Yeah, just got a temp ban for apparently wrongfully reporting a post. Fuck that place

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.

But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove πŸ€”

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.

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.

I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.

I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Welcome!

For clients, https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ has a good list.

For communities, you can use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

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.

[–] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

Yes. Fuck reddit

[–] Metasyntactic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.

[–] Digirip@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Been here for a few days. Feels like home

[–] xxkickassjackxx@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am 100%. Sadly i don’t think most Reddit users will until lemmy becomes easier to use and gets a functioning IOS app.

[–] Fleecer74@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Use https://wefwef.app it’s like Apollo for Lemmy

[–] Shoukupan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.

[–] goodgame@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Well, this is nice, hello

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year 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.

Other than some specific subs, yes

[–] xeger@lib.lgbt 2 points 1 year ago

Haven’t quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.

I’m not highly involved in any communities there, else I’d attempt a mass migration.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Please dont tell anyone how I live

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me

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.

[–] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
