I deleted my Reddit account today. Six years old with 7k karma and some coins I've paid for. It's clear the CEO will do anything to trample over moderators and developers to get what he wants. I don't have another place to move to. I did sign up for some Lemmy servers, but I'm afraid the fragmentation due to how servers federate with each other will lead to smaller communities.

It’s actually OK and normal to be part of a smaller community.

  My concern is lack of content / discussion - you have to hope that there are users in that small community that are willing to generate good content, and there are users to contribute to the discussion around it.

You only need to sign up to one server generally.

  One of the popular ones(?), Beehaw, defedereated from lemmy.world and another citing moderation issues as those servers allow open registration.

    Yes, so of the 50+ instances one of them decided they didn't want their small community to be altered and disconnected. I think still "generally" you only need to sign up to one instance.

Rookie numbers. I pulled the plug on a decade+ old account with 140k karma. Fuck it and fuck reddit. I'll take my attention somewhere else.

  Same. My Reddit account is 12 years and I have over 190k combined karma. I used to use the official app because “it’s official” but after using Apollo I cannot fathom going back. Haven’t been on Reddit now for close to 2 weeks and have barely noticed. I’ve just been playing a lot more Zelda trying to get through the Silo book series. I’m sure I’ll find new communities for my actual interests but Reddit was always very “noisy” to me due to being subscribed to so many subs.

My 13 year old account got shadow banned so they made it easy on me

15 years old account here. I'm using Redact to delete all comments and posts. It runs on my phone so it's easy to do so. Don't delete your account as Reddit is actively restoring your comments. Keep it and keep deleting whatever they restore.

We already have a solution to that, a unified search engine for most federated communities https://lemmyverse.net/communities https://lemmyverse.net/communities There is a duplicate communities and fragmentation problem, but…..did you see Reddit’s fragmentation? It’s about the same
