Im using this ios app Memmy. It reminds me so much of Apollo. Now just need to give some so all the communities switch to lemmy. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
Mostly, yeah.

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but itβs quickly getting better.
Havenβt logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.
Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.
That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.
Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.
I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.
Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. Lenny is my new best friend.
I left Reddit during the blackout and havenβt looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!
I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.
redwhat ?
All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion thatβs when I dip into Reddit.
I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.
Yes
Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader
Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.
Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc
Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them
I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?
I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.
Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.
I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.
Iβm fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.
I made an account a few days ago. Iβm actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.
I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.

So far yep! Why not?
Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?
Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
This is my first Lemmy comment ever!
Yep, other than ending up at Reddit because I'm searching for something, which I'll call passive use. My active use of posting and commenting is entirely on Lemmy
Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.
Yes. Mostly because I got permabanned from Reddit about a year ago for making offensive jokes and trying to appeal a sub ban by using an alt account. Given what's happening now on Reddit, it seems I didn't lose much.
However, the fact that this site clearly states on its rules that it's not a free speech space means that it will never ever be as good as Reddit on its early years.
