I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!

[โ€“] Arcanus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Staying here for sure

[โ€“] kakes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I'm likely going to stick with Lemmy regardless of how Reddit steers course. I love that it's "by the people," and I don't mind the smaller community.

Plus, I'm old enough now that I'm getting used to moving on to "the next" online community.

[โ€“] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then Iโ€™m fully out. Iโ€™ve already deleted posts.

I'm stubborn enough not to.

Maybe I'll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.

But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain't no way I'm going back now.

[โ€“] Alex@feddit.it 8 points 1 year ago

I'll stay here

[โ€“] wasd4321@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Use both, cannot entirely abandon reddit just yet

[โ€“] Chapi_Chan@lemmy.one 8 points 1 year ago

Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.

Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.

[โ€“] howarddo@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.

I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.

[โ€“] ngwoo@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.

I still have my reddit account, because I need to backup some stuff, might check it tomorrow, then delete it and focus on Lemmy

[โ€“] Alpagu@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to use both. I will leave redit as soon as the Turkish community grows.

If things keep improving and growing the way they are I'll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I'll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.

I am staying, never to return to reddit.

[โ€“] mikytoast@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics

I'm going to stay. Whether it's Lemmy or something else, the fediverse is how I want to engage with the internet.

[โ€“] dear_faye@halubilo.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be using both - Reddit because of habit, and mostly to just lurk. I won't upvote/downvote or contribute anything - it can't be debated that it's still a treasure trove of knowledge. But I'll be actively contributing here on Lemmy for sure because I want this to be the next home :)

[โ€“] Lx32@feddit.it 9 points 1 year ago

I think that I'll do the same. In three days on lemmy I've done a lot of comments. While on reddit I was lurking the majority of the time.

[โ€“] Andy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.

[โ€“] Denaton@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Just joined a few minutes ago, i used Mastadon before but didn't it like it, feels stiff (i never was a Twitter user) but this is easier to use since i have been using Reddit for a while, but i don't quite understand where i search for communities, what app do you all use?

Personally, while I've decided to stay off Reddit for the foreseeable future, I am gonna hop back on here and there to more or less finalize my stuff there. My "cakeday" is in a week or so, so I figure that's a good final day to say goodbye.

My soft timeline is to stay off for the year and see where things stand then.

[โ€“] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I will be using both for now.

I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won't be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it's something I am very glad exists though. It's the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it's very promising with a few rough edges.

P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here ๐Ÿ˜‰

[โ€“] Arcanus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Staying here for sure

[โ€“] piezoelectron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

I'm on both, but I'll stop using reddit when I can't use sync anymore.

I've already let Jerboa take Boost's place on my app bar, but I'm sure I'll keep using Reddit too until Boost ceases to function.

For me Jerboa just isn't there yet in terms of functionality, but I'm hoping it'll get there soon!

[โ€“] anders@rytter.me 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@zinklog I'm staying on Fedi

And use Reddit to read communities which aren't here but never really post anything there.

[โ€“] coldv@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I set up an RSS reader for my favourite subreddits so basically I have Reddit on read-only mode. I will save my engagement for Lemmy.

i'v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account

[โ€“] Mastersord@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

For the foreseeable future, Iโ€™ll use both. Despite everything, reddit still has tons of niche groups that I like to read. Lemmy and Kbin are still young and I want to see them grow, mature, and surpass Reddit, but that is not going to happen overnight.

[โ€“] rammer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

I'll mainly stay here and contribute content to Lemmy. But I'll probably go back for a few specialty subs. e.g. r/HFY

[โ€“] SteelBeard@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Both kinda, if RIF is gone I'll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.

[โ€“] notExactlyI20@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Already deleted my account, but still having Infinity installed. Hopefully someone can make it work with the Lemmy API (as the dev gave consent for someone to fork his project to make it work with Lemmy)

I'll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I'm done posting on reddit, and I'm only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I'll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I'm trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

[โ€“] Kyoyeou@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

If I don't lie to myself,

I know I'm going to first go on Lemmy, scroll and comment and post Then if it gets boring or what seems to be the case where I see again and again the same post for 2 days in a row, then I'll go to Reddit to continue

[โ€“] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I already erased all of my post history for all of my accounts on Reddit. I'm not saying that I won't go back to a specific group to read something if I need it or Google search something If the sub still exists in the data still there. But there would have to be something pretty substantial for me to ever actually log in and recontribute to any community there.

Whether I stay on Lemmy or not depends on the content here. I'm not one to spend hours a day doom scrolling, My work is 10 minutes on 5 minutes off kind of thing so it's nice to have something to read and ponder in my down time but honestly I was spending way too much of it on Reddit anyway.

[โ€“] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Between the website and mlem, I believe Lemmy has a decent user experience so far. Iโ€™m only monitoring Reddit to see how bad they are doing

[โ€“] ratz30@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm done using reddit on mobile without 3rd party apps. Might drop in occasionally on desktop looking for answers to whatever niche hobby thing I can't find here. My usage will certainly be much less than before though.

[โ€“] champion@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Will be using both for now until more people jump ship
