Most of the niche subs don’t have equivalents here.

Their app is such a pain though. Nofap challenge imposed by reddit. I am on day 30 already.
I went from 100+ subs down to just 9, but some communities simply don’t exist in lemmy.
If you moderated a sub before the API ban and used the Boost app, then Boost still works for you. Thank god for my tiny sub.
I just don’t use Reddit at all anymore.
Same. I don’t miss it. I’m really enjoying Lemmy and the fediverse!
/c/Risa is all I need.
Still, when I’m looking for a solution for a specific problem, reddit is basically the only reliable source at the moment.
Wish there was a quick way to search for posts across all instances using search engines.
Reddit has years of community data. Lemmy will get there one day as long as we keep at it.
Yeah. What Reddit has is the advantage of getting there first. We can catch up.
I don’t actively use it either, but sometimes you’re trying to fix some esoteric error that no one has experienced since the existence of the Western Roman Empire and the only place where a solution exists is Reddit. In those cases I kinda have to visit that wretched hive.
Same. However, I have rarely been able to solve a technical problem with Reddit posts or comments. It’s a better source for random experiences about something.
For random technical problems with new software or hardware, Reddit quality is not as good as it used to be, IMHO.
For somewhat niche hobbies, like my mushroom growing, subjective experiences may be helpful to take into account. Reading dozens of different opinions about a problem in a hobby that has hundreds of different variables has its uses. (For example, if you want to test something specific, you can get an idea about the range of conditions to test.)
LPT: Don’t use reddit because it’s a fucking dumpster fire.
You think we’re any better?? I think the whole internet is a dumpster fire, and that’s the way it should be.
Yes: Dumpster fire or not, Lemmy is definitely better than reddit. No question.
It’s more of a recycling bin fire
I used to work in the waste sector - been to a lot of dumps. Let me tell ya, public sector dumps were literal dumpster fires compared to their private counter parts. Inefficient. Years behind in technology. Weighted down by nepotism and typical government employees.
It was such a relief when I knew I was assigned to a private sector dump where things just fucking worked because people just let it work.
A big part of getting you to use their app is to data mine EVERYTHING about you. Unlike a web browser with an ad-blocker, an app can collect your location, location history, your call logs, your contact list and serve up unlockable ads.

google ads can easily be dns blocked, about reddit ads… yeah.
there’s a reason why I’ve been using an unofficial client.
there’s a typo in your meme, op. The URL is supposed to look something like that
https://lemmy.ml/...The day they kill old reddit will be the end of reddit for me.

Lol you went back for the porn
Changes to reddit are what brought me here. Once old.reddit.com disappears I will be completely done with it.
