Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

    I think we can safely assume the large majority of Reddit users don’t even have the slightest clue about the existence of Lemmy - unfortunately.

            Its really cool to see username@instance1 and username@instance2 on community instance3. It means Activityhub is doing its job and making us truly federated.

                Its been pretty good. Lemmy has more momentum…but that doesn’t really mean much when you can just subscribe to different instances all over the place.

                It has quite a few UI templates. So you can further customize your experience. Its initial setup is MUCH nicer than lemmy. It has starter pack kinda deals. Theres a lot of other cool features like reposts show all comments from both postings. I also self hosted my own for a tiny bit, but I like the default piefed.social website the most. It is much more stable haha.

                Plus Piefed can hook into other ActivityHub providers like peertube, mastodon, etc…without any real issues. Its a bit better than lemmy in that it utilizes the nature of the fediverse a bit more. Dont get me wrong, there both very solid projects. But as a layman, Im really enjoying piefed.

                  Thanks, that’s very interesting, I will experiment some time. I found kbin utilized the fediverse more than lemmy as well, but it mostly died off.

            I hope it continues as Lemmy gets bigger, but I’m kind of doubtful it won’t eventually decay in the same way as reddit. At least, I don’t see anything inherently different that would avoid that. Perhaps the federation and moderation structure might help, but that doesn’t seem certain yet…

        Pretty much. I still occasionally have to go to reddit for some random questions, and the difference in tone is often rather jarring.

        My experience with people on Reddit was better than the one with people on Lemmy, but i am probably an exception considering the amount of people saying Lemmy is much better than Reddit

            My instance hides most political communities unless you are subscribed to them so people saying that Russia and China are amazing is not a problem; i see people complaining about lemmy.ml way more

        How does Discord even enter one’s mind as an alternative to Reddit?

        Also, they have no idea how to use it? Bullshit. If they can use Reddit, they can use Lemmy.

          How does Discord even enter one’s mind as an alternative to Reddit?

          With its forum channels, it at least has more of a claim to it than Twitter imo. And I’ve seen a lot of people claim they’re moving to Twitter/Mastodon/Bluesky as a Reddit alternative.
