Lemmy lacks on users and content that’s a fact. But you get no engagement at all from Reddit.
I can post a comment there and see another 800 people posting comments. You rarely get replies from anyone. I don’t care about likes and awards. But it’s nice to see someone agreeing or disagreeing with you.
That’s actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc.
Honestly, I don’t think users would migrate from Reddit to lemmy if they shut down old.reddit.
At this point, and after all that happened, users would switch to the new Reddit and continue using it.
Reddit has a massive amount of users and content there is generated at a huge amount. A lot of users would continue using Reddit even if they aren’t happy with the interface, just for the content really.
I actually used Google to search on Reddit. Reddit search sucks.
Shit move from Spez. But let’s be honest, the issue is that he might be able to paywall some subreddits that are niche and provide support on certain subjects that usually can’t be found anywhere.
