      I’m getting my doomscrolling and worthless banter/arguing with strangers “fix” from lemmy.

      But Lemmy is no replacement for local news/rumormill, or most career/hobby subs, yet. Except for at a very high level. Like metro area, or “gaming”. Reddit is still far superior only because theres already a community there.

      Eventually Lemmy may get to that point. Time will tell. I still haven’t installed the Reddit app, and I basically only end up there when some other search brings me to Reddit. I’ve already stopped muscle-memory impulsively typing it. My autocomplete for www.red is no longer safe-for-work.

        I still check reddit for community and user based experiences on topics I don’t trust the Google bias with. The occasional ‘Fuck Spez!’ is a nice reminder.

        Lemmy has the potential to become a future database of such kind but it’ll take time. Well unless there’s a disruption in the industry, that suddenly makes people move to or post more on Lemmy, like going viral through Hollywood maybe.

        We still need to figure out a way to make it easier for younger and older people to use Lemmy, or it never happens.
