Ask Lemmy

I'm mostly a lurker, but certainly plan to stay. I probably will use Reddit occasionally, but that usage will be significantly reduced and limited to desktop use only as I have no interest in installing the official Reddit app. Too many web searches lead back to Reddit posts for me to drop Reddit completely.

Staying for sure.

Lemmy feels so much more exciting than Reddit, finding all these new communities and instances is a lot of fun.

Lemmy is one of the sites that I'm checking out to try and replace Reddit. Unfortunately, so far, I can't find a replacement for my porn needs, but I think that'll help resolve a bigger problem I have.

I'll be staying. Lemmy does what I used Reddit for fine enough, which is aggregate news links about various topics I'm interested in and provide a platform to discuss said topics with like minded people. The community is smaller, nicer, more personable too. Overall I'm enjoying it a lot. Some glitches and bugs to work out but nothing platform breaking. Can't wait to see how Lemmy progresses along! And Kbin, I made an account there today and have been checking it out too. I like Lemmy's UI a bit more, while Kbin has a lot of cool features Lemmy doesn't. We'll see how it shapes out but I'll be here for the ride.

I think I'll stick around. I never posted or commented on reddit before so there's really nothing for me there aside from the small communities I follow. All of which have a decent discord presence now. So anything related to news in those circles I can keep up with there. I am hoping more will move away from reddit after the blackout so we will see.

Lemmy is promising, and I'm here to stay. I haven't nuked my account on Reddit yet. But as others have said, I don't plan on posting much there anymore. Unfortunately, I'm going to be slightly tethered to wherever the smaller, more niche communities that I like end up.

Nah man what Reddit is doing is ridiculous. I'm staying with Lemmy. I just hope the user base can grow.

right now, it's a little hard to say. it depends a lot on increased activity in my interests

Definitely staying here. I haven't erased my post history yet, but I plan to within the week.

I'll definitely stay. I like the idea that it's run by individual people rather than a huge corporation, and I love that the smaller user count gives it a greater sense of community. It made me realize that I don't enjoy using mainstream social media due to how lonely it makes me feel.

Deleted four accounts of 3-11 years. Yup. Bye. I ain't waiting around to see reddit turn into "myspace after tom"

I haven't deleted my reddit account and I'm not sure if I'm going to, but I do not plan on going back or logging back in. Many times I've googled some obscure thing and the only solution to my problem was a 10 year old reddit post. With everyone deleting their accounts all those posts will change to [deleted] and I think that's sad. I've never posted anything that I think would help anyone, but I'm torn between letting my account stay up in the spirit of that and deleting it because fuck reddit.

lemmy.world, beehaw.org, and kbin.social are now in my rotation of daily (okay, hourly) websites. There’s no reason to solely rely on Reddit if there’s a chance to grow these communities.

Staying for sure, I really like it here.

Other than transitioning the subs I moderate to other people, I'm done with active reddit use. I won't turn down search results from there, but I'll be fucked if I give them anything ever again.

Already deleted all my reddit accounts and uninstalled Joey (TPA). I'll be honest and say that I won't completely stop going to reddit, but it will be pretty rare and just as a spectator. I won't be participating anymore. There's just too much information there right now and there are some subs i follow that probably won't migrate here.

There are some things I miss about reddit, I just noticed spoiler tags don't seem to work (at least on Jerboa), and sometimes the image display is way too small. That being said, I'll be sticking around here more because I genuinely think it can be better than reddit in the long run if it picks up enough steam.

Definitely won't be deleting my reddit though, as I'd like to believe some of my comments/posts were actually helpful for niche questions. As an example, A few weeks ago my several-year-old post got a comment describing a solution for my 2012 HP server that wasn't detecting more than 1 core in Proxmox (a server OS). Regardless of how bad reddit is, it saved me in weird problems like that multiple times, so I'm personally against giving up all of that information just for the sake of protest.

Already cleared my comment history and deleted my reddit account. I'm here for good. It's pretty clear to me that federated content and social networks are the future of aggregated news sites like Reddit.

wait, how can we wipe our post history?

In the short term I'll probably still be on both, but in the long run I am probably not going to stick around on reddit with the progressively shitty decisions being made.

Reddit has been the third party apps for me for years, so shutting those down means I’m gone for good.

The lemmyverse is getting better everyday! No reason to go back

Just created an account to check out Lemmy. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept of this, but time will manage, I guess

I'm not using reddit again unless to lurk some info here and there if it is needed to find information I couldn't find on lemmy. I won't participate in the Reddit community anymore even if reddit is backing down. The federated philosophy is just much more alligned with my values. If anything, this whole blackout situation accelerated my innevitable switch.

I'm not sure the communities that I most care about are not very active.

I dunno, man. I sorta like it here. I'm on here and Squabbles, but my one sub is still sitting there for approval. Reddit was like a default itch scratch. Maybe fuckem but idk. We'll see if this kicks off cuz I'll stick around.

Now that I've managed to hook up Mastadon to here and pull tweets from twitter, I think i'm pretty firmly here rather than there. There's one community I'll be sad to not interact with on the regular, but I'll manage.

Not going back. Here to stay for sure. No matter what.

I think there needs to be more communities so I can really leave reddit. Also not for sure about the messaging option on here.

Currently in the process of saving off my saved content. After that, I haven’t decided if I want to delete my account. Will probably stay off mobile, and give Lemmy/kbin/squabbles/tildes/Spyke some time to mature before dropping reddit entirely.

I share the same fear, but I plan to stay I really enjoy lemmy, more than I have reddit in the last year or so. The atmosphere is great, and I feel more of a connection with the people and the community.

I'm planning on staying, interacting here is a lot more fun than Reddit in my opinion.
