Who is Lenny?
Yes, as should everyone.
I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).
Iβm trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isnβt as straight forward as Reddit was.
Iβll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.
The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.
I'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.
I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O
Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.
Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.
I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.
No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.
just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.
Im so happy I found this place
Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used βnewβ Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.
Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.
I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.
Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.
But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove π€
I've mostly moved here, though some of my favorite subs dont have an equivalent community here as of now and I'm a bit bummed about losing them.
Yeah, just got a temp ban for apparently wrongfully reporting a post. Fuck that place
I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.
Yep
So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)
Mostly.
All I'm on Reddit for now is to watch it burn and to participate in the one subreddit I truly care about on there. I'm not participating in anything else on there at all.
yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over
I am 100%. Sadly i donβt think most Reddit users will until lemmy becomes easier to use and gets a functioning IOS app.
