I use Lemmy more than I ever used Reddit. It seems to be better at finding higher quality content
Lemmy really feels like early Reddit right now. I mean that in a good way. And not to flex but I'm saying that as someone with a 16 year old Reddit account haha.
Same here. I feel Reddit changed for the worse so slowly that I had completely forgotten what the glory days were like until I came to Lemmy. I forgot that there was actual discussion in the comments rather than the same ten lazy comments ad naseum.
I'm kinda surprised Lemmy is losing users since it feels like there is more engagement since I joined earlier this year.
There's so much of the "same ol" on reddit.
Top posts seem to follow a structure. Top 5 comments are the same jokes. A lot of the askreddit is regurgitating from a year ago.
Honestly it feels like chatting with AI bots. And I wouldn't be surprised if reddit is secretly inflating their numbers.
i can't definitively say the bots are keeping reddit afloat, but its the bots keeping reddit afloat. before i left the anime memes sub (the normal one, not one of the infinite crappy off shoots) was nothing but bots.
