I have fully transitioned to using Lemmy and Mastodon right when third party apps weren’t allowed on Spez’s place anymore, so I don’t know how it is over there anymore.

What do you use? Are you still switching between the two, essentially dualbooting?

What other social media do you use? How do you feel about Fediverse social media platforms in general?

(I’m sorry if I’m the 100th person to ask this on here…)

    Been trying lemmy for a few months, and I have mixed feelings. Not going back to reddit even if hell freezes but if only I could strip the orange turd and the jumping dipshit (and all of us politics) from my feed I’d enjoy it way more. This is most certainly user error, so if anyone has any recommendations I would welcome them. Being on .world is the problem?

    It is, I don’t go on Reddit anymore, it’s insanely toxic. I’ve gotten all I could’ve gotten from there anyway. I only use Lemmy nowadays.

    It’s my only social media. I have Voyager, and it’s all I need. I never used FB or Twitter, or anything other than Reddit. And I’m done with that cesspool.

    Yeah I’m on Lemmy and Mastodon. I also still watch YouTube. They haven’t passed whatever my threshold is for suckitude, yet. I’m sure it’s coming.

    Mostly Lemmy. Mastodon sometimes – I have to spend more time there muting RSS bot accounts to find stuff of my interest.

    Dipping my toes into Bluesky as well. So far it’s been good – very polished experience.

    I also lurk quite a bit on Tildes.net.

    Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I’m considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I’ve never used a Twitter-like interface before so it’s intimidating.

    Unfortunately I still haven’t found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There’s always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it’s hard to know what’s crap and what’s actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn’t have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.

    For me its startet for some years ago with Mastodon,then I grew into the fediverse (I didn’t know anything about it) and now I use loops.video (stil its made for doomscroling) mastodon, Lemmy and pixelfed. Loops I think I’m to old to use that much, (to fast for me) but else I’m really happy with the social media. I haven’t been on a mainstream SOME for 3 years.

    Lemmy after reddit banned me. I’ve been getting into Bluesky, too. Sometimes Mastodon. I’m open to other suggestions, too.

    I use rdx.overdevs.com to read reddit still as it has a lot more fashion, art and vegan content than here, but the only places I interact online in that way anymore are the Fediverse and Fragrantica, but the latter only really for perfume related stuff.
