I still use reddit for some niche topics that have like zero activity on Lemmy. But still, I feel kinda bad over it… What about you people?

I don’t feel bad, but having moved a few days ago I’ll share my experience.
I try and come here first, will check the one or two things I’ve posted engaged with, scroll a bit - but realise I haven’t quite joined enough communities for there to be novel information each time I check in.
I then default to Reddit, and quickly go into my default auto-scroll passive lurk mode. I see something new - like the most recent Anonymous hack on twitter, and then come back to see if I can find it on Lemmy!
One key difference is I rarely posted on Reddit, but have felt very comfortable posting here. Not sure why!
Just posting some lesser known but great communities for you to subscribe to in case you are interested!

It so far ( in my very limited experience ) feels like users on Lemmy are more likely to have an actual conversation than immediately slip into the cycle of memes, in-jokes, and other drivel that usually ends up as the top several threads on reddit posts of popular sub-reddits.
It’s kinda nice.
I really hope it stays that way. Large subreddit have been bad for a long time with jokes and memes as comments.
I hope the same. It’s been quite refreshing.
It is nice! Showing my age but reminds me more like forums and chatrooms.
