STOP GOING TO REDDIT!!!!
I can't believe how often I have to say this.
There are a few communities on Reddit that aren’t represented on here. So I still go to Reddit some.
There might be very niche communities but Lemmy has grown so much in the last year. I would encourage you to search for whatever community you are looking for. You might not find the exact equivalent but you might find a good match.
For example, there may be a /r/3dprinteddildos on reddit but that won't exist here. But I am sure that the 3D community here can point you in the right direction.
Keep in mind how subreddit often got created: when the general community doesn't provide enough content for your niche, the niche community is developed.
/r/gonewild is a great example of this. It went from amateur porn to a cestpool of only fans content. Other subreddits were created to continue the way.
It's the same thing here: find a community that's close and post.
Lemmy is nowhere near the wealth of information available on Reddit. And if we're talking about hobbies, then literally no one gives a shit about Lemmy. The whole of the Fediverse has only 50k daily active users, most of them are on Mastodon. Lemmy is just a tiny fraction of those 50k. The main 3D printing sub alone has more active users than the whole Lemmy.
That leads to a situation where knowledgeable people from the industry and hobby leaders don't post anything here. I'm not even sure many of them even heard of it.
So, if you want some help or to learn something, you either go to specialised forums or to Reddit. Lemmy is for memes and throwing feces at each other. Which is fun.
There is nothing coming close to /r/steroids on Lemmy. The reason that subreddit is so great is that the moderators there are very quick at deleting noob questions that are answered in the wiki, and will quickly call out anyone giving dangerous advice.
Even on reddit the competing subreddits like /r/PEDs and /r/testosterone are absolute garbage that probably got dozens of people killed from a heart attack or stroke at this point
I’m trying to convince people to check out Lemmy but it’s hard. People are so stuck in their ways. I’ll keep trying though
People are still on X even after their owner gave a Nazi salute on national television.
It blows my mind everyday
I've stopped casually browsing Reddit but sometimes it's the only way to get somewhat decent search results
I’m weaning myself off it. Sadly there’s some communities that I’m active in on Reddit that either don’t exist on a federated platform or are so tiny that they’re functionally dead. Hopefully we can grow those communities though - if we want to preserve the internet and our democracies into the future, the cancer that is big tech needs viable alternatives.
It's an addiction, it's hard to break.
It is.. i have lots of shows i watch with communities im an engaged with.. and thats not really here yet.. but bluesky has helped me get off reddit more.. i actually like the platform and lemmy
It is. What helped me was deleting my account and removing my patched boost app. Now I only browse it through mobile Firefox with ublock.
It's annoying as shit to use, so I don't use it often. But when I do they get nothing from me. Win-win.
The sad part is I still have a lot of random subs I enjoy, fringe stuff like r/OnionLovers and r/slowcooking, r/frugal.. and subs like r/frugal immediately delete any comment that brings up politics in any way, so there are a few decent subs left with non-batshit insane mods but they are becoming exceedingly rare.
Lemmy is not grown yet,so yeah i'm forced to use reddit.
