Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, haven’t used it since

[–] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video

[–] Metasyntactic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I’m fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.

[–] thesalamander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

[–] sveri@lemmy.sveri.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.

The reddit app is just bad and slow.

[–] checkforupdates@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and haven’t turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.

[–] TheSleepMovement@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So far yep! Why not?

Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?

Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

This is my first Lemmy comment ever!

[–] nonexertion@lemmy.run 2 points 2 years ago

Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.

During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.

Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.

I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Mostly because I got permabanned from Reddit about a year ago for making offensive jokes and trying to appeal a sub ban by using an alt account. Given what's happening now on Reddit, it seems I didn't lose much.

However, the fact that this site clearly states on its rules that it's not a free speech space means that it will never ever be as good as Reddit on its early years.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Please dont tell anyone how I live

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Other than some specific subs, yes

[–] goodgame@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Well, this is nice, hello

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

[–] Woshimaraci@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.

[–] Bz2486@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now

[–] Peeko@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.

[–] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.moorefam.net 2 points 2 years ago

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

[–] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.

[–] Popinguj@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.

[–] S3mI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

My third eldest, Larissa, she was talking about this just last week. She is very smart, I’ll give her that, because she was the first in the family to go to university. And she passed with distinctions. So we’re all quite proud of her.

I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
