The fact that Boost still works. One day soon I will open the app and it will have ceased to work and that will be the end of my time as a Redditor.

I got permabanned so nothing

I promised a couple subs I mod to stay on until they find replacement mods. After browsing lemmy, the interface is downright aggravating, though.

Honestly the lack of video content.

Niche communities like Quake Champions and city-specific subs

Lemmy for me isn't even close to what reddit was. Careful selection of several dozen subs over past many years meant that I felt at home browsing the feed. On lemmy, I've tried to join similar instances as my subscribed subreddits, but so far it's empty. The situation is improving and I hope to one day see better content here than in reddit

Mainly for niche communities that haven't gained traction here yet, and for my city's subreddit, which does have a community here but it's completely inactive so far.

I created like 3 communities and I've got around 20 subscribers on each, but no one is posting so I've been using reddit here and there to cross post content from the original subs to kinda just have something there as an example.

I mainly hop on there to check my news/politics multireddit. Hoping we get a similar functionality on here soon. It also helps that my reddit app (Relay) still has API access, and by opening an nsfw subreddit I now have nsfw content from the API again as well.

Is it possible to view/use real reddit subreddits in a Lemmy app? (I have thunder and jerboa installed)

Unfortunately only content. I spent some time subscribing to similar Lemmy communities that I had on Reddit and many of them just don't have the content yet and I can't exactly generate it alone.

You could make the absolute best software platform (not saying Lemmy is it, it's somewhat buggy), but if people don't adopt it, it won't succeed.

The "winner" is often not the best platform either. WhatsApp is popular but kinda shit, same for Instagram, Tiktok etc. Threads might win over Mastodon for a Twitter replacement, just because it comes from a huge entity like Meta and people can use their existing accounts.

Unlike Twitter, Reddit has not yet fallen off the deep end where using it on e.g old Reddit on desktop computer is a terrible experience. I think the upcoming months will show if replacing mods etc ends up biting it in the ass.

With Boost finally closing, I am without Reddit on my phone. I'll have to see if losing the "let's browse Reddit a bit on my phone because I'm bored" option does good things for my mental health and daily life overall.

Just a couple of health-related subs that haven’t fully migrated. I don’t particularly want to use Reddit, but I get more value from lore passed down woman-to-woman than I do from doctors who want to attribute everything to ~~hysteria~~ anxiety and depression.

My work subreddit, as we are going through industrial action and it's the main communication hub. So it's useful to keep updated.
