I’ve been on lemmy for over a year now, and I just realized I used to read all those HackerNews articles + their comments, I haven’t done that in probably 6 months because the discussion here has gotten much better. What’s changed for you with Lemmy over the last year?

It's become clear that Lemmy is not about to take off. For most users, it's probably a fine Reddit clone, but it's not about to replace the big R.

I'm sure that will change in 2025. 🧌

I suppliment Lemmy with Imgur. That said, Imgur also forces you to use their offical app, and it also sells your data to 3rd parties, like most apps. But it's not nearly as shit as the offical reddit app, and you can always block the trackers with the DuckDuckGo app.

I still don't have a replacement for niche subreddits, though. So I only visit them on the desktop now to minimize that time on the site, and so I can use old.reddit.com.

I dream of the day when I can finally ditch both for good and just use Lemmy.

Can't you just look at imgur through your browser? I just went there and it looks functional to me.

Perhaps you are referring to the mobile web version? Just another step in enshitification to drive you to the app. Don't give in, use imgur only on your PC. Heck em
