If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 never had a account - I had 2 uses for reddit - 1 was memes (and a few other communities (commandline and localllama)) - this I did with rss feeds. And searching for things with reddit added, to get opinions by humans.

commandline and localllama still stay as rss feeds, but for memes, I just use my local lemmy feedd. Can't replace searching, though I try to not use search engine's at all these days (can't eliminate them, but using them for the cases where I have not yet found a particular source to direct my searches) but for the reddit results, I use redlib frontend.

I don't feel bad - because there is definitely good stuff there that was posted by humans (alongside a ton of trash, which probably outnumbers the good stuff 1:10), but I hope that lemmy eventually has enough stuff.
