Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.

Not yet. Sadly the small communityβs that had me hooked on Reddit in the first place have yet to make it here (HFY my beloved). I also find the current mobile clients a bit jank (in comparison to Apollo) but I hope that situation will get better with time. Anyhow fuq the 1st party Reddit client, I ain't touching that shit. Apollo till it breaks!
Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.
Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.
Yes.
Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool
Yeah trying to at least. Signed up on lemmy.world and using wefwef atm. Wont be using reddit for much longer I don't think
Yup , havenβt been back to Reddit since Apollo went dark.
Absolutely.
I've replaced all discussion on Reddit with Lemmy. I still browse Reddit due to it still having some communities with content I still have to access such as Jumpchain and modding Elder Scrolls.
I've moved all my normal hobby discussions over here and am only using Reddit as part of my job. (85% of Tech Support is finding someone who had the same one-off issue 8 years ago, and usually the answer is in a Reddit thread)
Yes
I am, here's the proof:
me with lenny
This made my day π
I only post on lemming now
Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

trying
Deleted my comments and account and now I'm here. Though Im kinda trying to get off social media and so I'm on lemmy sparingly. Trying to be more productive with my time.
well yeah for the most part but it has been tough as some of my communities have are non existent here or little activity so i still go through old reddit and look at some subreddits.
