter when Musk bought it, never jumped on Instagram, Tumblr or Tiktok. Stumbleupon for me died when the VCC capital forced the site to redirect to advertised pages. Popurls is now upstract.com, a shadow of its former self....oh well. I guess I am getting old and starting to yell at clouds LOL.

No; good riddance.
