For me this is the closest reddit alternative i know of. Sure lemmy isint as big as reddit and reddit has far more tech issues, But im new here so i cant really say much.
Do you prefer lemmy or reddit? are there any other social media i should try? please briefly explain your thoughts and ideals.
Lemmy by a light year. I was mostly a lurker without account on reddit but browsed it (too) many years. When I made an account only once a comment I made gained engagement, and it turned into a cesspool so disgusting devolving into religious arguments and such, fortunately I didn’t noticed until days later. The comment I made was about how you should spay your pets.
So yeah after that I closed my account, then left after the api debacle. (And started lurking here) but recently created a lemmy account so I could filter the political content out, and I contribute to a project I believe in.
I also like that I feel that I’m actually talking to real people here, and there’s no algorithm, no tracking, no corpo influence.
