I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I got my uBlock Origin ready to kill all the ads. That shitty website will not get a cent out of me.

What about you? Do you still use reddit?

    The Lemmy apps are fine, but I’ve been disappointed in the quality of Lemmy posts and discussion. It’s too many memes, not enough good quality thoughts, discussion, content, community. It’s unfortunate. Wanted this to be the place I die.

      I totally agree, it is getting better though. I’m trying to keep in mind that it’s only been a couple weeks. new communities take time to grow. i think a big issue with lemmy is there’s so many options so there’s competition between communities for content but there just aren’t enough users to go around. it’ll get there though. one thing i do like though is that i’ve been getting more quality engagement on posts and comments i make. i’m not feeling attacked by replies or seeing pointless comments like “this!”, ya know?

      Agreed. And not just memes but quite shitty ones especially recently. Filling the front page with beans is worse than not posting at all

      What I did was unsubscribe from the meme communities. When I want a laugh I’ll go on “Global” and see them. Switch to subscribed to see better discussion.

      I had a similar experience and just started blocking all the meme instances. Much better so far!
