Asklemmy

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

Every so often I'll glance at r/politics or r/worldnews since following the news was a big part of how I used reddit and Lemmy doesn't quite have the volume to replace it for that function yet. But as time goes on I'm finding Mastodon and Post to be almost just as good for news so I expect to cut out reddit completely before long. The vibe and overall feel is a breath of fresh air, I'm really liking it!

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is “almost” as good as Sync for Reddit was.

For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.

The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!

What's a Reddit?

I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.

As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

no doubt. fuck reddit

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

I gave Lemmy a shot after the API debacle on reddit. First week was bumpy with lots of timeouts and servers that weren't able to handle all the new users from reddit.

It quickly improved. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account.

Already done.

While I technically did replace Reddit with Lemmy—I edited all my posts and comments in protests of the API changes and Reddit's disgusting behaviour—I don't use Lemmy in the same way I used Reddit. Most of my activities on Reddit were in niche subreddits that don't have an active community here, so on Lemmy I just hangout in the popular communities with much lower levels of engagement. I also spend a lot less time here than I used to on Reddit, which is both a good thing and a bad thing...

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.

Lenny?

Not by itself, no.

My current replacements for reddit are:

1. A kbin account for serious-posting
2. This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
3. Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
4. (Eventually) an RSS reader
5. Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results

I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

Yup.

What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good

I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted or ignored, but I am not replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I'm using them both, except on my phone. There, I no longer use Reddit due to the need for the official app.

Lemmy has done a great job in a short time and it has a lot of awesome energy, but it doesn't have the user base to support interesting discussions in niche subjects that I care about, or be a source of information in those. I doubt it ever will, although I'm rooting for it.

If I scroll through Lemmy in my subs or in c/all, I see three things:

• Memes
• Anti-Reddit brigading
• Shitposts

I love me some memes, and Lemmy is actually better than Reddit right now for those, but if I want information, I can't get it on Lemmy. I might be able to get tech news, but I have RSS / Hacker News / Slashdot for that.

As an example, I'm switching from Evernote to Obsidian for note-taking and it's a pain in the ass. Reddit has an 80k user subreddit for Obsidian, where within 10 minutes, somebody solved my problem. That kind of thing is never going to happen on Lemmy.

Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.
