Well even if I wanted to go back to Reddit, I couldn’t use it without a decent mobile app, and all of those no longer exist.
Communities don’t spring up fully formed, they grow over time with many rises and falls in activity along the way. Lemmy is still young and we can all do our part to help it.
Yeah the thing about Lemmy is that people immediately expect it to be a reddit clone with all the same niche communities. Reddit didn’t start off with thousands of communities on Day 1. It started off as Reddit. Then they added NSFW and pics. It took decades to grow. People that expect Lemmy to appear with all those same communities overnight but it’s just not gonna happen. You’ve got to give it time. Instead of posting in your favorite football team’s community, you might have to post to the NFL community. Eventually as we grow, more niche communities will spring up.

And using the mobile web site is a pain in the ass, too. Won’t stop nagging me to use the app. No, I do not want to use your shitty app!
At this point I only use it when a thread comes up in a search result, or occasionally to check /r/buildapcsales
old.reddit.com
It’s not nice but it works for the couple of times a week I check some specific subs that I want to stay in.
old.reddit might be discontinued. Reddit is already torn apart
