my solution: if you gotta cave to the craves, READ on reddit but only POST on federated. this will kill them long-term, and for me at least, its an easy "fast" to hold to. If we only post to federated, the quality here will keep going up. Reading doesn't help reddit stay alive (at least not compared to writing, giving them "content").
I mean, I'm seeing three living examples here of how much she loved C.O.C.K
I agree that the depth and size of userbase is key. I don't think its unrealistic to expect lemmy to have a better commenter to reader ratio, so we don't necessarily need the scale of reddit.... but I do agree more than is here now.
The coming weeks will determine the long-term course of Lemmy, I think. My encouragement to people is "read on reddit if you must, but only post to lemmy/kbin/federated". That is easier to hold to than a "no reddit" diet, and it will starve reddit in the long-term. Its more realistic to get posters to stop posting to reddit than to get readers to stop reading. YMMV.
At least one of my primary use boxes has been running Fedora since 2003 (and Red Hat Linux RIP before that, going back to... 1996? since fedora was the successor to Red Hat Linux, I'd say I've got 25 years on "Fedora" at this point). I have rotated a variety of Debian derivatives on other boxes used in parallel, particularly Debian itself. What keeps me coming back to Fedora is its "stable plus really really fresh", consistently, for a long time.
Wow, if you're used to apollo, wefwef.app is surprisingly amazing! hard to believe its running in the browser
