No Stupid Questions

I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

i have not been back since the blackout started.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

Fuck /u/spez

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

Fuck u/spez

I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.

I haven't been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won't be adding to their content or participating.

I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.

I've basically made the switch 100%, and I'm finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I've posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit... honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven't used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.

On lemmy or kbin I try to be more active to increase the user engagement 😎

I deleted everything Reddit related and haven't been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

I'm enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I'm enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it's coming (RIF user) but now it's a much less bitter pill to swallow.

I haven't touched Reddit since June 11th, never going back.

I had been using RiF for over 10 years.

One day I used to browse Reddit. Basically next day I switched to Lemmy / Kbin.
I only arrive to reddit when the search engine gives me what I'm looking for over there. No regrets. It is valuable info that deserved to be consumed. When I make effort to create valuable info I now create it in federated media.

I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I'm constantly making a conscious effort to avoid going back to reddit. It's not been easy, as it was my most used app maybe after youtube, but I've succeed so far. Last december I deleted my twitter account I created back in 2009. It hurt a bit, but I survived and found a nice place on a Mastodon instance. My reddit account is 11 years old, and I'll be deleting it too, soon. It'll hurt too, I know, but I'll survive too. Lemmy is my new home.

I am proud of myself! Haven't touch reddit since the 11th! I am free! Ahahahahaha! Ahem. For real though It feels good to break the habit. Course I replaced one addiction. With another by landing over here. Oh well. That is how it goes I suppose.

Since when I registered here I've been visiting lemmy more than reddit, although I go there from time to time to follow the shitshow as it's entertaining.

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I delted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a reddit link I access it throigh the way back machine.

Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

Had my reddit account (rif) for 10 years. Slowly migrating (this is my first comment) and so far think it has lotsa potential.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

Only Lemmy for me now.

Just joined today and getting to know how it works. 🤞

I'm trying but it's pretty low quality stuff here

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

Me! I haven't used Reddit in 2 weeks and I don't intend to leave the Fediverse anytine soon.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

I'm only using Reddit for /r/soccer at the moment as the Fedi versions aren't very active unfortunately. But if they become more active or Reddit get rid of old Reddit then I'll be done completely.

My only issue with Lemmy at the moment is every other post is a out Reddit to the point I might aswell be on Reddit... Understandable why but would be nice to see other content

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy
