The only times I’ve been back in at least two years are when posts here force me to go there for the content I’m looking for. Hate when that happens, but I take solace in the fact they’re losing money on me due to using ad-blocking & a browser that forgets everything by default (Firefox Focus).
That bugs me, too. For images, at least, Lemmy can host just fine. It just takes an extra step to copy the image or link and add it to the post. Considering that Reddit blocks a lot of VPNs, hosting the image here means better visibility (for the many people here who use VPNs.)
Besides, who wants to give Reddit the extra views? I sure don’t.
There’s a very simple solution to this: don’t use Reddit.

Unfortunately, most of the interesting niche hobby discussions are going there these days.
Are you suggesting they should ban Reddit before Reddit bans them?
That seems like the best option to me.

Lemmy is only marginally better for sub bans.
Yes, that’s true, but Lemmy isn’t a central platform like reddit.
