Reddit isn’t as bad as Twitter. Though it’s heading that way. But there is an alternative that is 90% as good.

    What’s annoying is how stubborn they are about moving over to Lemmy. I know it’s not super straightforward, but it’s also not nearly as complicated as they make it sound.

    Most people use reddit on mobile. All you gotta do is tell them to use on of the many apps and sign up that way. It's stupid easy to do.

    Which, like, how?

    The Reddit app fucking sucks and they forced all the good ones to shut down.

    people don’t realize (and don’t care) there’s an alternative. The point of the reddit app is to make it as easy as possible for someone to access and consume content. I realize it takes literally seconds to set up a lemmy account but it requires way more thinking to interact with this platform than being spoon fed from an algorithm

    What apps do you recommend for Android? I'm using Sync which is pretty nice, but always interested to hear other opinions

    I was a RIF user, and tried all the apps. Boost is what I ended up with because you can make it pretty much look just like RIF.

    Dude I was a diehard RIF user, talklittle is the GOAT. I use his app for tildes.net which is also great.

    The lemmy community is a very specific subset of reddit’s. Reddit has a somewhat more diverse set of opinions and interests. Despite lemmy not having a specific algorithm, it ends up being an echo chamber nonetheless, a bit more than reddit imo.

    That and of course the fact that if you remove political content and tech/linux, there is hardly anything left.

    Not quite there yet. Not until niche communities rise up and become commonplace.
