Now I just wish Lemmy can come up in my Google search when I search for reviews. Right now that is still Reddit's territory and no Lemmy at all. Lemmy should really improve it's SEO to not only makes using it with search engines easier, it can also help new users discover this platform.

In starting to, but it's more like the old days now where I'll go to my list of cool sites and only if all those run out and I'm bored enough to doomscroll will I visit the R.

[–] moridinbg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too

Yes. The Reddit BS was too much for me, and lemmy has been great.

[–] CheeseAndCrepes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when I’m on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.

[–] letbelight@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

This is my first acc on lemmy, so yes, I do want to move to... Lemmy

[–] victron@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I already did, during the blackout. I honestly didn't have much hope for things to improve or roll back. Also, in the last month I've seen the communities grow a lot, so I don't miss reddit that much.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.

I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!

[–] RockinGamr99@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.

[–] Sqwave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Already have 😏

[–] psykick@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.

Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.

Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.

[–] CreativeCider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.

I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly, yeah.

[–] razieltakato@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to, but I miss NSFW content here

[–] krodnoc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say “good riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.

[–] rschecht@lemm.live 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.

[–] peyotecosmico@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content

[–] Abualiexpress@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.

As long as my synch for reddit version works I dont see myself leaving reddit.

[–] kairo79@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?

[–] itsnotlupus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.

It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.

[–] 20gramsWrench@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago
[–] J0hnny007@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not yet. Sadly the small community’s 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!

[–] Kauzig@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I already did.

[–] Dardlem@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.

[–] anon_water@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago
[–] biomatter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Im using this ios app Memmy. It reminds me so much of Apollo. Now just need to give some so all the communities switch to lemmy. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
