I’m ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I’m just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

    10+ years on Reddit and I could not stand what the API changes were going to do, on top of totally hating the experience without an app.

    None of my friends were even on Reddit so no problem with them not being on Lemmy ಠ_ಠ

    Lemmy feels alot like Reddit in 2012 so I’m hopeful.

      On one custom app I used, I think they made it so you can hide a comment completely from view but I also think regular Reddit hasn’t gotten better at that as well.
