Iβm trying. Itβs 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:
- A kbin account for serious-posting
- This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
- Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
- (Eventually) an RSS reader
- 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)

What's a Reddit?
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

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.
Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.
On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure
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.
Yes, but I also use Squiggy too
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.

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
Yes. This place is growing and feels like home
I am not replacing it.
I have already done it few weeks ago.
Yes, fuck you spez
yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, itβs Lemmy only
Already have a month ago, really like it here!
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 havenβt been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. Iβm done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.
