When reddit started it's dive down the enshitification hole. As for things I wish it had, a lemmy version of multireddits would be nice, especially since we can end up with multiple communities for the exact same thing here.

I assume you mean the federation in general or at least the reddit alternatives like mbin or lemmy. this is asked every so often and there are sorta multiple waves and I came in response to the reddit api thing were it was really apparent how things were gonna be.

Tired of 14 YO "experts" and trolls.

Got a new phone and decided to use the opportunity to change up alot about how I do things, including using new social media platforms

Not sure which wave in the toilet bowl I rode in on, but I do know I will one day be flushed.

Don't hang on to tightly.

The reddit exodus during the API policy changes and 3rd party app shutdowns

I think I did try out Lemmy even before that. I remember making an account in Mander to try it out. Didn't use it much and forgot about it, even the username.
I didn't know about the Fediverse or Lemmy then. Didn't know about the progressive political background of Lemmy and the development too.

Then made this account. It's nice.
I still use reddit with Infinity for Reddit, since communities on my state, country and mother tongue are more active there(I'm from Kerala/India).

1. Multi-communities would be very good to have.
2. A feature to save draft comments/posts on the Jerboa app would be cool too. Not directly related to Lemmy tho

I think both have been brought to attention of the developers and they have plans to add that. Cool people.

Not reddit but the same

When they nuked third party apps. For a long time I used the official app, then I switched to 3rd party, nd I couldn't go back

I was already on Mastodon when the API price increase thing happened on reddit and my favourite client (infinity) became useless. I wasn't going to use the bloat-fest that is the reddit app, so I switched to Lemmy in "protest". Now I'm using eternity (a fork of infinity) and I have found a place in this community where I'm incredibly happy. I'm never going back to that shithole and I don't miss anything from there. There's a lot of karma-farming and every single person there reads exactly the same. There's no real discourse. The only times I use it (and through a web browser) is when I'm looking for solutions to some tech-related issue, and that is, if I haven't found the solution here already.

I always wanted more decentralized alternatives. But none of them ever had any real users, then June 12, 2023 happened and I found out about this, that everyone is going to. And actually not a dead platform.

I used Boost for Reddit but well, we know how that went. I really loved Boost. The dev pivoted to Lemmy, so I did as well. So far the experience has been pretty solid.

I used other Fediverse platforms since about 2022 and was keen to find one that replicated a more reddit-like style.

Apollo for Reddit died. Came here as it was supposedly a better experience. Used to be super active and use Reddit for hours a day for nearly a decade, now I barely use this platform at all as it’s insufferable and tiny tbh. The Linux Cultism here is off the charts and cringe as fuck, the communities are tiny and spammy and bloat the All page, so I block users and communities every day, and it’s been a pretty mediocre experience here for the year I’ve used it. Reddit is ofc a crapshoot now so it’s not worth going back, so I just use this platform for maybe 5-10m a day and that’s all my social media browsing for the day. So Reddit dying and not being replaced with a decent alternative actually cracked my addiction for endless scrolling which is super nice.
