We recently compiled a list of the 10 Firms Suffer Steep Downfall on Monday. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Reddit, Inc. (NYSE:RDDT) stands against the other stocks. Ten companies kicked off Monday’s trading in a bloodbath, mirroring the broader market pessimism, with valuations slashed by double digits mostly due […]
You’re most certainly part of the problem. You’re like someone who complains about local restaurants closing, but keeps buying drive through. Reddit isn’t better, it’s merely easier, but it’s also a terrible value and bad for your health.
There is nothing positive that Reddit is capable of, that Lemmy is not. It all comes down to shifting the audience. Lemmy keeps improving, while Reddit keeps getting worse. All Reddit has is inertia, the energy of which came from a distant, nearly forgotten push. Put some time and effort in, help build something rather than merely consume it.
Fark/slashdot -> digg/reddit -> fediverse
The inertia will wear out eventually.
Don’t forget stumbleupon.
Reddit for the most part has FAR more active niche communities. If you’re mostly looking for Lemmy versions of subs that frequently hit /all you’re probably fine; but I also looked for subs like aquaponics and ROG Ally and found pretty much crickets on Lemmy.
For now, I’m on both, because some of what I want from Lemmy doesn’t exist here yet. But I’m participating where I can in to try and help populate it so it eventually becomes viable for niches as well
I suppose what I’m trying to say is the less we rely on reddit, the faster those niche communities grow in the fediverse. The cost for splitting your energies is that it slows the growth of one and prolongs the antiquation of the other.
I guess I’m saying for now it makes sense that people would at least cross post
Folks gotta post here at some point to get the ball rolling but like, I found an aquaponics sub and posted there to literally zero response. I legitimately cannot use that instead of Reddit yet; there’s nothing to use. I posted anyway to try, just don’t shame me when I cross post the question back to Reddit due to silence here, yknow?
Here I am “supporting the local restaurant” but already am sitting at -20 points in an hour for stating my experiences.
On reddit there are more posts I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and more opinions and people to talk with. There aren’t dozens or hundreds of people here discussing very niche hobbies, places, or events on an hourly or daily basis like there are on reddit. I buy the hamburger at the local restaurant when I can, but when I need a graphics card delivered next day, my mom-and-pop local computer store that sells to senior citizens has never even heard of a 5090.
Stop giving a shit about fake internet points, they literally mean nothing.
“Its dead in here” says person who never contributes anything except to complain how dead it is.
I will say that joining an instance that does not federate downvotes confers some very real mental health benefits.
All I see are your 15 upvotes, friend. Don’t be discouraged from sharing your experiences.
