It’s non-existent on Lemmy.

I don’t really post anything, I just lurk and read the discussion, don’t really have motivation to post since I’m kinda anti-corporate right now, but I just wanna absorb all the info they have to satisfy my brain’s curiosity.

I need a steady drip feed of bonehurtingjuice that Lemmy has not been able to sufficiently provide

Pretty much everything remotely niche. Subs devoted to individual video games, for instance. The only game I play that’s on lemmy is https://lemmy.world/c/pixeldungeon.

To participate in smaller local/regional communities, because they don’t exist or are basically dead on Lemmy. On reddit, almost every city has it’s own community, while on Lemmy some countries don’t even have communities or just a few people there looking more like a private group chat.

It could be party due to the decentralized nature, every community perhaps has it’s own server, but unless I am able to find it…

I tried to use it a few days ago and the toxicity is insane, it feels like Reddit is filled with trash talking kids to draw attention to themselves or AIs.

You can’t have a healthy discussion there anymore.

Most of my limited reddit usage is for work. I do IT work,and sometimes solutions can be found there, or at least hints. It’s still pretty low, maybe 10% or less of stuff I search for find actionable hit on reddit. Only other thing is stuff like comments on Tom Carey videos, which I do like to see. I know stuff like YouTube, insta,tiktok, etc will have em too, but sometimes I’m in the mood to see from multiple sources, and I don’t usually find those type of niche reactions on Lemmy. I do see fans of course, but not as often.

On occasion I’ll check in on some niche hobby boards that don’t really have an active Lemmy variant, or large archive of content yet. Sometimes you want to see a flashlight beamshot comparison of a Nichia 519a 5000k led compared to a 5700k from a particular manufacturer, and it’s just not on Lemmy.

There is one community JimCornette and I visit one time a week just to check a couple rantings about different ratings for different shows

It’s almost the same posts/comments every time, and it’s been that way for 5+ years

But I still go because it’s not a giant circle jerk for basement sweatys and there is the occasional informative or enriching post

Nothing as of a few months after they killed third party apps. It took me a couple more months to stop using it as a source.

As much as I hate to say it, I’d still much rather go to google and search reddit, than go on any other website google proposes. Everything is just trying to get you to buy nonsense or scroll through a 10 page article for a one sentence solution that is probably outdated.

r/nba and my city’s sub. Both have equivalent communities here but aren’t as active, so I visit from time to time to see what’s going on. But that’s it, I don’t browse anywhere else on the site.

I use lemmy, blusky, and tumblr

I return for both the LEGO deals and leaks subreddits. I’ve been using lurkit.vercel.app as my viewer since I closed my reddit account.

I got shadow banned for no reason, so only Lemmy for me. I appealed for so many times on Reddit, yet no freakin’ answer.
