Asklemmy

Mastodon mostly.

It is. Both lemmy and Mastodon.

I cannot use Reddit or Twitter anymore.

It is, I don't go on Reddit anymore, it's insanely toxic. I've gotten all I could've gotten from there anyway. I only use Lemmy nowadays.

It's my only social media. I have Voyager, and it's all I need. I never used FB or Twitter, or anything other than Reddit. And I'm done with that cesspool.

Been trying lemmy for a few months, and I have mixed feelings. Not going back to reddit even if hell freezes but if only I could strip the orange turd and the jumping dipshit (and all of us politics) from my feed I’d enjoy it way more. This is most certainly user error, so if anyone has any recommendations I would welcome them. Being on .world is the problem?

Lemmy has replaced reddit for me.

Yeah, pretty much. This and Discord really. Signal for P2P messaging.

yeah i basically only use lemmy and watch youtube videos, or i pirate media, play games with friends, or do stupid stuff with my computer that i shouldnt be allowed to do

Yeah I'm on Lemmy and Mastodon. I also still watch YouTube. They haven't passed whatever my threshold is for suckitude, yet. I'm sure it's coming.

Started on lemmy today after reddit perma banned my 14 year old account for breaking the first rule of reddit. I may have told some to kill themselves. I'm definitely in the wrong but I don't care I'm taking the ban personally and never using it again.

Besides this place, I also use Imgur and YouTube to help fill in the void after leaving reddit. I'm considering joining Bluesky and Mastodon as well but I've never used a Twitter-like interface before so it's intimidating.

Unfortunately I still haven't found a suitable replacement for niche communities. There's always forums, but I got too used to points-based communities, and because comments are sorted chronologically, it's hard to know what's crap and what's actual useful information. Which can suck if you need a good opinion on something. 20-30 years ago that wouldn't have even bothered me, cause forums were the only social media I knew then. But times have changed.

Same for me. Mostly using Lemmy and Mastodon since they’re filling two different roles. I also reluctantly still use Instagram since all my friends are on it.

Some people seem to see it as a negative that Mastodon with its linear feed doesn’t get them nearly as addicted as corporate social media but for me that’s a huge plus.

Mostly on Lemmy. I'm on Mastadon too. I don't know if YouTube counts but I'm on there as well and is the only corporate social media I use consistently.

I find myself using Instagram more but only following a handful of creators, I don't post or check on my feed. I deleted my Twitter and LinkedIn but can't get myself to delete my Meta accounts because of the people that I have contact with on there. I hardly contact ppl but the sentimentally of the connections is something

s/main/only/

Lemmy after reddit banned me. I've been getting into Bluesky, too. Sometimes Mastodon. I'm open to other suggestions, too.

Lemmy is the only one I'll log onto and the only one I have as an app.

Sometimes though, I'll miss a super specific community from the place spez ruined, and scroll through it in DuckDuckGo browser.

Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don't see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I'm a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

I guess I do technically have a Facebook account still because I don't remember the password of either that account or the associated email address. I used that for local flea market and food sharing groups up until maybe 6 years ago.

I primarily use Lemmy. It's the only place to really find intelligent conversation. I hop over to reddit on occasion for topics that just aren't here yet. But almost every comment thread is either full of bots or those with little reading comprehension.

Mostly Lemmy. Mastodon sometimes – I have to spend more time there muting RSS bot accounts to find stuff of my interest.

Dipping my toes into Bluesky as well. So far it's been good – very polished experience.

I also lurk quite a bit on Tildes.net.

Lemmy is the only thing i post to occasionally. On Reddit and Instagram i just lurk

Lemmy is too quiet and has little local activity so I still glance at FB and Reddit

Lemmy and matrix, I still use Discord though because the communities are more active

Lemmy and Mastodon for me. I don’t get a lot of engagement on Mastodon but I never did on twitter either. So Lemmy is probably 90% of my interaction and mastodon is basically an reader for certain hashtags and people on the fedi

I went full Lemmy for a while but have to admit I'm reading reddit again, but without their dumb app. Just the web browser.

Looking through a few subreddits, see what's new for five minutes. I don't post anymore, don't have an account.

Youtube

There are so many really good animators on the platform

For me its startet for some years ago with Mastodon,then I grew into the fediverse (I didn't know anything about it) and now I use loops.video (stil its made for doomscroling) mastodon, Lemmy and pixelfed. Loops I think I'm to old to use that much, (to fast for me) but else I'm really happy with the social media. I haven't been on a mainstream SOME for 3 years.

Lemmy and Mastodon

I have deleted my accounts on Reddit, Twittet and Facebook.

I pretty much only use Lemmy (and loops but it's not really finished yet) but I have mastodon too.

Just lemmy in a browser for me. Never used facebag or twatter or others besides reddit.

I am so sorry, but several of my favorite journalists are still on Twitter.

lemmy is my first and only social account (unless you consider software forums or gitlab lol)

Matrix too but not using that in a social media way, only as a direct messenger.

in this order: Discord, YouTube, Lemmy

Yes. For over a year, from Reddit. Although I like Bluesky more than I expected. Also Discuit is awesome.

I use rdx.overdevs.com to read reddit still as it has a lot more fashion, art and vegan content than here, but the only places I interact online in that way anymore are the Fediverse and Fragrantica, but the latter only really for perfume related stuff.

Had a Facebook account I completely ignored (set it up for my first girlfriend and we exclusively used Yahoo Messenger) then turned into a music dump, then deleted. I honestly never saw the point of Facebook, not with apps like WhatsApp or even standard SMS evolving as they have, even back then (talking about the 2010s).

Had an Instagram account for about 3 months - surprisingly decent source of grotesque/morbid art! Again, saw no point in this, and Reddit felt superior in all ways.

Mainlined Reddit for a good couple of years, mostly during the Pandemic. By the time I got into it, one could feel its bulk, so to speak. Sure 99.7% of Reddit were the users, but even so, it felt as though subreddit quirks and in-jokes had ossiffied into tennets by that point. Loved it, but it felt constraining here and there.

Switched to Lemmy a couple of months after deleting my Reddit account when shit went down, and it's all I've been using and plan on using. Unless one counts news aggregators as social platforms.

I love this scroungy, spit-and-duct tape feel of the fediverse, to be very honest. Feels like the days when we used to group chat on local network sharing apps, like it's just the neighbourhood kids around. And it seems to not be dissipating even with the huge increase in users, which is a good sign. Plus the obvious lack of curation other than baseline moderation and/or personal grudges is always nice!

I was never much of a social media guy, especially after moonlighting one summer as a social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram (really, really kills it for ya), but I was a redditor for a while.

I swapped over to Lemmy exclusively during the API fees, but to be fair I was already getting frustrated by the service. The karma farming was just too much, so many stupid reposts of the same stupid made up wholesome stories and crap. I think I only miss r/comics and r/idiotsincars, the later requiring a critical mass of people to actually be worthwhile.

Bluesky at this point. It has most of the people I used to follow on twitter already.
