I don't want to go back to reddit but as it stands now I don't see Lemmy/mastadon being it's replacement. You didn't have to read a manual to browse reddit. It was much more intuitive.

@Korlock @nodsocket I get what you’re saying, the internet’s always been like that. But it’s ultimately the internet themselves who pay the end price like now.
RSS was widely accepted, until google made something convenient. Now we’re back to established sites getting first dibs on what you see like old media. Then theres XMPP, man.. google.. Googles tender embrace turned into deadly smothering.
You can see websites attempting the same thing as Tumblr adds ActivityPub.
I started getting into Lemmy with the reddit API announcement like many others. if the RIF app shuts down I'm never going back, and even if it manages to stick around I probably will be done with reddit. I've committed to Lemmy at this point, I'm trying to build a pathfinder RPG community here, and I've been contributing to many other communities where I can.
The libs will go back immediately because lemmy has too many people who challenge the worldview presented by Western media.
I am still lurking on reddit, while using Lemmy. Frankly, Lemmy is pre-Eternal September, so everyone is nice and the community is cool. But reddit is still a massive repository of info. I think once we hit July and my 3PA goes offline, i will be mostly on Lemmy. Suspect this will be the case for most lemmings.
Anime intros, but Madoka as well as the second intro of season 1 of Gundam 00. One of my favorite intros ever.

As much as I want fediverse to become the norm, the thing is that it doesn't really matter if users switch over - content creators have to switch over. It's the same reason why Mastodon isn't very relevant, very few large names actually moved from Twitter.

The users will go where the content is.
If reddit has 90% of the content it will get 90% of the users. If it has 90% of the users they will generate the content.
It's a chicken and the egg problem that will only changes when someone drops the egg.
Well reddit is currently dropping the egg...
I think all we need is a killer app like RIF or Sync or Apollo
I usually scrolled my subreddits, but the things I absolutely sought out on reddit were the wrestling sub and subs devoted to the toy lines I collect. There are discords for those things, but I hope to stumble across something here sooner than later.
There's nothing stopping you from creating such community yourself and if you don't want to mod it, you can always ask somebody to mod it for you or transfer the ownership to later ;) We also have newcommunities community where you could post it for better visibility (but please read the sticky there about how to cross-link between the instances).
Have fun! ;)
I’ve tried but I keep getting a “match the requested format” on the name part. I’ve googled but so far no help. Any tips?

Most, but they'll always have Lemmy in their back pocket, which is the important part.
I think if the top Reddit third party apps developed a Lemmy app, that would genuinely help keep people here.
The "official" Lemmy apps right now are rough. They aren't terrible, but they are leagues behind any of the main Reddit apps.
