    I feel like this questionnaire is missing one rather obvious path:

    I’m not using Lemmy because I prefer it over Reddit in any way. It has more technical problems, it lacks the niche communities that Reddit is famous for, the community is more toxic and rather extremists, and it is a splintered mess

    However,

    It’s not really a matter of choice. I simply can’t browse Reddit on mobile anymore. I’m not blind or anything, but the official app is simply not useable at all. Even the FOSS POS apps of Lemmy are better, and that’s saying something

    It’s not a matter of preference. It’s a matter of necessity
