Question to the ones that fully left Reddit
Question to the ones that fully left Reddit
How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?
I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.
Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.
Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!
The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.
EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!
EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

I only use Reddit for two things these days. Practicing my technical writing skills by offering answers to ELI5 posts, and silently doomscrolling though US politics.
Both of these are theoretically on Lemmy somewhere, but this place really doesn't move fast enough to be fulfilling.
That said, I only access Reddit on desktop PC in old.reddit mode. The third party appocalypse did not make me leave completely, but it did kill off all of my time using it on mobile, at least. The day they take old.reddit from me and force me to use that miserable card view, though, I'm checking out for good.
When that inevitable day arrives, I will not have FOMO over it. Anything positive I'd hypothetically be missing out on would be canceled out by the abysmal way in which they expect me to consume it. I will miss what it was, though. Lemmy just isn't a substitute for it. The Lemmy experience right now is the Miracle Whip to Reddit's mayo.
Miracle Whips better.
