Really‽ I just checked and many of the small subreddits I used to follow became much less interesting/active if not dead.
Meanwhile, some of the bigger subs became a repost dumping ground of years old posts/images/videos/memes by fairly new accounts (i'm guessing those are bots karma farming).
The fediverse is the much better way IMHO.
In any case, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit have become too toxic to use I will keep away (though, I never had a Facebook nor a Twitter account)
First I want to say hurray at the interrobang I love seeing them in the wild!
Secondly, I recently started doing research about Electric Vehicles and made another account for reddit to ask questions. I...forgot how much of a difference it was between Reddit and Lemmy when it came to discussion. There's so much aggression on Reddit it's crazy.
I joined a few EV groups on Facebook for the first time in years and it was nasty there too, not to mention my feed was full of shit I didn't even ask for.
I think I'm good here.
Interesting. The small subreddits I follow either moved or are just as active. Most are just as active.
I'd like to spend more time here, but Lemmy is still not attracting enough people to support a lot of the small subreddits I follow.
