See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
A lot of this is because the prevalent attitude has been ‘it’s the internet, it doesn’t matter’, and that allowed people to do things that we, as a society, decided long ago that people weren’t supposed to do.
I can’t say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won’t return to Reddit.
Same here. It’s already gotten sucky, and it’s only going to get worse.
If you want to know the future of Reddit, look at Facebook.
Same here. Reddit is going downhill real fast.
Reddit has been going downhill for a decade. The problem was that there were no viable alternatives. Now that /u/Spez has pushed the issue, he forced enough people into Lemmy that it is suddenly a viable alternative. I call that a win!
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
I’m quite large, and I’m here
This is the way
Yes, obviously.
Yeah! Fills my reddit void
Yes
Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.
Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy’s popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn’t have found otherwise

I will stay as long as they don't do what Reddit did.
I’m planning on staying here permanently. I’ll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I’ve subscribed to and see if there’s a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I’m not going to engage with Reddit more than that.
Someone told me about https://sub.rehab/, so I just check that every few days to see if my favorites show up there!
That’s pretty neato. As an aside, can you save comments on lemmy?
You can! I use Jeroa on Android, and you can tap the bookmark button to save comments, and I think it’s a similar process on Desktop.
Ooohhh I’m gonna start using that from now on!
Yes
Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list… I think I’m there.
Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that’s more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.
I’m on every website known to mankind, a world record I wish to keep, so yes.
I’m a filthy casual, and I think I’ll be staying. I might try out Kbin when they get a mobile app, because I’d like to be able to follow mastodon and the fediverse versions of reddit from the same app. But I love it here so far. There are a few subs I really miss (witches vs the patriarchy, some science subs, and a whole bunch of academic and religious subs), but I’m fairly confident that most of those will make their way here eventually. If not en mass, then a trickle of like minded folks.
I've been around Lemmy for under a week so far. This feels enough like Reddit (more than Kbin) and…seems(?) to have more activity than Kbin so I deleted my account there and decided to stay here. I've already created a bit of content here to grow this place! ❤
I hope I'll see more communities arrive here what are not yet here but in Reddit 👀
Yee
I’m perusing reddit occasionally, I dunno, out of habit, but also curiosity as to how this all plays out. But the magic is gone there, and wow, growing here very quickly. I’m here to stay, on lemmy.world or wherever in the fediverse. I’m on a mastodon instance but it’s kinda sleepy, but hanging in there.
I used BBSs in the early 80s, even dialed into Ward & Randy’s BBS in Chicago with an acoustic coupler modem… 300 bits/sec. Fedi stuff is more akin to that than the overly-managed corporate shit.
“Federation” instantly made sense to me. I feel sorry for (lol) younger people who’ve only known corporate, centralized, soc media stuff.
I suspect things are gonna get messy; communities are, or will be, hard to find, scattered, the activityPub relationships can be very complex, you can’t really tell who sees yout posts, or what’s included in a thread… the code isn’t there. But it will get there.
Fuck corporate seamlessness. I’ll take the anarchic chaos of user written code and organic change. The idea that we can, or even that we “should”, be able to “see everything” is a dumb 20th century idea. The world is a huge and complicated place, us dumb little organisms can’t even understand everthing that goes on in our physically local neighborhood. How could we? What a delusion.
There’s always more to seek and see. It’s fkn great.
