Lemmy. Federation and the lack of a profit motive makes it much better.
I would also rather be surrounded by leftist vs liberal drama, rather than liberal vs fascist drama.
If you have the bandwidth, please try to bring the sub to lemmy. We're lacking a lot of niche interest communities here.
Lemmy seems a lot less toxic than Reddit. Every now and then I see comments here of people that are assholes, but its not the norm. Whenever I would check the comment feeds in Reddit, so many of them devolve into petty bickering. It seemed like a quarter of the user base set out that day to either be pissed off, or to piss someone else off.
It depends where you go - e.g. the entire purpose of chapotraphouse is to dunk on people, and the users on that instance constantly crawl out from under their bridge and harass innocent passer-bys in other communities. But if you block a few notable places, which sometimes your instance does for you (I note that yours in particular does not though), then overall the Fediverse can be quite a pleasant place!:-)
Just commenting to say that I appreciate the technical expertise that many of the users of your instance have! If anybody is seeing this and scared of chapotraphouse you really shouldn't be. It's a nice place with nice people
My comrades on Lemmy, though sometimes insular, are some of the friendliest, most supportive people I've ever known online.
Lemmy.
I do prefer the size of Reddit, but I am continuing the API changes protest. Sup, that's it. If they reverse it, I might return, although the UI has changed again. Wouldn't mean I'd leave Lemmy, just use both.
I haven't actually used it with 3rd party apps, I used to do the same as I am doing right now, desktop website on my phone, but I do support the protests and I am not giving up after 2 days.I haven't used reddit since the announcement of the API changes
Lemmy, and I'm never going back. I just wish we had the abundance of content that Reddit does. There's a lot of communities I miss.
Reddit continuously grew more toxic with astroturfers, bots, and other bad-faith actors after the protest. I deleted all of my accounts the day they went public since that was the previously planned line-in-the-sand for me. I only visit periodically every few days to check my local towns subreddit for news. It would be nice to have a bigger community with Lemmy but I certainly don't miss the constant arguments.
Consider that I’m free to use either of these, and that we are having this conversation here, on Lemmy.
Nevertheless, the thread has been interesting.
Reddit was realy god in my local areal, so thats what immissinhg. Lemmy,isnt just there yet. Not many from my area. So yir i like Lemmy for the lack of adds, and for notsellinhg my data
