In hindsight, I’m really glad reddit did this. They single handedly gave their competitor (Lemmy) critical mass to be a true alternative. Without enough users, it’s just not the same.
This is/was the way. I mean, not that people are not welcome here now but still supporting reddit that long is like supporting Elon after he went mad or Trump after the first time around…
I never paid for any of their products but now that I’m banned I see how much the profit off of everyone’s knowledge. It’s really such a scam. Convince everyone to contribute tons of useful information that when the rest of the Internet does searches it leads directly to Reddit where they get ad revenue for every click. Pretty unscrupulous if you ask me.
I used the reddit app many many moons ago, but then discovered Boost. Once it quit working flawlessly, Lemmy became home. And Boost for Lemmy is wonderful :)
Same here! My app stopped working (rip rif… You will be missed…!), I thought I give the official reddit app a try, it wouldn’t let me log in no matter what I tried and then I heard of lemmy via feddit. Only went back once to delete all my data and to close my account.
…No? I’m pretty sure that was the first massive wave of relatively diverse active users. Lemmy was pretty fringe before that happened. I think there are tens of thousands of us.
Left reddit during the api/apps fiasco.

Me too
There are DOZENS of us!
Same. Reddit without Relay isn’t worth it

That’s a LOT of dozens!
Yep. Also left digg during their ad push fiasco to go to reddit.
