I'm on kbin. It's just... lightweight reddit basically. I dig it. The one thing we're all going to lose is the content from 15 years of reddit though. Can't just magically recreate or replace that in any short time frame.

One could say you... digg it.

That content isn't active discussions anymore, just archive to be searched. It'll still be there. Just make sure you make new content in the fediverse.

Absolutely, people act like swapping over is no biggie, but there were all kinds of posts that led to obscure answers and provided such simple and pertinent information. Don’t know something, try a google then ask on reddit and someone will be either super helpful or condescending. It’s going to take a LOOOOOOOONG time for people to really swap if ever.

You know, there's a huge difference between using reddit to find answers/solutions and actually adding content yourself. I've swapped in that I'm not posting/commenting on reddit anymore.

I can imagine I will be directed to reddit a lot when in search of specific information, but I'm blocking ads so they won't get money from that and basically I'll just be 'taking' from them, adding nothing of value really.

Same. I'm fine with using reddit for my own benefit, but refuse to give anything to them besides website visit counts.

[–] zeppo 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

conversations over 2 weeks on reddit are entirely dead, though. People think you're a lunatic for commenting on something over 5 days old, and while older posts are interesting, it's not the way sites like this are used. Maybe for searches for information, but not conversation.

What’s the real difference between Lemmy and Kbin? Like, why use one over the other?
