With the reddit API debacle far in the review, I’m wondering if any of you went back to the platform.
Edit: Looks like Spez was right :(

Unfortunately yes. Unfortunately Lemmy is too small for many of the things I did on Reddit. I mainly enjoyed lurking around in discussions on Reddit, only posting comments when I really cared (just like I do now here on Lemmy). Whenever I played a game, watched a show, etc I’d go to Reddit to read about other people’s opinions and discussions. But Lemmy is too small to have any meaningful discussion about a specific game or some other content.
Often I see here the “if you miss it why not create it” sentiment, but that’s just not how I used Reddit. I often don’t want to have a meaningful discussion with s small group of people but rather read the opinions and memes of a large group of people.
So far, I’ve been able to limit it to browser usage though. The web experience of Reddit is abysmal, but at least I can block the ads etc. And I’m still here for all the content that is on Lemmy.
