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.

    It's been bad for me.

    All those hate filled posts everyone talks about? I never saw those on Reddit, because I had a couple dozen technical subs (r/emacs, r/PLC, etc.) that I'd browse and rarely if ever strayed from those. Reddit was big enough that the specialized subreddits generated enough content for my use case.

    Some of those communities exist here, but they're practically empty. So I wind up doom scrolling on All, which is full of tankie garbage and political propaganda.

    I dunno, while I like the idea of Lemmy, I don't think it's likely to ever get the traffic you need for my kind of use. I probably just need to diversify my phone use and visit other sites.
