Pick an interface. Do you prefer to browse Reddit with:

Flip a coin, pick an instance. Are you:

Building momentuum

  • Jumpstart your subscription list using https://redditmigration.com
  • Try commenting or posting. Just try it! Many people who stopped engaging on reddit find the community more rewarding here.
  • Try sticking with Lemmy / Kbin for a few days. Until your fingers learn to get their fix a new way, and you get your subscription list built up a bit.

What next?

Many people are happy at this point… but what to do if you want to help the switch to fediverse but you’re still jonesing for reddit after a few days? A few ideas….

  • Its OK! Reddit simply has more volume and a bigger stack of communities as of Jun 30, 2023. Its /probably/ (?) not going to disappear overnight. Its not an either/or, you can use lemmy / kbin more and more over time.
  • Start your internet browsing time on lemmy / kbin first. If you’re “still hungry”, supplement with reddit.
  • Consider instituting a “read only reddit” policy: no posts, comments, or upvotes. Its MUCH easier to stop adding to Reddit than it is to quit cold turkey. If you don’t like reddit’s behavior, this is a good way to collectively switch momentum toward the fediverse without making big personal sacrifices.

    i can’t figure out how to subscribe to communities that are outside of my instance? i keep trying to do the thing where you append it to the url or search for it but it’s not working…

    I urge everyone to support a community you like by posting interesting topics and commenting, and the rest will follow. Don’t just wait for people to do it.

    Might be a stupid question, but I iust signed up for lemmy.world today and wanted to add some communities from the migration list here. The equivalent of r/anarchychess is listed as https://sopuli.xyz/c/anarchychess and on my first visit to that site I couldn’t really figure out how to subscribe… in this case sopuli would be the hosting instance if I understand. Do I need a sopuli account to subscribe and just add that account to my lemmy app? Or did I just not find the right option?
