Any people here that left reddit collapse?

You mean, left reddit when shit hit the fan?

I'm one of them. It's going great here. Was just pointed to a new community for Lemmy addons that looks super helpful: !plugins@sh.itjust.works

I'm never going back. There's good interactions and engagement, and the content is growing every day.

This plugin community is so cool, thanks for sharing!
And now there's infinity for Lemmy so it feels right as well

There’s less content on lemmy, but I’m sticking around because I can still get articles and discussions and I don’t have to be staring at my phone or computer all the time anyway. We all make up these communities online and some asshole treating it as his personal property isn’t something we should have to suffer. I’ll take less content if it spares me the indignity of letting guys like that win.

I finally bailed on Reddit too. There's no reason to be on a centralized, for profit platform while we ride out the end of civilization. I wish each and every one of you the best possible conclusion to this wild human experience.

Used to (mostly) lurk on Reddit, now I lurk here.

I am here as a Reddit refugee. I've noticed a lot of the communities here that interest me haven't hit any sort of critical mass for participation sadly...but I check in most days anyway.

I started pulling away from Reddit when they banned chapo

When the API changes came I saw there were alternatives taking off, so I finished jumping ship

Of course. Maybe I've been happier not reading the worst of people.

That makes two of us.
- Yay

https://mlmym.org/feddit.uk/ i'll never go back to reddit, i always used old.reddit and here is a skin that makes lemmy look just the same!

Me. I'm finding that the content here is better at the moment. It was a bit of a challenge at first, and I kept going back to reddit. Last week I decided to delete the reddit app (not my account) for one week to force more engagement with Lemmy and I'm happy so far. I'm missing some of the bigger subs, like the NBA sub and more subs local to my home city, but overall I'm happy. I'm going to probably have to install reddit again for those subs I mentioned, but think I'll be defaulting to Lemmy for general use

I stopped modding /r/collapse years ago since I disagreed where the community was going and it wasn't worth it to fight out. I hope we can achieve better quality here long-term though unfortunately I haven't got a lot of spare time to participate.
- Where was the community going and why is it better here?

I stayed on Redfit as long as Joey kept working. Once it didn't anymore I came here.

Yep! Hoping the chatter will increase here!

We only need a relatively small number of steady quality contributors to make it work. Adding more members will just degrade the signal/noise ratio.

This is my test post

You passed the test. :) Welcome to Lemmy.

Been here for almost two months now, and this is home. That other place, I visit only to follow a few old friends who aren't here yet.

Lemmy has lower volume, but noticeably higher quality comments, not counting this one.

I've left /r/collapse a long time ago and reduced Reddit engagement years back. Gone completely since the API changes.

Let's see what we can build in Lemmyland together.

I'm here and I've sworn off Reddit. Sometimes I end up there via Google search though. It's amassed a huge amount of knowledge and it's...unfortunate that so many Google searches yield Reddit results, and those results are occasionally unique.

I only intentionally use Lemmy, and I definitely am giving up a lot for principal. I find it disheartening that the weekly observation threads are old and outdated that are pinned here, and I want weekly threads for current observations.

I want this community more active but also more maintained.

Came here after waiting a few weeks to see what would remain of Reddit in the fallout. Idk what the last straw was but I like it much better over here.

Oh, also Memmy is great and reminds me of Apollo.
