    It’s difficult for me to give any less of a shit about Reddit. I’m perfectly happy with Lemmy.

      It’s been a hard habit to break after 15 years, but I’m getting there.

        Luckily for me reddit made it easy by killing 3rd party apps and I only ever browsed it with RiF.

          Same, when the app I used stopped working, I tried the reddit default one and bailed out after like 5 minutes of using that ad riddled shitpile

          I still have it installed and even though it doesn’t and will never work, I still like to open it, and have it once again try to retrieve posts only to return “forbidden”. I do it for old time’s sake, like a digital pouring one out for RIF and the Reddit I used to know.

          They have yet to kill old, but I assume it’s coming, and there’s no way I’m tolerating the new interfaces.

        I still have to google search reddit when I’m looking for specific info like opinions on games. Unfortunately lemmy’s not reasonable to search, and Reddit has a much bigger userbase with a longer time to accumulate info about most topics.

      Went to reddit to see what the top posts were. Not much has changed.

      “I kicked a puppy. AITA?”

      “Gang of teens beat up an elderly homeless guy. Not ragebait.”

      “What are you favorite dating tips? Help me write my fluff article.”

        99% of lemmy posts are reposts from reddit.

        There is currently a top voted Lemmy post that says “netflix lost 200k users, crackdown backfired”. It is a repost that was on reddit yesterday.

        Netflix gained 5.9 million users in the same period. Lemmy users are just as woke as redditors.

      The API kerfuffle finally gave us the critical mass ofbusers to make it viable, and it’s only uphill from here
