Hello everyone!

My name is Thatiany Nunes. I hold a master's degree from the Department of Visual Contents at Dongseo University, South Korea. I am conducting a research study to understand the impact of the Reddit migration on Lemmy and its community dynamics.

However, I am now reaching out to extend a warm invitation to the entire community to participate in a short, multiple choice survey. This survey aims to gather your experiences and perceptions of the Reddit migration on Lemmy. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and participation is entirely voluntary. Rest assured, all responses will be kept strictly confidential and will be used solely for academic purposes.

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

Check out Red Reader for sane mobile Reddit browsing. I've been using it since RIF died.
