n7gifmdnWhat do you still use reddit for?

Wrestling Fan@Fiivemacs @zjti8eit oh, that's what you meant haha
From recent experience it feels like Reddit is stricter with bans and access than FB, and applies more tracking and detection tech, lest your previously anonymous internet persona upset a mod.

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

EDIT2: I don’t know for sure whether lurkers are counted as active users, mind.
Nope, voting counts too.

Vandals_handleI use reddit as a comparison when explaining lemmy and the fediverse to the uninitiated.
@n7gifmdn @Vandals_handle "it's like if reddit worked like email"

Occasional Threadiverse advocations
On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
Note that while that’s probably true, if you’re interested and not aware, we do have [email protected] here.

DaveIf the answer to my question is in a Reddit post, I’m going to look at it but I’m not logging in and posting.
I return for both the LEGO deals and leaks subreddits. I’ve been using lurkit.vercel.app as my viewer since I closed my reddit account.
ordnance_qf_17_pounderOccasionally looking through my country’s subreddit. But even then I don’t have an account and access it through RedReader.
Any sort of in-depth discussion about games (War Thunder, Dota, CS, and a few others), talk about TV and books (although my tastes are admittedly more niche there), some more general lifestyle communities, and local communities. Basically, everything but news and politics.
I still use Reddit for niche topics and for polarizing topics. Lemmy feels like groupthink to me, especially about politics. It’s always “Ukraine good, Russia bad” and “Palestine good, Israel bad.” I like hearing both sides, but divergent opinions get smothered there.
When someone disagrees with you, you have the opportunity to more clearly define what you think. This might mean changing your mind to a greater or lesser degree; it could mean understanding more completely why you hold the view you already have. If the votes show that a lot of people disagree with you, well, conventional wisdom is often enough not very wise.
In my experience, fediverse people have been more reasonable than reddit people - but you're going to find petulant children on any public forum.

Enlightened centrism 101 folks. Reduce both sides until they have zero nuance so that you can ignore the substance of any given consensus.
I don’t see a slow drip of Christian right, just allowing themselves to be converted to this freewheeling mass known as the fediverse, one by one. They’d hop their own pirate barge on an instance, lobbing bible verses at us en masse.
I suspect we’re all looking forward to it too because it’s what the fediverse promised us. We get to be whatever we want to be, and god dammit we can float our own barges if we’re weird enough.
If my large, angry (hypothetical) neighbour decides I'm an a-hole - and, let's say I am - it still doesn't give him the right to come into my house and beat me bloody. Nor does it give him the right to change the fences around the yards or remodel my house for me.
I’ve been a Christian for over 30 years, and I’ve never felt this at all. What are you seeing that I’m not?
Atheism 1.45K users / month, Religion 9 users / month
What would you even talk about on the religion community? Like of course it has no users it’s a pointless community. If not even dedicated to a religion but the concept of religion in general? That sounds so pointless.
“Hey Hindus don’t you love having religion? We sure do Jews. What about y’all Buddhists? Oh we love it. How’s it hanging Christians aren’t we glad we’re all here together?”
Lol.
They downvoted him for telling the truth.
Lemmy is an echo chamber.

SoftestSapphicI use lemmy, blusky, and tumblr
@n7gifmdn @SoftestSapphic sounds like you should just use Friendica than you'd have all these. (as long as your instance has BlueSky and Tumblr plug-ins installed). You'd still need an account that exists on those two sites, but you wouldn't have to actually log into a separate webpage/app anymore.
