We gatekeeping liking the Fediverse now?

And you're vastly underestimating Reddit's user base's willingness to simp for porn stars and billionaires.

The /all option is in the sidebar all the way at the bottom, below your subs. I agree it’s inconvenient.

I used to love Sync, but hear me out: Infinity is FOSS and it currently is much nicer and easier to use.

I’m grateful to the creator of Sync for bringing over the app to the Fediverse, and I’ll never begrudge anyone for sticking with it or even paying an outrageous price to not have to see ads even though Lemmy has none to begin with. All I’m saying is, you just switched from Reddit to Lemmy, now’s the perfect time to try something new.

The more I use Lemmy apps (favorite is Infinity), the more I realize what an awful experience the official Reddit app is. It’s so sluggish in a subtle way, it makes me tired to scroll. Plus, there’s tons of clutter, nothing is where it should be (e.g. r/all is at the very bottom of the left slider menu), and the app behaves in weird little ways (e.g. if you unmute a video, all your videos are now unmuted even if they’re autoplaying in the feed).

Biggest offender is the ads. All over the feed and comments, created on purpose to blend in so you don’t immediately realize you’re being advertised to. But other than that, the official Reddit app is enshittification by a thousand little shitty design decisions.

Why wait, tho.

Credible defense, comicbooks, and a bunch of local subs and language subs around the world as I travel around quite a bit. Some of these have a Fediverse presence but it’s not quite there yet. Rooting for them, though!

14 years redditor here.

I kept my account and still (rarely) interact with some niche subs. The bulk of my social activity is here now, and if these niche topics were represented on the Fediverse, I’d gladly move on.

So I guess, to Reddit, I don’t look like I’m truly gone since my account is still active somewhat. But my level of engagement has dramatically fallen.

About as effective a protest as buying a pack of Bud Lites to pour them down the drain. You really showed them!

I can place pixels. I just don’t give a fuck about Reddit any longer.

Using r/place to signal displeasure with u/spez is as dumb as paying for a pack of Bud Lites so you can pour them down the drain.

The best way to protest is not to engage at all.

Fuck /r/place.
