Everyone here is on copium, not gonna lie.
Reddit isn’t going to die. Honestly it has 1000x more content than lemmy.
Lemmy has a place and so does reddit.
I still browse reddit, simply because the size of the communities I want to visit is much larger there. My browsing is however confined to the mobile page in Firefox, which is slow, clunky, and breaks frequently, which means my reddit usage is down by something like 99%. Lemmy has the sync app, and without the app I wouldn’t be here. Browsing Lemmy before it was awful.
Also, I kinda like that Lemmy is smaller. There’s much less noise, less of an algorithm feel to browsing. It feels slightly more like the internet I grew up with in the 90s and 00s, and I kinda missed that.
The throwback feel really is an intangible value add that means it might not catch on for younger folks but damn it does feel good.
honestly I think the opposite. from what a younger sibling has told me, old is new and the current trends in TikTok and stuff seem to be younger people wanting physical media, non flat design back, the old internet and etc. gives me hope at least.
I go back for sports communities because they’re still active enough on reddit for back and forth during live games, but literally yesterday on the hockey sub people were talking about how there’s less content. API changes meant less autoposted game highlights and it even seems there’s less back and forth on the game day threads. Now it depends a lot on the team these days.
So steal the content and post it here. At least the good stuff.
There aren’t any laws preventing you from doing that.
It’s kinda how these sites function at all nowadays lol. Wasn’t reddit text posts only a long time ago?
Send us the text posts to replace all the people posting fuckin YouTube videos instead of articles here!

TIL not supporting businesses you don’t agree with = being on copium.
Guess I better go buy Nestle products again.
No I think that’s fine, it’s just I see people thinking that reddit is literally dying, which is just not the case.
Everyone? Those people who say these companies are sinking ship are probably so addicted to them they have to mention it anytime anything vaguely relates to it. Normal people use both and don’t give a shit where their meme comes from.
