I actually use both. Reddit to watch or partake in nonsensical angry at the internet posts and Lemmy for real discussion in a niche that I fancy.
Lemmy feels like Reddit did 10 years ago.
- If you feel like you miss the old Reddit webUI while on Lemmy, try the mlmym frontend some instances have enabled. https://old.lemmy.ca, https://old.beehaw.org as examples. I don't know if lemmy.ml has one.
  list with a few more
  
  Oh cool, thanks, it's even better than last time I checked it. lemmy.ml is already struggling with our server. I doubt the admins have time to install themes right now. But maybe soon. Or someone builds a lemmy PWA so every user can have their own interface with api to the instance.
  I actually never used anything other than old.reddit. And m.reddit or l.reddit (the one they recently shut down) on my WAP nokia phone.

  Fellow traveler, I'm happy to tell you that's how it is already!
  The URLs like m.lemmy.world are just a convenience, and you can use Voyager, mlmym, Alexandrite and the rest on ANY Lemmy instance, whether they have set up a convenience URL or not.
  
  Sweet. I was suspecting that it works like Matrix/Element but I was too lazy to check :) Thanks.
- I do the same. It's refreshing to see and I hope some smaller communities will grow a bit :)
- Mostly the same here, but I participate in niche communities on both sides. I am just trying to keep the niche communities from dying.
