Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?
and AI slop?
We have porn here too.
Most of which actually comes from Reddit.
Nowhere near enough though. Especially if you cut out the straight from reddit imports.
Mostly weird cartoon porn.
OlafOglaf is pretty good though. 😄Can you drop some links 🧾
Oops, sorry. That’s “Oglaf” with a “g”, my mistake.
Remarkably specific porn
It’s all reposted stuff from elsewhere.
100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.
Me too, except I’m 100% off Google too 😆
I read the comments, since lemmy doesn’t have many
Game subs.
As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.
I still use reddit for a few niche communities and browsing comments. I post alot and love my time here but the activity isnt enough to replace it for me yet
TV, Movie, Anime, Video Game, Discussion Threads.
It’s non-existent on Lemmy.
I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.
I have it blocked (just the communities, not the users) so I can’t really say but isnt ani.social pretty popular? I see tons of users, I figured there’d be posts too

14,934 monthly active users on lemmy.world.
EDIT: For good measure, over here at lemmy.today:
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/lemmy.today
We’re at 306 MAU.
EDIT2: I don’t know for sure whether lurkers are counted as active users, mind.
I’m pretty sure MAU only includes those who post.
Nope, voting counts too, so a lot of lurkers are included.
Sometimes I will have really obscure tech issues that only 10yr reddit threads can solve. That’s about it though
Yup. The backlog reddit has is currently kinda unbeatable. Although as reddit is increasingly swamped with AI, that’ll become less and less valuable
Like a lot of others here, I still add “reddit” to my searches when doing research on products or troubleshooting.
On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
Note that while that’s probably true, if you’re interested and not aware, we do have [email protected] here.
Whenever it comes up in a web search and I absolutely need it for whatever information I’m looking for, mainly troubleshooting stuff
yeah, sadly there’s a lot of niche technical problems that have only ever been answered as reddit posts. about the only time I go there either.
Google search clicks. Forwarded posts from Reddit.
I have a new Reddit account, running on Brave on a VM at work. I use it as a news and pop culture aggregate. I used to post in the big UK sites for well over a decade, but recently got a site wide permanent ban for ban evasion (I hadn’t realised that throwaway accounts were no longer allowed).
My new account has insufficient karma to post (another petty rule), but having been on Lemmy for a few months Reddit now seems cold, hostile and impersonal in comparison.

This drives me up the wall, especially when they don’t even tell you how much you need. I get why they do it, but it just promotes shit-posting in other subreddits for the sole purpose of being able to post in another subreddit.
To participate in smaller local/regional communities, because they don’t exist or are basically dead on Lemmy. On reddit, almost every city has it’s own community, while on Lemmy some countries don’t even have communities or just a few people there looking more like a private group chat.
It could be party due to the decentralized nature, every community perhaps has it’s own server, but unless I am able to find it…
Nothing. I don’t use it anymore.
