Since RiF shut down I haven't logged into Reddit but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't even tempted. I'm giving Lemmy a fair shake for enough time to get used to it before I make any determination.
I really don't want to have to use the Reddit app...

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Don't go back brother
sadly people from my country (Indonesia) still mostly use reddit for sharing news and memes, and even though I already made the equivalent community here, it will take a long time for it to have the same level of engagement as the original subreddit
(un)luckily reddit is blocked in my country so there is so much less toxic user (the toxic one goes to twitter and tiktok)
Took me a good week before I stopped missing it. Basically like quitting anything addictive to be honest.
Sign out, delete the app, delete your bookmarks. Go read a book or something.
Just add a load of subs as feeds to an RSS reader, that’s what I’ve done. It’s not a perfect experience, but it’s good enough that you can still browse the content and you don’t have to use the app - or even the website for that matter. All you have to do to add is append the url for any sub with /.rss
Oh that's really neat I wasn't aware of that feature. Thanks!
What "app" are you using (for Lemmy) or just the browser? Memmy's incredible
I use Connect for Lemmy I'm liking it a lot but I'm willing to shop around still.
Heyyy, Lemmy got a mention in the article 👍
r/videos is posting text descriptions of videos.
This actually sounds a lot more interesting than r/videos was before. I feel like I'm missing out on an amazing meme-based guessing game.
There was a fun one, ExplainAFilmPlotBadly, where you gave text descriptions that are technically correct, but misleading
