Sometimes I will have really obscure tech issues that only 10yr reddit threads can solve. That’s about it though

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 throway 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.

I don’t.

Game subs.

I read the comments, since lemmy doesn’t have many

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just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.

100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.

Whenever it comes up in a web search and I absolutely need it for whatever information I’m looking for, mainly troubleshooting stuff

I don’t.

Sometimes it’s in the top few search results. Otherwise I don’t .

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

I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.

You can’t have a healthy discussion there anymore.

Google search clicks. Forwarded posts from Reddit.

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.
