Are you 100% lemmy/mbin/piefed for your forum/thread life or are you still using reddit for something?
100% Lemmy. If I end up on reddit, it’s because I googled something.
We have porn here too.
Mostly weird cartoon porn.
OlafOglaf is pretty good though. 😄Can you drop some links 🧾
Oops, sorry. That’s “Oglaf” with a “g”, my mistake.
Most of which actually comes from Reddit.
Remarkably specific porn
Nowhere near enough though. Especially if you cut out the straight from reddit imports.
It’s all reposted stuff from elsewhere.
and AI slop?
I still use reddit for a few niche communities and browsing comments. I post alot and love my time here but the activity isnt enough to replace it for me yet
TV, Movie, Anime, Video Game, Discussion Threads.
It’s non-existent on Lemmy.
I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.
I have it blocked (just the communities, not the users) so I can’t really say but isnt ani.social pretty popular? I see tons of users, I figured there’d be posts too

EDIT2: I don’t know for sure whether lurkers are counted as active users, mind.
Ahh ok, bummer then. When they first opened I was getting flooded with anime so I blocked it and assumed it continued to flourish
As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.
Once in a while a Reddit thread will come up in search, reading that thread is the extent of my Reddit usage.
On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.
Note that while that’s probably true, if you’re interested and not aware, we do have !flashlight@lemmy.world here.
Whenever it comes up in a web search and I absolutely need it for whatever information I’m looking for, mainly troubleshooting stuff
yeah, sadly there’s a lot of niche technical problems that have only ever been answered as reddit posts. about the only time I go there either.
Game subs.
I use reddit as a comparison when explaining lemmy and the fediverse to the uninitiated.
I read the comments, since lemmy doesn’t have many
I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.
You can’t have a healthy discussion there anymore.
Sometimes it’s in the top few search results. Otherwise I don’t .
Sometimes I will have really obscure tech issues that only 10yr reddit threads can solve. That’s about it though
Yup. The backlog reddit has is currently kinda unbeatable. Although as reddit is increasingly swamped with AI, that’ll become less and less valuable
I mean people much rather ask chatgpt same question 5 times instead of checking reddit now.
Communities that don’t exist or are inactive in the threadiverse: Jake and Amir; Northernlion; UFO 50; Eternal (card game)
When I switched to Lemmy I stayed on Reddit but unsubscribed from everything but a few like these.
The collegehumor guys? Didnt know they were still around
Yeah, they started their own company that mostly does podcasts but they still do some college humor style sketches.
