Personally, I like the Lemmy community better. It’s definitely possible to find great stuff on reddit (and in particular for news, I think reddit is superior to what I’ve been finding on Lemmy), but the overall ratio of content : crap is much, much higher here.
Now that I’ve broken the seal, I honestly am not sure what people are going back to so eagerly on reddit. Maybe just the dopamine of lots and lots of stories and comments to interact with, or maybe they’re part of something I don’t interact with there.
There are a lot of subreddits for specific tv shows or games. Ngl that’s the biggest temptation for me. There are shows that I’m obsessed with that no one else in my life has the same love for, and Reddit is the only place I can talk to anyone about them. Sad to let that go.
Yah, I get that. You could start a community here and wait for it to form up and interact, and do reddit in the meantime (or forever if the community stays on reddit forever)… I actually don’t agree that “we” have to “win” by “punishing” reddit for their bad behavior towards the mods and app developers. It just comes down to what platform you want to be on to interact I think.
