Since Reddit killed almost all third party apps, and it’s clear they don’t really want them on their site, I’ve left Reddit for Lemmy. And Voyager is like a carbon copy of Apollo so the choice was easy.

I can’t stand the official Reddit app, and I feel like Narwhal’s days are numbered, no matter how optimistic det0ur is. Reddit has shown that they don’t keep their word.

I have unfortunately not fully divorced myself from it, but now that I have to use the official app, I just feel like I am inundated with posts that their algorithm decides I should see. Literally all I see is variations on AITA or other drama subs (amiwrong, twohottakes, redditonwiki, bestofredditorupdates, AITAH, etc…) and it’s just exhausting and boring. I used to enjoy reddit because I felt like I came away more educated (on some level) but now it just feels like Facebook. Oh and a shit ton of ads that absolutely suck.

Reddit is a fall back but without an account if I need to see if people are having issues with an online game for example. But other than that nah man.

Fuck em. Lemmy has enough cool stuff for me. I run out of content though after fifteen minutes though.

I’m going to be making my own mastodon server soon so I want to replace majority of my miscellaneous scrolling and commenting I was doing on twitter with that. I had deleted my twitter but brought it back because it’s one of the few exclusive ways I can communicate with brands or game companies to request new features. And it seems to work when I give feedback on there. So it’s hard to get rid of from a practical sense.

I haven’t been back there since they killed 3rd party apps.

I still go back to Reddit for a few niche communities that haven’t migrated to the Fediverse. I will never go back to randomly perusing it though. Lemmy has filled that function for me.
