Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?
Like a lot of others here, I still add “reddit” to my searches when doing research on products or troubleshooting.
100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.
Me too, except I’m 100% off Google too 😆
Pretty much everything remotely niche. Subs devoted to individual video games, for instance. The only game I play that’s on lemmy is https://lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon.
the day Apollo stopped working I deleted the account and quit cold turkey; now only if I find something there while researching a problem I read a thread anonymously and that’s it
We have porn here too.
Mostly weird cartoon porn.
OlafOglaf is pretty good though. 😄Can you drop some links 🧾
Oops, sorry. That’s “Oglaf” with a “g”, my mistake.
Most of which actually comes from Reddit.
Nowhere near enough though. Especially if you cut out the straight from reddit imports.
Remarkably specific porn
It’s all reposted stuff from elsewhere.
and AI slop?
Porn.
Though they got rid of my favorite category so I’ve been using it less.
I still use reddit for a few niche communities and browsing comments. I post alot and love my time here but the activity isnt enough to replace it for me yet
TV, Movie, Anime, Video Game, Discussion Threads.
It’s non-existent on Lemmy.
I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.
I have it blocked (just the communities, not the users) so I can’t really say but isnt ani.social pretty popular? I see tons of users, I figured there’d be posts too

We’re at 306 MAU.
EDIT2: I don’t know for sure whether lurkers are counted as active users, mind.
Nope, voting counts too, so a lot of lurkers are included.
Ahh ok, bummer then. When they first opened I was getting flooded with anime so I blocked it and assumed it continued to flourish
Google search clicks. Forwarded posts from Reddit.
self abuse
As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.
For example discussions about specific games or series because Lemmy just doesn’t have any of that. It seems to be only interested in Linux, politics and general news.
I created a lurker account for Reddit after I deleted my main, so I can visit all subreddits. But I don’t subscribe to anything and don’t really hang out there a lot.
Sometimes I will have really obscure tech issues that only 10yr reddit threads can solve. That’s about it though
Yup. The backlog reddit has is currently kinda unbeatable. Although as reddit is increasingly swamped with AI, that’ll become less and less valuable
I mean people much rather ask chatgpt same question 5 times instead of checking reddit now.
I need a steady drip feed of bonehurtingjuice that Lemmy has not been able to sufficiently provide
I no longer use my reddit accounts. But still do some tech searches with “reddit” at the end.
