At least that’s my calculation right now

    I’m not sure about raw numbers but Lemmy feels like home now and Reddit’s content is significantly worse so it’s still a win for me

      I didn’t look back after moving here. The only thing where Reddit still excels is its old content that you bump into when searching stuff on Google and the presence of official corporate accounts/ subreddits.

        I did look back, and already don’t want to spend another minute there.
        Honestly, this smaller community is much nicer, this feels like early reddit again.
        I’d hate for all of current reddit to migrate here and I don’t think it will happen.

          Life definitely feels simpler here and nice, like I moved from a huge and toxic metropolis to a wonderful small town, but I would still like this town to grow into a city.

        I went back by accident by following a search result, and was still logged in. Had a notification. It was a reply to a comment I’d made about a month prior, asking a question. In the comment I even attempted to clarify that it was a genuine question with no judgement attached, and I got a couple answers at the time.

        Anyway, found myself back on Reddit with this belated comment reply. The person went on a whole rant related to my question, didn’t answer it of course, but just went off on one accusing me of nefarious motives.

        It’s weird to think back on how stressful it was to interact over there for fear of being misinterpreted and drawing out the crazies. If something like that happens here I just block them and go on with my day safe in the knowledge that the nice folks have them massively outnumbered. And hence my nearly 2000 comments here over two accounts in the space of about six weeks…oh my.

          Man I remember the same thing. I mentioned that my cats deworming pills are relatively expensive (as in expensive for a simple mass produced pill) and some person went on a rant how there are so many animals that are disregarded by their owners and what not. It’s strange.

          I didn’t mention that I’m not buying them for her or that I’m avoiding other expenses.

        speaking of searching stuff, how does lemmy work in that space?

        Like would I ever find this comment if I search it on Google?

      It definitely does yea. I haven’t been on plebbit outside of a random search result for something I could not find otherwise.

      For me reddit content was pretty shitty for the last couple of tears. Like 10 years ago I could scroll the front page and find everything pretty funny/interesting and that made me want to discuss the topics with the people there. In the last years, the front page become pretty dull to me, I was just going to reddit only to specific subs.

      Lemmy feels now to what reddit felt 10 years ago.
