No Stupid Questions

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 am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

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

Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.

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.

10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it's early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.

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

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.

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

Well I am now. Now that Slide quit working. I was looking at both. I still can see Reddit in my browser at home but this was a nice kick in the pants to make me really focus here at 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 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 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 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.

@AskThinkingTim No, I mostly used Twitter (still) and used Libreddit and Stealth for Reddit because I didn't communicate anyway

i am here to browse less, and engage more. I hope to spend about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I did on Reddit, as everyone's time is finite. I am not going back after browsing through the communities, which I think will grow in time.

Engagement is key

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

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.

Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.

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 😅

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

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

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.

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

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 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 haven't used Reddit for a week already

After 10 years on reddit, it wasn’t easy at first (at first being just the threat of apps not working). And I wasn’t sure where to go: Mastodon, Discord, Lemmy, etc. But as the communities grew, content increased, and I even found similar groups in the fediverse, I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy, and much more certain this the right direction.

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.

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'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.
