For someone who’s into niche tech stuff, I found myself going back to Reddit from time to time when I’m looking for info. I wish this isn’t the case.
Really? I left on blackout day and haven’t been back. I thought that was normal.

Lemmy doesn’t have nearly enough people to be worth using as the only platform people are on unless you never engaged with any niche subreddits. I was pretty active on subs where only like 100 people participated, so finding things like that on Lemmy are impossible. Lemmy is only decent for tech people at this point, it needs to get a tremendous amount of extra people joining to be good enough for anyone else to drop Reddit entirely. And even then, lots of info exists on Reddit and nowhere else that still make it a useful tool for other purposes.
Sorry I just don’t buy that a large portion of people are already using Lemmy and nothing else (you might be, idk) unless they only care about memes of beans and nothing else.

I didn’t say you did? Weird response.
I removed all of my history and left when they announced the API day.
I’ve been back a few times from Google searches looking for a specific data on things that don’t exist elsewhere.
I poked around a little today to see what the temperatures like, feels like it’s at least 2/3 more toxic, course it could just be The first people out were the least tolerant of toxicity.
What? It was the easiest move I’ve ever made. Deleted a 13+ year old account. I’m loving it here. Fuck Reddit.

I find that hard to believe. lemmy right now is worse than reddit ever was
Trolled
I see.
16 years on Reddit and probably waiting the last 10 for a decent alternative. It wasn’t hard at all. I do go back sometimes to debunk Lemmy FUD though.
Let’s be realistic. Reddit have years of post and discussion saved who are very useful for research. So the answer is simple, use Reddit as a Wikipedia and Post new content here or on any other free platform. (Well technically new. Some meme i saw here are older than me 😅).
