    Imma be honest, the only thing I use reddit for is the porn. Things are starting to pick up over here a bit, but for a while it was almost nothing.

    Basically what I’m saying is that I don’t really care what happens to Reddit anymore. I left with the exodus about a year ago and never looked back (except for the porn).

      Unfortunately that “picking up” here looks to mostly be a bot that is grabbing reddit posts so it’s still mostly reddit. There really aren’t that many people on Lemmy so I wouldn’t expect to see much of that stuff made specifically to post here.

        I believe it will happen. In only 1 year, this place went from ghost town to 30+ comments on most posts. Give it a few more years of people spreading the word and reddit continuing to make people go elsewhere, and it will almost be the same.

          And if any instance turns into what modern Reddit is, as an user of systems as fragmented as the fediverse (systems being the Linux ones), I can only recommend to hop into another instance, or even make your own while trying to avoid the mistakes that led a given instance to become that.

        I have that bot blocked. Those posts have little value here since no one seems to comment on them.

      Yeah, old.reddit is good for porn. Otherwise new reddit wants you to use the app and login for porn. That’s weird as fuck. Don’t track what I’m baitin’ to.

      I’m curious, never used reddit for porn. Why would you use it for porn? Just go on other websites dedicated to porn.

        There’s a lot more amateur content. Places like r/gonewild have a massive amount of daily posts. Plus there’s a subreddit for pretty much every fetish you could have with communities built around them. It’s an entirely different vibe than just going to Pornhub and picking videos. And if you’re into things that are drawn, reddit is overflowing with that kind of content.

      I use it for r/sysadmin and niche/hobby stuff still but am pretty happy that the fediverse is here: It’s only going to get better as time goes on at this point.
