I left during the blackout. I use reddit occasionally for specific questions I can't find anywhere else. It's a shit hole, but an old and useful shit hole.

I am, here's the proof:
me with lenny
I only post on lemming now
I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.
I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.
trying
Trying to. Itβs hard because Iβm super lonely and want to connect with people. But itβs still really new here and not a lot of users are here yet.
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.
Yah mon.
Yes. This exactly.
I prefer Squiggy
Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.
I am but I'm not sure why everyone complaint of ads but still using Reddit doesn't just use Reddit Revancec?
Not totally. Reddit is a shithole but it's my shithole
Working on it for sure.
Already have.
I don't really use Reddit any more.
I browse through brave browser out of spite now hit after downloading Memmy Iβve found myself on Lemmy way more than Reddit. Also feel I contribute a lot more to conversations than I did on Reddit.
I only ever go there to check the front page/news now. Lemmy is growing fast, but being decentralized, at the moment it's still easier to catch up on politics and world news using reddit.
Would be easiers by subscribing to theses communities until they merge in one. You will see more subjects that interest you.
Until the merge, I have different accounts with different orientations.
Actually, if u don't do that, Lemmy is really "hazardous".
Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience
I made my account yesterday so I can't really say if I will stick with Lemmy in the long term, but for now mostly yes, most of the communities I like are here and Lemmy feels a lot nicer than Reddit. But there are a few communities that are still only on Reddit so I'm using both
Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.
I uninstalled Reddit when Infinity died
I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time
Yes
