No Stupid Questions

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

Haven't been on reddit since this started. Deleted my account and wont be back

It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.

I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone an go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

Just joined Lemmy myself. Used a script to wipe all my content from 5 accounts. Plan to delete in July.

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

I haven't been on Reddit since the blackout. Not sure if I'm going back

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.

There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.

I'm lost atm and I'm trying to figure out KBIN. A lot of time I have lags and stuff but the community seems to be awesome. I don't use Reddit anymore because it is full of spam and noise and memes now. I'm missing that there is one place but I've accepted that times change. I was born in 1981. I have seen a lot of stuff come and go. I miss the old Battle.net (Diablo 2). I miss Steam being the only PC gaming platform and every friend was just on Steam (and maybe Battle.net). I miss ICQ. And IRC. I miss 40 friends being on one teamspeak. I miss some really great forums. Times change.

i was on reddit for 10 years. i've just started taking up lemmy and the 'fediverse'. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it's going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i'd otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. 'fediverse' is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.

Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.

I've replaced the spot where Reddit Sync has been for like 10 years with a shortcut to Kbin. That said, I find myself browsing less as there's less content in the meantime. I try avoiding going to Reddit on my computer unless there's literally no other matching Google searches.

I hope we eventually get a lot of that random historical context and information reposted at some point onto any Lemmy instance.
