Hey folks, Over the next few weeks, we’ll be removing a few old low-usage features from old.reddit.com. These features may be familiar, so we...

Interesting side-note, reddit’s anti-VPN policies and blocking some archivers like ghostarchive.

    I have so many posts to share, questions to ask, and things to do…but Lemmy is not as robust with users. And I refuse to participate on reddit. I need an /c/ xbox360hacks.

      I got answers and engagement from communities that seemed dead on Lemmy due to lack of users. You should just try to ask your questions… One answer that truly helps is already enough usually, you don’t actually need 100 users upvoting the same answer or 12 different answers where only 1 is good. For many things, low engagement is already sufficient.

        Yeah, I browse All on Lemmy which I never would do on Reddit, and engage with whatever posts I connect with. I wonder if there are others who do the same.

        Posting to new or “inactive” communities I think is less of a shout into the abyss on Lemmy compared with Reddit.

      Every tv show I watch I have to go to Reddit to view the conversation. And bite my tongue cause I refuse to log in and give content.

      Same with watching the political debates. That was my preferred method of conversation.

        Which shows are you in? We had some episodes discussion on !showsandmovies@lemm.ee, but they never really took off. If you are interested in a show, you can maybe try posting there and see if other people want to discuss it with you?

        Same here with various niche things. Reddit had a much higher percentage of jerks, though, so I’m overall better off not participating there.
