How has it been for you? Do you get FOMO feeling sometimes?

I use Reddit less and less but haven’t fully quit yet. Always have this odd feeling of FOMO regards content.

Not only that, some subreddits haven’t migrated to any other platform unfortunately. Or they have but the content is very little compared to Reddits content.

Note - wasn’t sure where to post this. So if this wasn’t the right place, apologies!

The issue I have with Reddit - it’s full of hateful people and most content is just bots karma farming.

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses!

EDIT 2: Thanks for the ones that mentioned RSS-Feed. Just got it and it’s amazing. Still manage to only follow the subreddits that I like without crapads.

    For me it was great. I’ve been trying to leave that shithole for years; Lemmy got enough content quantity and diversity to keep me entertained.

    I do miss a few niche subs; mostly r/conlangs, game-specific subs, and a few subs for anime/manga/LN series. But I don’t really feel missing out.

    I also miss behaving like a shit-flinging monkey and chimping out. I don’t do this here in Lemmy, but I did it all the time in Reddit. I guess that I contributed to what you call “hateful people”? Perhaps not, you don’t look like the sort of user that I’d chew on.

    My issue with Reddit is also the userbase. But it’s on another level: the local culture of Reddit encourages braindeadness, disingenuousness, entitlement, and circlejerking.

      issues

      i find paragraph comments with a tone that sounds like garbage

      often found in arguments

      they agree with people who don’t care about things that don’t affect them

      reasonable comments are downvoted when they’re unpopular

        not caring about things that don’t affect you is more acceptable there

        This, too. So much this.

        In Reddit you’re either “waaah you evil!!11one” or you have strong opinions about every fucking thing. And what a coincidence - those strong opinions happen to coincide with the ones of most other subreddit users! It also pisses me off.
