Interesting username lol
I use both side by side, I'm hoping for Lemmy to grow, but I know that in the near future Reddit will still continue to be active

I'm tempted to go back... but only to see how are things going, how's the outcome of the exodus and such
Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)
Trying to. Itβs hard because Iβm super lonely and want to connect with people. But itβs still really new here and not a lot of users are here yet.
I made my account yesterday so I can't really say if I will stick with Lemmy in the long term, but for now mostly yes, most of the communities I like are here and Lemmy feels a lot nicer than Reddit. But there are a few communities that are still only on Reddit so I'm using both
It's really not far off, Reddit is on borrowed time and so is twitter and the rest....
Yes
Yes
Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.
As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.
Ditched! Didnβt look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.
Pretty much. I also started using squabbles.io the other day and am enjoying that so I think I'll be replacing Reddit with both.
I'm caught between the two at the moment.
My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.
Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.
Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.
I'm about 80% over to Lemmy myself. There's enough content here that I can doomscroll memes to my heart's content now. Reddit, I still end up on on my PC for a few more niche subreddits. Mobile though, I'm just sticking to wefwef/Lemmy until a good GTK client for Lemmy is available (both good options are still in beta right now).
Who's Lenny? I'm waiting for Sync.
In starting to, but it's more like the old days now where I'll go to my list of cool sites and only if all those run out and I'm bored enough to doomscroll will I visit the R.
As long as my synch for reddit version works I dont see myself leaving reddit.
Yes.
Not yet. Sadly the small communityβs that had me hooked on Reddit in the first place have yet to make it here (HFY my beloved). I also find the current mobile clients a bit jank (in comparison to Apollo) but I hope that situation will get better with time. Anyhow fuq the 1st party Reddit client, I ain't touching that shit. Apollo till it breaks!
I've moved all my normal hobby discussions over here and am only using Reddit as part of my job. (85% of Tech Support is finding someone who had the same one-off issue 8 years ago, and usually the answer is in a Reddit thread)
Yes.
Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.
Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.
