I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
Second this. Though if Lemmy gets really popular, same thing will happen.
Maybe, but maybe not. My prediction is that there will be extremely popular communities that will be basically like the biggest subreddits, but you will also be able to have a nice relaxed conversation in your home instance’s smaller comms. So you’ll get the best of both worlds!
Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.
