I scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ and what I see is either interesting or not to me, and I see some really good memes, get a decent overview of news stories, and learn some neat things. There aren’t really local channels active for where I am.
I scroll Reddit by /all and what I see actively annoys me, is paywalled, is a repost, or is ragebait (or EPIC PWN RESPONSES to ragebait). I go to my local subreddits and there’s some value among all the paywalled content, repetitive text posts of whinging (stuff like tipping culture, driving habits, the less fortunate downtown etc.), and an overall domination of obviously AI-generated Alexa-like questions followed by sus answers.
I’d scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ any day over Reddit anything, other than for local news events/stories and for sports live threads.
