Reddit was tolerable because of the app I used. With the apps gone, old.reddit a pain in the ass to use, and new reddit being a garbage mobile site, there's little reason to go back. Using it's site is such a chore, it's no longer worth it, even if it did have great content at one time. The content was getting pretty recycled even into the mid 2010s though.

Your first part about references was one of the things I disliked the most about Reddit where someone would make a pop culture reference and it would spiral into.a comment chain of just quotes with no originality, I'm glad that hasn't caught on in Lemmy.
My second least favourite thing, US defaultism, is alive and well on Lemmy unfortunately. On Reddit you would be told it's an American website and to deal with it, well this is the fediverse and I don't want to deal with it. Just say where you are from or what country news are about, it's not much to ask.

American or not, online we’re a global community, and it never hurts to remind of that reality when needed.
Very refreshing indeed. Glad we have less to feel like we are all using a specific country's website
Duno i dont even think about reddit anymore. I just enjoy beeing able to post in comunitys that have actuall working moderation instead of side wide mods that dont get niche cultural refferrences.
For the first few months after the API disaster I used Lemmy exclusively but then I came out as trans and went back to Reddit to read and participate in the trans subreddits because on Lemmy they don't have as many participants, resources and info.
Right now I'm at a point where I don't need it as much anymore and I'm ready to slowly get back to Lemmy only.
Although I mainly use Bluesky now since many artists switched to it and the feed is so much more controllable compared to Mastodon.
I really miss the worthless internet points.
Can't agree or disagree because i never had a real account.
On kbin / mbin you can see your worthless internet points again (as well as who it was that upvoted or downvoted you). You can live in that world once more.
All I can say is, lmao
I started reading but then remembered I don't give a shit about reddit. The only people that bitch about reddit on lemmy and the addicts. It's just a fucking website, use it if you like it or move on. Nobody cares and neither platform will get better by bitching about the other.

Hmm. Yeah, I think it's less of either one dying, but a stirring event causing a sorting.
I didn't like what was happening over there, so I tried anything but reddit for a while, and the fediverse fit me better, so I settled here.
Edit: I edited the edit because people were not reading the edits when I created new edits
Edit : also I miss edits
Edit: BTW I am not saying edits are good or bad.
