Personally, I like the Lemmy community better. It's definitely possible to find great stuff on reddit (and in particular for news, I think reddit is superior to what I've been finding on Lemmy), but the overall ratio of content : crap is much, much higher here.

Now that I've broken the seal, I honestly am not sure what people are going back to so eagerly on reddit. Maybe just the dopamine of lots and lots of stories and comments to interact with, or maybe they're part of something I don't interact with there.

There are a lot of subreddits for specific tv shows or games. Ngl that's the biggest temptation for me. There are shows that I'm obsessed with that no one else in my life has the same love for, and Reddit is the only place I can talk to anyone about them. Sad to let that go.

Hobbies too, especially more obscure ones. I’m really missing the journal/planner subs.

I knew I’d be tempted to go back, though, so I deleted my 13year old account. No regrets and I’m not signing up again. I just hope that my little communities find their way into the fediverse soon.

It's going to take a longer time to fill up the less tech-inclined subs. /c/Self-hosted is growing quickly but I'm probably not going to see that with /c/crochet for a bit. If your journaling sub is unrestricted on Reddit maybe you could make a post advertising the Lemmy community.

I would, but I deleted my account a couple of days ago. Oops lol
