Honestly over the last year since the great migration, the discussions on lemmy have really grown and matured to the point where i don't really see the value of reddit anymore

[–] crimroy@sopuli.xyz 13 points 9 months ago

The real value of reddit for me lies in its cache of information contained in answers to questions from over the years. Whenever I'm looking online for a solution to a problem I'm trying to solve I'll eventually add "reddit" to the search and I almost always find the answer that way.

The only use I have for Reddit anymore is for super niche information. For example we were planning to go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom today but it's going to rain this afternoon. I checked their site and it said they were open 11-6, my BIL checked their app and at 11:30 it said they were currently closed. Found a Reddit post from someone confirming the park was closed for the weekend, and we didn't waste a trip up. (as an extra annoying aside, apparently this information was posted on Six Flag's Instagram page, because expecting a huge company to maintain a website is I guess just too much when they can offload it to social media.)

For me there's still value in the niche communities like r/rimworld and the like, but for everything else I'm firmly on Lemmy now
