Asklemmy

Yup, only going to reddit for some niche communities that aren't here. This is my main platform now.

I have moved from 100% Reddit before this month to around 75% Lemmy (via Wefwef) and 25% Reddit. And I see this continually moving towards more Lemmy, less Reddit over time

I replaced Reddit with Lemmy

I'm replacing Reddit with Lenin!! Long live the Working Class!

Yep, they killed boost, I quit.

On the bright side I like it here and don't feel ashamed of myself for supporting assholes every time I log in

I am trying to. Unfortunately, a lot of communities I am part of dont have a big enough presence here.

Completely dumping reddit. I wasn't sure if there would be enough content over here to replace it, but has picked up significantly in the past couple weeks.

Yes, and I will always mourn RIF

I'm adjusting. Work in progress. We don't really have any choice in the matter. Reddit is just too far past the pale. Migrating myself and others. I now have an official reddit app with revanced and the app is still God awful trash. If I'm on pc, I try to avoid reddit links that come in search and only use old.reddit.com with an adblocker and tracking blocking. I'm even trying to do this setup on mobile if I have to use reddit. Reddit is ultimately dead to me with their current CEO and corporate structure, etc.

I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

Yes. After 15 years of reddit I was done with it. Deleted my account. I'm tired of being a product. I miss my subs but oh well.

I do worry about bots and stuff with Lemmy though.

I browsed reddit primarily with RIF for over 13 years, I made GDPR request for my data, and once I received it I edited all my comments to the copy pasta statement about reddit ruining itself, I then got summarily banned the day before RIF went 429. Made an account on lemmy.world. Feels like reddit during the Digg migration, I remember that exodus just as fondly.

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

I wish I didn't have to, but I have to because without Relay there's no Reddit for me.

Y'all lemmy people seem nice, so I plan on staying! :)

Reddit killed Apollo so I now am using wef wef for Lemmy.

Yep. I was on Reddit for more than 10 years and provided content regularly. I would have been OK with paying $5 or so a month to access the site using Sync, but there's no way I'm going to use their crappy app and be inundated by ads while they suck up data from my phone.

IMO Reddit has lost a big stream of easy income from people like me who would have been long-term subscribers. Instead the BS they've pulled in the last couple of months have pushed me to delete all my posts and comments and leave the site completely.

Yeah, I'm coming from RIF. The official reddit app is the liverwurst and it seems like the reddit ceo is a jerk.

No, I've replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

I've always just enjoyed having drinks with Lenny regardless of the social media apps I used. He is a pretty good guy, doesn't judge much which is great for conversations.

Funny enough, while having a few duffs with Lenny, we got to discussing reddits recent changes to 3rd party APIs and we both agreed it was going to be a bad discision long term. So Lenny started talking about Lemmy, and said I should check it out. I did once my reddit 3rd party app didn't work. So it was actually Lenny that converted me to Lemmy. He's a swell guy.

I'm replacing reddit with my cousin Lenny

Yes and I hope that the user engagement increases with time so that there is new content and info, because I used reddit for tech and other news, if lemmy does that I'm more than happy to stay here.

Yes as soon as rif died reddit died for me.

Subjectively it's getting exponentially more active every single day. Thats very promissing. I hope Meta does not kill the fediverse.

For now I do not have any problems with redundant communites. Time will tell how things scale up.

Lenny? I'm on team Squiggy.

Yes, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

Yep, already deleted my 14yo Reddit acct and made the switch. Really glad I did :)

Yes and no. My daily scrolling habit has been moved to lemmy and I haven’t really felt any loss.

However, and this is a big caveat: Reddit remains a huge source of institutional knowledge. Half a dozen times weekly I’ll look something up and the most relevant answer/discussion will be from Reddit. As I understand it, lemmy will never fulfill this need, because it’s not scraped the same way Reddit is? Or perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the way federation works. If that’s true, it’s a huge blow to the long-term use of lemmy v. Reddit.

Trying, but the userbase of a lot of the smaller communities I follow on reddit (especially the ones that aren't tech related) probably won't switch in the immediate future.

I'd like to but the users and content are just not here yet. A lot of my interest don't have communities set up or are inactive so far...

I am, and I've noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.

I'll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.

As much as I'm excited about Lemmy - the barriers I'm finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.

Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.

I logged out of my Reddit account on June 15 and have only been back following direct links. Lemmy seems so much more alive than Reddit currently and hopefully decentralised platforms will continue to become more popular.

I’ve already replaced it with Lemmy. I simply have my Reddit account now to check on it to make sure my content remains deleted.

The moment that boost stopped working I moved to Lemmy.

who the fuck is lenny?

Haven’t been on Reddit at all since Apollo shut down. Lemmy is my new home!

So far yes. Almost any time I attempt to use reddit everything is down because of the crackdown. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the api changes anyway and no one here tells anyone to "Google it" with any questions. People actually respond in kind from what I've seen

Yep, reddit killed reddit.

I'll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.

So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.

Yep, slowly gonna get rid of reddit.....No more Reddit Sync....no more reddit

I stopped using reddit on the 9th of June. There were 1.21k total users on .world. At the time there were around the same number on beehaw, and they were still federated. There were 1.6k total users on .ml and no other federated instances had more than a few hundred total users. There were maybe a dozen total communities with anything resembling daily posts. I was willing to try to drop reddit at this point and started posting a bunch hoping it would grow. I claim no credit, and and no impact whatsoever. I'm just thrilled you are all here, and to those that are just migrating, this place is better than reddit ever was. Posting about reddit is just a part of the breakup process, but you'll move on quickly.

You are still the core community here. Don't wait for someone else to start posting. This place will continue to grow with or without you. Your core interests and niche communities can grow even faster than they have so far, the only person holding you back is you. Post about stuff as much as possible. Ask questions, vote, and be positive. It really makes a difference. This place is all about you, us, and our community, so share and be a part of this thing!
