I’m a long time reddit user… I should say I’m quite hooked. But lemmy feels a lot quiet. My primary interests are electronics, embedded programming, piracy 😏 and selfhosting. Apart from the last community the others are quite deserted.

I’v been on and off since past 1 1/2 years. No change…

On the other hand Mastodon is going well. And I nurture the interactions there. Lemmy could be the same. I too feel Reddit is kinda on-to-your face and aggressive.

    I like it, I know exactly what kind of person seeks this out lol. You should hop on Rednote. Just give it a try. Not as an alternative, just a whole new thing

        Not at all. They made it specifically for diasporoids. There are a lot of people from all over the world on there. My 2 main intl. oomphs are in Brazil and Iraq. There are people who post videos from trips in the DPRK where they have picnics and sing-alongs. Do not deny yourself

          Or you guys can be miserable and circlejerk with other westerners, the only thing you know how to do. Until you die. Disabled and forgotten in a society that hates you. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, but I would wish it on random annoying folks
