    I’d love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.

      I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

      Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

      Check out r/lemmino lol.

        Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol

        Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd

        Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:

          Ive been using FreshRSS for years. You can either selfhost it or use one of the public instances.

          A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It’s also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?

            I’m moderately excited, looking forward to exploring the new landscape, but aside of Lyney, I don’t particularly want to pull for any of the characters. (Maaaybe Wriothesley, depending on his personality and kit.)

              I’ll get Furina since collecting archons is a safe bet. Aside from her I’m still evaluating who I really want (possibly Arlechinno, Navia and Neuvillete).

              I’m much more interested in the lore and hoping hoyo finally starts moving the celestia/abyss plot forward big time. It’s about time we see some real big stuff to happen.

                Yeah, I’m looking forward to meeting Navia in-story, she seems nice, just not sure if pull-worthy nice. Otoh I really like geo characters, so if her kit is good, maybe :D I’d love another geo catalyst.

                Re story: Yeah, tbh that plot arc is pretty much the only aspect of Genshin’s story I find engaging. The rest is too juvenile for my taste 😅

                  I’d really love her to be a Geo off-field DPS, but without her damage being tied to a construct like Albedo. I need more damage for my Noelle team 🥲

            Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.

              I’d be terrible as a mod, but I might be up to preprare the posts when I hit my vacation in a few weeks.

              Also, there’s already a community, but with low traction right now.

          I have been using CommaFeed for years. I’m not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.

          It’s funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

          EDIT: Sorry, I missed the “web based”. Today I’m incredibly distracted.

          Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

      The bots won’t stop. And probably have increased. So it’ll be tough to see without slices we’ll never get

        That’s the punchline that makes me chuckle when I read how “little impact” the protests and migration have had.

        Here’s a little secret: Reddit mods can’t know for sure which accounts are bots. They can suspect, but they’re no easy, reliable proof. Reddit admins, though, know exactly which accounts are bots — they just prefer keeping that info to themselves.

        For me, that triggers a great big “Hmmmm”.

      I made the mistake of reading comments on one thread (I moved here full time) on r/Iamatotalpieceofshit about landlords.

      It’s turned into a capitalistic hell hole, not only some of the horrible comments you read but also just need to look at the way the votes go, I felt disgusted tbh.

      My local area sub is still pretty active, but I did notice that in the other subreddit the comments section is a lot more sparse.

      They are probably confused about how to use an app that behaves like an ad carousel
