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.
Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.
I wonder if that’s the case. You can have an instance of “Technology” at each different Lemmy instance, and all the tech instances won’t be the same. If someone feels like they’re being drowned out they can start another subject instance locally on the lemmy instance they are on. This is good because In over a week I haven’t been able to get any of the instances on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world to complete a subscription. This community has been in “Subscribe pending” for over a week.
