All these users are suffering there but none of them seem to be considering…. Leaving

I saw one that said they would stay until Reddit charges a fee to use the site…like why are they staying??? JUST FUCKING LEAVE

One even said “there are no viable alternatives” when talking about Reddit, like excuse me what the fuck?

I'll probably get hate, but the content just isn't there. I tried using Lemmy as my main, but most of the communities I'd follow on Reddit just weren't on here, and if they were, they would have a couple hundred of subscribers at most, and there would be 7 different versions of the same community on different instances with no way to measure quality at first glance. Lemmy thrives for geeky hobbies that surround the FOSS space that gave birth to it, so communities like Linux or Unixporn have a strong enough presence, but for pretty much anything else it's just not there yet. Is this a negative feedback loop? Yes, but there isn't much to be done about it until shit REALLY hits the fan

PD: As an added, Lemmy can get incredibly circle-jerky at times, even more so than Reddit already is. Like seriously at times 90% of the content on my feed is just shitting on Reddit plebs

yeah that's honestly what I found as well. once I discovered you can patch RIF to use your own personal api token, I've been continuing to use reddit. it's such a subpar experience compared to what it used to be tho

I’m surprised they let you use your own API token. During the API apocalypse, Spez specifically said that was “not allowed.”

It's usable for bots and such, I've seen reports of some users getting banned for using it in patched clients when detected

I was banned several times. Now i moderate a private subreddit and it's fine.
