I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

i have not been back since the blackout started.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

Fuck /u/spez

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

Fuck u/spez

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

I'm enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I'm enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it's coming (RIF user) but now it's a much less bitter pill to swallow.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I deleted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a Reddit link I access it through the way back machine.

Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.

There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.

Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.

I'm constantly making a conscious effort to avoid going back to reddit. It's not been easy, as it was my most used app maybe after youtube, but I've succeed so far. Last december I deleted my twitter account I created back in 2009. It hurt a bit, but I survived and found a nice place on a Mastodon instance. My reddit account is 11 years old, and I'll be deleting it too, soon. It'll hurt too, I know, but I'll survive too. Lemmy is my new home.

I've abandoned Reddit ever since a couple days before the blackout and it's been really nice. It feels refreshing to be part of what seems to be an upcoming community.

I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.

I haven't been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won't be adding to their content or participating.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

I haven't touched Reddit since June 11th, never going back.

I had been using RiF for over 10 years.

I am proud of myself! Haven't touch reddit since the 11th! I am free! Ahahahahaha! Ahem. For real though It feels good to break the habit. Course I replaced one addiction. With another by landing over here. Oh well. That is how it goes I suppose.

I've basically made the switch 100%, and I'm finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I've posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit... honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

I deleted everything Reddit related and haven't been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

On lemmy or kbin I try to be more active to increase the user engagement 😎

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

I have almost completely stopped using Reddit (and I was a huge Redditor for about 12 years). Since it was first released as a beta, I have only used Apollo. With that option soon gone, I decided it was just best to cut Reddit ties and switch over. Lemmy is not Reddit (yet), but I think once there are some decent third-party apps, it definitely has serious potential.

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

EDIT: I'm now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I've never used Apollo though so I'm getting still getting used to it, but I like it!

I can't seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though... So I here am back on Jerboa 😅

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

One day I used to browse Reddit. Basically next day I switched to Lemmy / Kbin.
I only arrive to reddit when the search engine gives me what I'm looking for over there. No regrets. It is valuable info that deserved to be consumed. When I make effort to create valuable info I now create it in federated media.

7 days no Reddit.

Pretty much done with reddit for the time being if not for ever. Been on Lemmy as a filler for my fix.

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. More specifically the jerboa app on Android.

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.

That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

Only Lemmy for me now.

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.

That's... why I'm here.

I still lurk on Reddit because there's not enough content on here to keep me satisfied. Also I'm finding it hard to find stuff I like, I wish the interface was more similar to old Reddit.

The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:

1. shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
2. check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.

For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.

Since when I registered here I've been visiting lemmy more than reddit, although I go there from time to time to follow the shitshow as it's entertaining.

Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.

I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.

I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven't used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.

I’m trying to! Unfortunately I’m subbed to quite a few niche communities that haven’t quite gained traction over here yet and I don’t want to be the sole poster.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

I used to browse Reddit for at least an hour a day. Now I never go there but I go on Lemmy for maybe 10 minutes. Reddit was a content fire hose so there's a bit of an adjustment period to the slower pace here.

I haven't gone and browsed Reddit since the 12th (typically I read it via the Infinity app) - and I don't intend to. Lemmy is still ramping up, obviously, but every day there is more and more content on Lemmy.

In fairly short order, once I left Twitter for Mastodon, I became far more active than I ever had been on the birdsite. And already, I've found there is nothing on reddit that I was following that I can't find with Lemmy. I suspect I'll become a lot more involved here over time.

It's not that the fediverse is a good replacement for twatter, Reddit, Facebook, etc...it's what we all should have been doing all along. It's like having old school usenet back.

Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.

Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.

Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.

Been using lemmy full time, just got one reddit sub I check once a day because its a niche sub for support for a fairly dead game and I need to re-direct people to the discord so they can actually get their questions answered.

I only use reddit through Relay third party app, once it is gone, I cannot use reddit anymore, reddit without it is so bad that it is same to jump to Lemmy. So I am adjusting now and just using Lemmy/Jerboa.

Yes, since yesterday I replaced Sync Pro on my screen with Jerboa, so I click it dozens of times per day. Today I haven't go on Reddit once.

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

i'm finding i spend more time on other sites i neglected over the years, like gamefaqs and YouTube

but i'm loving this - i'm all over lemmy, kbin, mastodon on my phone

I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.

Me! I haven't used Reddit in 2 weeks and I don't intend to leave the Fediverse anytine soon.

I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!

Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.

I just joined Lemmy, but it seems to be a solid replacement for Reddit, with a similar layout and less ads. Plus not likely to have corrupt admins so I'm in.

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

Had my reddit account (rif) for 10 years. Slowly migrating (this is my first comment) and so far think it has lotsa potential.

Haven't been on reddit since this started. Deleted my account and wont be back

I only use Lemmy now as a daily app, I just use Reddit as a glorified backlog (to search for some tech problem, or some product buying recommendation). For better or worse, there is a lot of useful information in there, but I won't actively engage with the website anymore.

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

Just joined Lemmy myself. Used a script to wipe all my content from 5 accounts. Plan to delete in July.

It won't be the same, but I like the idea of it a lot more than Reddit right now. Some questions for everyone...

**5-10 years down the road, what's to stop another Digg-Reddit-exodus from happening? As users, what can we do to keep this community prosperous, useful, and "good"? **

I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.

This is my first comment on Lemmy. So far I've just been lurking to get used to how it works... but I've quit reddit completely, so the answer is yes.

I'm only using Reddit for /r/soccer at the moment as the Fedi versions aren't very active unfortunately. But if they become more active or Reddit get rid of old Reddit then I'll be done completely.

My only issue with Lemmy at the moment is every other post is a out Reddit to the point I might aswell be on Reddit... Understandable why but would be nice to see other content

I'm trying but it's pretty low quality stuff here

I already have 10 lemmy accounts and like 2k compounded points in 12 days!! I have ruined my sleep schedule because I stay on Lemmy till like 8 am! I have procrastinated my well paying job to get more hours into this and even developed plug-ins for lemmy when I could've been developing shit for my job! Yes, I've been using Lemmy more than Reddit. 😭😔

I haven't been on Reddit since the blackout. Not sure if I'm going back

Loading this page took 10 seconds. This is too slow right now to function as a replacement for Reddit. Also, I HAVE to have the “hide” feature. I always hide posts after I have mentally processed them. That way my feed is always fresh. Without that feature, I am constantly seeing the same stuff over and over, which I hate.

Using lemmy most of the time since the blackout. Kinda hard not to feel guilty now when I scrolled aimlessly on reddit. Now I only go there to find specific things. But ngl really miss having moment of discovery when I stumbled upon something while I browse reddit, since the amount of content here is limited.

Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.

Quit reddit entirely after the blackout. Was kind of a wake up call for me. Not to go way over the top but wanna move away entirely from the Zuckerberg empire(WhatsApp, Facebook & Instagram), Twitter and even LinkedIn(if this is even possible?). Baby steps.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

Im 90 % Lemmy and 10% Reddit right now. But i think that i soon will be 100% Lemmy. Only thing that stopping me from making the switch totally is some minor things about the mobile apps for Lemmy.

I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.

After signing up here I deleted my Reddit account. So yea :) It's really nice here, I hope it stays this way.

I'm on mastodon and lemmy more than Reddit. Didnt know about either three weeks ago

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

Used Reddit everyday. Left last week. Lemmy everyday. Slowly subscribing to be subs as they appear. I get confused sometimes with the changes (subscribing, federation). The apps aren't as feature rich as the well matured 3rd party apps I was used to (losing my place when I nav away from app, can't find a post I was half way through reading. But I'm Happy. Oh yeah. I comment on Lemmy. Never really did that on Reddit.

I guess it's like I get to grow with the community, rather than crashing the party.

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.

I started on Lemmy a few days ago and I've been on Reddit twice so far, decreasing my usage as I use Lemmy more. Mostly to re-familiarize which subreddits I used to visit the most to see if Lemmy has a community for that. No matter what, I'm deleting everything July 1st so I won't be going on after that.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.

This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.

Thanks for curing my addiction spez!

i was on reddit for 10 years. i've just started taking up lemmy and the 'fediverse'. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it's going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i'd otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. 'fediverse' is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.

I purposely have started spending more time on Lemmy. After the recent drama I decided that I didn’t want to give Reddit any more of my time and have stopped using the site completely. Not sure Lemmy will be the successor, but its not to bad although mobile ui is worse than the reddit app.

i only use lemmy rn so... i spend more time on lemmy.

Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.

Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/

I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

I've got kbin installed as a PWA in the same spot that I had Sync for Reddit. That takes care of the muscle memory thing. The only reason I look at Reddit these days is to see how the shitshow is going.

I've spent FAR more time on kbin than I have reddit since the blackouts. I know the Relay app will be gone at the end of the month, so I figured I'd get a jump on trying to get used to another platform. I refuse to be forcefed ads, so there is no other option for me with reddit as a mobile user.

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

I quit Reddit entirely and will not go back now I found lemmy. Took a little learning circle but I like it here

Just joined today and getting to know how it works. 🤞

I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.

yes, I deleted all my reddit accounts and have been trying to go cold turkey. Instead Ive been using gaming blogs (RockPaperShotgun), Ground.news, and Lemmy to replace it. its not 1:1 but its been working so far. oh, and a bunch of discords for random memes lol

My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.

I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.

Me, I stopped browsing reddit actively unless trying to find an answer on Google.

IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.

I've 100% abandoned reddit. The site outlived itself and it's beyond time for something new. I left Digg several weeks before it collapsed and it sure fells similar to reddit today. It just isn't worth visiting and hasn't been for years now.

Since I deleted my reddit account, yes.

I haven't cut Reddit out completely, as much as I dislike the organisation, I did enjoy the community and it'll still be a huge source of information for a while yet. But once RIF stops working I won't be using my phone anymore, just my PC. Lemmy is growing and it's fun to witness it

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.

I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.

Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

I prefer the term immigrant now.

I haven't opened reddit since the blackout began last Monday. I used to browse it for hours a day.

I'm just getting used to it and adapting, but I'm liking it.

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads

Short answer: Yes!

When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).

So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.

When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.

I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

You can also browse Lemmy aimlessly on your phone. The app is called "Jerboa for Lemmy". And yes, I just switched too. So far I like Lemmy, I see myself migrating here permanently.

I was, then I wasn't, but only because my Reddit is curated with over a decade of finding the subs I like.

However, I'm still slowly trying to find and curate my Lemmy experience, which I expect will pickup even more steam once 3rd Party API's get shut down the end of this month.

It's not even just a matter of principle, the Reddit official app is terrible, which is almost funny since I loved AlienBlue.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.

Not yet. I'm using the Lemmy app, but it's not very well finished at the moment. I understand that this is to be expected given that it's in test flight. But that's the only factor limiting me right now.

If i had Apollo for Lemmy, I'd have quit reddit entirely.

Last week no, this week yes. The learning* curve is steep compared to reddit. I still haven't taken the time to learn enough.

I've not been back to reddit once since I created my Lemmy account. I've googled some things which have only really yielded reddit links, however instead of going to reddit to get the answer, I've just asked my question on Lemmy.

I'm fully onto Lemmy from Reddit now. I'm spending a lot more time here. Quality of posts is better and more interesting. This is where the smart people go.

Also Lemmy is greatly smaller and has a strong community feel. Lemmy is going to grow fast after Reddit kills off mobile apps, but hopefully it can retain the community feel.

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.

I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn't seem to care about the protest.

For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that's something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren't active enough yet to stay up to date.

I am

This is my first message.

Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.

Been lurking for a few days and finally decided to take the plunge. I actually prefer the design/UI of this site more than Reddit. Nice and clean.

I think the exodus thus far has been great. Was on Reddit for 12 years so it's a bittersweet feeling but the fact that the CEO has no qualms about catering to the users is pretty telling. Hope to engage in/foster some interesting discussions on here.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

I quit reddit. It feels nice. Lemmy feels less toxic.

I’m enjoying it more than I thought

Deleted my Reddit and not going back to it.

I’ve made the switch permanently. For apps you could try out Memmy or Mlem on the test flight app. Personally I’m using Memmy and I’m loving the swipe to upvote comments feature!

On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

Heavy Reddit user here. Joined Lemmy today. I like what I'm seeing when accessing Lemmy through a desktop browser but the mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired. Nonetheless, I'm excited to be here and look forward to rapid improvements as new users keep joining.

The only time I go to back is when I ask something on Google and the only way to get an answer is to go to Reddit. Beyond that Lemmy is my new r/all.

Yes. Since the blackout I've only been on Reddit briefly to find alternative ways of reaching the communities I was a part of and to delete my accounts and comments.

I for sure am! As someone who craves a sense of novelty, all the new instances and communities are awesome. My posts actually have an impact again and don't get automatically downvoted by some bot.

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

Been a reddit user for 7 years, but since the blackout I haven't open reddit a single time.

I'm done with reddit, deleted my 10 year old account and app.

I am definitely more active here. Was more of a lurker on reddit

Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do

The only things I've been back to reddit for is subreddit settings and wording I wanted for my new communities on Lemmy :)

obligatory FUCK spez

I deleted my reddit account and app after fucking spez ridiculed the blackout. Since then I've been on a discovery tour to fill the void. I've still caught myself going to reddit on desktop on occasion, but without an account reddit is truly garbage.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

Reddit is dead... let it remain that way I'm here now, hope to see this site do it big and become a better place FOR ALL

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the current shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.

Same. Here to support the switch and growth. I’ll miss Reddit but current leadership clearly doesn’t care they are burning the site to the ground. Time for a change! Lemmy looks pretty promising so far.

Ramping up the Lemmy usage. Once RIF goes down I'll be here for good.

Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.

This is the first post on my new account 👍

I'm lost atm and I'm trying to figure out KBIN. A lot of time I have lags and stuff but the community seems to be awesome. I don't use Reddit anymore because it is full of spam and noise and memes now. I'm missing that there is one place but I've accepted that times change. I was born in 1981. I have seen a lot of stuff come and go. I miss the old Battle.net (Diablo 2). I miss Steam being the only PC gaming platform and every friend was just on Steam (and maybe Battle.net). I miss ICQ. And IRC. I miss 40 friends being on one teamspeak. I miss some really great forums. Times change.

I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.

I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it's hard to break the habit, lol.

Me!

I'm still exploring here, but it's already an improvement. Lots less drivel and bots, and none of the icky feeling I get when I'm at Steve Huffman's place. I've eliminated 95% of my casual surfing from Reddit, leaving nothing but a few essential subReddits with info unavailable elsewhere. And I'm done participating there.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

Aside from referring to a few technical threads on reddit for projects, I've found myself enjoying lemmy a lot more from a content diversity angle. The ability to roam between instances also means a greater chance of finding one's people too.

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

Yes. Rotating between Lemmy & Kbin.

Actually getting work done during the day also.

Reddit on Mobile is completely dead to me and I will only use it on my desktop for specific searches if the info is not available elsewhere (last resort).

0.1% of the time wil be spend on Reddit, with an ad blocker of course.

Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.

Probably not going back either.

Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.

I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.

Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

I deleted my reddit account, but I still skim reddit as a lurker for a handful of specific subreddits. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, I can slowly phase out the niche subreddit activity entirely. But I no longer spend my whole break at work doomscrolling.

Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.

I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.

I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!

I'm on reddit some, but less and less.

this is my first time here, imma quit Reddit on July 1st if nothing changes, might even delete my account

I haven't touched Reddit since the blackout began and I don't think I'm going to do it again. Maybe one more time just to delete my account.

Slowly learning the INS and outs of it. Currently hybrid reddit and now Lemmy. Once my reddit app stops working I'll stop visiting the site.

As soon as I found couple of the most valuable (for me) communities here, I was done with reddit

Most of my favorite subs are irreversibly affected by protestors. Going there, I just see a feed of filler content among meme posts. I don't believe reddit has anything to offer me anymore, and I'm no longer interested in interacting on the company's platform.

Honestly, seeing how many people signed up on these federated services and the amount of people sharing similar viewpoints over this controversy is refreshing. We stuck with reddit for too long, for no good reason other than a lack of competition, and I'm excited to see what changes this can bring!

I just made a fresh new account here. Still trying to find my way around here. Will keep my reddit account for a little bit but just like with Instagram, the ads just became too annoying for me.

I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously

I'm very much treating Lemmy like the old BB forums days (I know they are still around but most people just made subreddits for those type of communities). Its kinda fun seeing small communities spark up, and trying to help them grow.

I have used reddit, but so far its mainly been to check my old post history and such, try to mirror some of the communities I was following there.

I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

I'll stop reddit on my phone entirely when rif dies and I'll only do the occasional checking of a couple of subs on old.reddit after that. Right now I'm there just long enough to remember how bad it has gotten and then I come back here for immediate relief.

I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.

Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.

Right now only because I'm trying to get a community off the ground and running so I can enjoy the same content I did before but it's a slow process. I've got followers but no posts really. There's another community I'd like to make but I can't handle trying to build up two communities so I'll just have to wait for someone else to get the idea.

But so far Lemmy, because it's not so widely traveled feels newer and nicer than Reddit. I had been taking pretty long breaks from reddit, not really feeling I was missing anything. I imagine I'll get to the same point here but one thing Lemmy has in it's favor is the ability to block communities so they don't come up on my feed. That's what sucked about Reddit for me, something would always come across my feed to depress me. So I'm blocking a lot of communities so this place stays a nice place to visit for me.

I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.

I just got here but I plan to. I don't like the direction Reddit is going at all. It's also overrun with OF bots which is annoying.

I switched off reddit during the blackout and haven't really missed it (uninstalled from phone but not tablet yet), does appear in some searches. I heard the CeO interview on NPR over the weekend, so looking to delete my comments from most subs (some ask not to so will respect that) before deleting accounts.

World news and a finance subs I liked to contribute to but enjoying the break. Coding and Crafts I browse for ideas but sure something will appear eventually or not.

I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.

Shreddit-ed my accounts, so definitely here more often now

Yes.

I check back in periodically, but I'm making an effort to participate on here as much as possible. Loving it so far. Yeah, there are still a few kinks to be worked out, but overall the transition has been seemless to me.

The biggest issue I have come across is trying to wrap my head around instances and how to browse what where.

I dowloaded Jerboa and started on lemmy.world, and when I found out about all the others instances and different sites to browse and subscribe to.

Im sure with some more time, I'll get a handle on it.

I only go on Reddit for gaming leaks since here there's not a lot of great leaks

I've completely moved over but I miss it. It was so established. I've been drawn to game walk-throughs and nude celeb searches but I've fought it off.

Fuck spez

I'm happier on Lemmy but I have to remind myself to come here. I need to explore more. I haven't visited kbin yet. But I just finished work and I want to relax and my reddit subs aren't federated, or they are here but there are under a dozen people lurking so I end up on reddit first.

Seems like a lot of people replying to this post have mostly moved to lemmy.

I haven't dropped reddit completely, but I'm mainly on Lemmy. There are still some subs I occasionally visit on Reddit, including one I'm moderator for, but I did most of my reading in Baconreader at the end of the day. That closure reading is now Lemmy only.

I deleted all my content and my Reddit accounts, I only use lemmy and kbin for discussions, now. I think I've visited Reddit a couple times from search engine results over the past couple of days, but my page visitation has dropped by a factor of at-least 100.

Nothing is good on reddit right now other than watching it burn, of course people would be on here where the contents are.

I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.

For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.

This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.

I’m definitely on Lemmy much more. I still occasionally hit Reddit, but when I do, it’s usually because there’s a post on Lemmy calling out Reddit protest stuff. I’ll hop over and show some support.

Otherwise, I’m here for the duration.

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

I've been on 99% Kbin. I think I've only gone back to Reddit when I searched something and the answer is still on Reddit.

Not yet.. none of my favorite communities made it over yet.

Just signed up and still exploring. Hopefully I will spend more time on here than Reddit though.

Definitely spending more time here but as the lemmyverse (infact the whole fediverse) grows the duplication of communities among instances would be a headache and might lead to fragmentation. But since being able to federate is the sole reason most of us are here, what if we get a tab or option so an instance can combine all the posts of duplicate named communities with every possible instance it can federate with and show it in one place? I mean yes there might be challenges to achieve that but why not! @[email protected] ??

I haven't looked at Reddit since joining Lemmy on the 12th. I do miss some of the more niche subreddits, but hoping they'll eventually make an appearance here. :)

I quit reddit years ago, but joined lemmy after learning about the drama, just out of curiosity... so, yes.

The Lemmy software is kind of bad at the moment, has a lot of usability issues and bugs, and clearly wasn't "ready" for this type of massive influx of users.

...but, it's far from unusable. The content I've seen so far is pretty good (if sparse). The quality of discussions is definitely better than what I remember from reddit. I just hope the issues get fixed so that less techy users can migrate without frustrations, and we can hopefully see more varied discussions in the lemmyverse.

I jumped to lemmy the day of or the day before the blackout began, and moved to Kbin shortly after. Since then, I think I tapped into Reddit a total of 5-or-so times to check out solutions to web searches without bothering to log in. Three of of those times just led to a private subreddit, so I just backed out and looked elsewhere.

For my usual news binge, Kbin (& Lemmy), has more than sufficed. The fediverse has quickly made abandoning reddit pretty trivial for me.

Planning to delete my reddit account before the 30th. Haven't touched reddit in a week.

It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.

I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.

My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.

I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.

I'd still rather be here than there.

Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.

The challenge is that Reddit isn't just one community, it's a collection of lots of communities.

For stuff like random tech news and commentary, I'm already 100% happy with Lemmy. You don't need a huge community for people to post reviews of the latest gadgets and discuss them.

While I'm still boycotting Reddit, what I miss the most is some of the smaller communities, the ones that are only possible when you have millions of total users. Stuff like hyperlocal subreddits (there's not just one for my city, there's one for my NEIGHBORHOOD within my city), subreddits specifically for every one of my favorite TV shows, authors, and musicians, and subreddits for more niche topics I'm into like music theory or 3-D printing.

I'm trying to spend time on Lemmy hoping to build up the critical mass there. I'm starting with more mainstream topics that are likely to grow and attract a following, but what I'm really hoping for are the more niche ones.

Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.

I'm new here, but I probably spend about 80% of my time on kbin. I'm using Boost for Reddit, but once that stops working I'll fully switch over.

I've just deleted my reddit account! :-)

I've spent all my time between Lemmy and kbin.

It's been a lot of fun, and while I know it's a little fractured, it's been giving me a really great bit of variety

Joined today and I'm loving it so far. Hopefully it is herento stay.

I just moved over from kbin.social from another Lemmy instance. I feel like the Lemmy I was on I wasn't reveiving all the comments and upvotes on my posts vs on Kbin social.

As of today I have decided not to give Reddit any traffic. I don't look at it and I am very careful about clicking on any links directing me to it. I know there are so many discussions on Reddit that are related to my Google searches, it's so damn hard but I am sticking to my guns.

Kbin/Lemmy has been far supperior in everyway, despite it having less users, I feel like it's for the best.

I still occasionally lurk on reddit, just a few obscure subs like r/fedora. Lemmy is the first social platform I've actually commented on.

Honestly I wasn't to interested in the whole "movement" against the API changes. Being a nerd, the underlying tech behind activitypub is what got me interested.

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocker - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

Oh definitely

I’m spending the majority of my time here. There are some subs connected to my job that I still visit but that’s at most once a day in a weekday. I feel no need to browse Reddit.

I will until I run out of content here.

I'm digging it thus far, honestly the only issue is the content. But that's getting better as more and more users start using Lemmy.

About a week since i read or posted on Reddit.

Reading Christian's rebuttal was genuinely shocking to me and I decided I didn't want to continue supporting Reddit's management by being associated with it.

I demodded myself (sole moderator of a 13 year old sub, plus another two smaller ones), deleted all my many thousands of posts and comments and stopped using it.

I'm planning on deleting my 11 year user with a lot of karma on the 1st to join the protest then (I need to revisit to check that's still happening)

Let's look at what Snoosite has been historically good at.

• propagating web content
• providing a space for derivative communities of content

The web content is already all over the place and takes no more than a dedicated core moderation team to begin driving discussion. The latter - content communities - is what really made Snoosite exceptional, and what drove that engagement was principally the aggregation aspect in the beginning combined with a distaste for the alternatives.

Lemmy is modeled very closely after Snoosite, obviously, and shares the same potential for link aggregation. The community building is really an organic function, and if we're able to ride the wave, we may not continue to blast into the stratosphere but arriving at a decent plateau to provide a viable federated alternative is a noble and lofty goal.

The secret sauce, if the Lemmy devs implement features creatively, is ActivityPub. Cross pollinating conversations and communities between microblogging, distributed image sharing and tagging, and link aggregation communities of content using built-in features of hashtags and boosting is ... well, it's game-changing, and it gives me tingles to think about how well it COULD be done.

I'm not really wasting any time on Snoosite anymore other than for archaeological purposes. Now, it's only been a few days, so I can only speak from my own history - when I made a decision to drop Birdsite like a hot rock, I did so completely and deleted my account. I'm a little less inclined to be as drastic with Snoosite because of historical significance relating directly to technical interests of mine. But as time passes and the Fediverse grows, and Lemmy (or another technology) matures into the space, I think the relevance of Snoosite will fade like so many farts in the wind before it.

Time will tell honestly, i hope we get something else working, because i get a deep pit in my stomach everytime i hear of the shit the reddit admins are pulling rn.

Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.

I'm on kbin but I've barely been on reddit at all since I switched. I'm enjoying watching the fediverse grow and begin to mature into the begining of a real threat to major social media monsters like reddit, twitter, Facebook, and others.

I've engaged here more than I ever did on Reddit

I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.

Fresh off making a new account. Reddit, as much as we love it, will slowly be dying if this sort of thing keeps up. I am currently looking for new alternatives, just like dem settlers in the oregon trail.

I could die, lose my shit wagon, or get some good 'ol Dysentery, but I gotta try lookin'.

I haven't been back to Reddit since Monday last week

I haven't contributed to anything on Reddit since the blackout, and have tweaked my bookmarks/phone habits to favor Lemmy now. Eventually, I will delete my account, but I am part of a few threads and specific communities that I still want to be notified about, so that won't happen right away.

It's actually nice to start with a clean slate, and I'd much rather support Lemmy than some morally bankrupt, anti-community, "sometimes good, but mostly garbage" platform. LOL

What will really be a game changer is if/when search engines or a browser plugin comes out that will link to Lemmy instead of Reddit for search results.

I don't use Reddit anymore. I put time into learning Lemmy, and Kbin more specifically, and have really started to settle in and enjoy it. Robust communities are active and growing quickly. Feels a lot like when I first switched from Digg and Reddit felt like really grassroots and special place. It has been going down hill for years and became just a constant source for fighting and baffling opinions, and this place has just been really refreshing by comparison.

I’m currently only using Reddit for very niche things that don’t have a place on Lemmy/Kbin at the moment. I’m probably gonna fully transition if those communities ever end up in the fediverse.

Yup just got here. Never heard of this site u til yesterday on Reddit LOL

I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.

Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.

Even though I mostly lurk, I spend more time in Kbin/Lemmy/Mastodon than Reddit/Twitter.

Probably 50/50, maybe slightly more on the Reddit side of things, so 60/50 in favor of Reddit? While a lot of my old subs are here on the Fedi, a lot aren't, arguably most of the ones I spent most of my time in aren't. The ones that are present, are noticeably a lot quieter.

For now I am almost completly on lemmy and kbin.social (still undecided which I like more, I'll probably delete one account as soon as I decided, or I won't, we'll see :)). I only look at reddit once or twice a day. I kinda like it more here. Yes, the content isn't where it is at reddit (atm), but the atmosphere is so much nicer.

Time will tell. I didn't kiss reddit goodbye yet tbh.

Yes. Pretty pissed at Reddit even though I realized it.

Haven't used Reddit much since the turn of this year as it was negatively affecting my mental health (the atmosphere, aggressiveness etc). So yeah I guess I've been browsing this one more. I have tried "niche" websites many times before and they do always have that "wonder of the beginning" phase. Whether I'll stick around tho... fully dependant on if there is interesting threads being posted in the future and the discussion isn't hostile (unlike my experience of Reddit. You can say literally anything and someone will show up to argue with you over the dumbest, most meaningless thing for no other reason than just to argue. Never signed up for that treatment so yeah if that happens here I'll be OUT.)

Yes!

I'm waiting for my reddit history archive to be ready for download. I requested it last week and reddit is taking it's time. After I'm able to download the history, I'm going to destroy my 10 years of reddit post history with useless gibberish.

Im on Lemmy for 95% of stuff, only go back to Reddit for wikis on subreddits like r/AsianBeauty and r/BodyweightFitness. I don’t participate at all on there, I’m just there for the wiki. Huge transition tbh considering that l used Reddit for a lot of basic questions I had: cooking, fitness, career, etc etc. When I’m using it to answer questions as fundamental as those I’d say it used to play a huge role in my daily routine.

Yeah, if Reddit keeps going the way it is I'm not expecting it to be a very usable site in the future so I just jumped ship early.

If Reddit backpedals enough and the whole thing blows over I might go back but that doesn't seem to be what's going down. Lemmy is a pretty good replacement for my needs and the smaller community is a plus.

I feel like I have spent more time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit per day, but that’s likely because of the novelty of it. I assume my usage will level back out to effectively the same as I had on Reddit.

I'd like to but there just isn't strong enough engagement on Lemmy yet. It does seem like a really good viable alternative but I don't think enough Reddit users care enough about what's happening there to step away from it unfortunately. I'm continuing to use Reddit while my third party app still works but when that dies, I'll give strong consideration to giving it up as I don't want to line the chief wanker Spez's pockets.

As of now, yeppp

I'm still waiting on a data request export, and also check in to rerun a backup + PowerDelete whenever a sub opens up, just so that's cleared on my way out. But besides that Im way note active here than I ever was on reddit especially sure some of the niche communities have an existing presence.

I made a lemmy account today. I was trying mastodon but I don't love it yet. I've deleted reddit from my phone so I'll definitely be spending more time here

First post, i hope this is a viable reddit alternative

Just switched recently but I feel as if the communities in lemmy produces quality content than reddit

I'd say to effectively call yourself a Reddit refugee would mean that you are no longer on Reddit so ...^^
Some people might just be curious about Lemmy, but refugees are here because they don't want to use Reddit anymore so I'd expect every one of those to spend more time on Lemmy.

Not sure if this is good or bad to post, but I thought it's at least interesting. A subreddit content mirroring instance/bot https://lemmit.online

But - I've definitely kicked the reddit habit. Was easy to during the blackouts. I was never a contributor anyway - just a mindless scroller/lurker. I still occasionally use imgur.com if I need to mindlessly scroll and lemmy doesn't have enough content.

Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.

I make a physical effort to not use reddit anymore. I've also recently figured out better how to use Lemmy and how the fediverse works. I will never go back, even if they say "sorry" and the ipo change doesn't happen.

I just joined and this is my first comment ever. I am curious as to how this site functions.

The only time I've been back to Reddit is when it's linked here and i only stay long enough to read the post and a few comments.

I don't really browse Reddit anymore when I am on desktop. I am still on Apollo though, so my Reddit experience will go forever on July 1st. I'm really not interested in the official app and I have already some of my favourite communities replicated on #kbin and federated magazines.

i barely use reddit nowadays. I still miss my niche communities but to offset the lack of variety, it feels like the content here is of higher quality

I'm spending more time in the Fediverse than Reddit, but I am browsing both. I'm probably 70% on the fediverse vs 30% on reddit at the moment. I've stopped posting or commenting on reddit though, and I've decided I won't use Reddit on my phone after 30th June; I will just remove the App I used.

One thing I would like to see is a Reddit script or extension that allows you to post content to Reddit AND duplicate it out to a community you're logged into in the Fediverse. I think that would help siphon off a lot of content and lower the threshold for users switching (at least the more technically minded users who would use tampermonkey). Unforunately I don't have the technical skills to do something like that.
