Asklemmy

I already have.

I use wefwef.app (to be rename Voyager next week it). It’s the closest thing I’ve found to Apollo and their seems to be a lot of contributors because it gets updated with new features and bug fixes almost daily.

Still hoping for more content though, and I’ve been guilty of not adding any myself, but I’m going to try and post more.

Yup, only going to reddit for some niche communities that aren't here. This is my main platform now.

I browsed reddit primarily with RIF for over 13 years, I made GDPR request for my data, and once I received it I edited all my comments to the copy pasta statement about reddit ruining itself, I then got summarily banned the day before RIF went 429. Made an account on lemmy.world. Feels like reddit during the Digg migration, I remember that exodus just as fondly.

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

I'm adjusting. Work in progress. We don't really have any choice in the matter. Reddit is just too far past the pale. Migrating myself and others. I now have an official reddit app with revanced and the app is still God awful trash. If I'm on pc, I try to avoid reddit links that come in search and only use old.reddit.com with an adblocker and tracking blocking. I'm even trying to do this setup on mobile if I have to use reddit. Reddit is ultimately dead to me with their current CEO and corporate structure, etc.

I replaced Reddit with Lemmy

Completely dumping reddit. I wasn't sure if there would be enough content over here to replace it, but has picked up significantly in the past couple weeks.

Yep. I was on Reddit for more than 10 years and provided content regularly. Paying $5 or so a month to access the site using Sync would have been OK, but there's no way I'm going to use their crappy app and be inundated by ads while they suck up data from my phone.

IMO Reddit has lost a big stream of easy income from people like me who would have been long-term subscribers. Instead the BS they've pulled in the last couple of months have pushed me to delete all my posts and comments and leave the site completely.

I only go there to steal content that I then enhance manually. I always had a kneejerk reaction against the hackernews reposts on Reddit. So, I try to make my content cloning less conspicuous and I make sure to enhance the content with more depth when I bring it here.

No, I've replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

I wish I didn't have to, but I have to because without Relay there's no Reddit for me.

Y'all lemmy people seem nice, so I plan on staying! :)

Reddit killed Apollo so I now am using wef wef for Lemmy.

Yes. After 15 years of reddit I was done with it. Deleted my account. I'm tired of being a product. I miss my subs but oh well.

I do worry about bots and stuff with Lemmy though.

I am trying to. Unfortunately, a lot of communities I am part of dont have a big enough presence here.

The moment that boost stopped working I moved to Lemmy.

Yes as soon as rif died reddit died for me.

Yeah, I'm coming from RIF. The official reddit app is the liverwurst and it seems like the reddit ceo is a jerk.

I'm replacing reddit with my cousin Lenny

Subjectively it's getting exponentially more active every single day. Thats very promissing. I hope Meta does not kill the fediverse.

For now I do not have any problems with redundant communites. Time will tell how things scale up.

I'd like to but the users and content are just not here yet. A lot of my interest don't have communities set up or are inactive so far...

Yep, already deleted my 14yo Reddit acct and made the switch. Really glad I did :)

It's not "replacing", I don't think you can "replace" just the shear amount of information/images/shitposts on the site.

It however is serving as a fine "supplant" of the site. It's the same general image/link aggregation with the community of commenters...

Haven’t been on Reddit at all since Apollo shut down. Lemmy is my new home!

Yes and I hope that the user engagement increases with time so that there is new content and info, because I used reddit for tech and other news, if lemmy does that I'm more than happy to stay here.

I've always just enjoyed having drinks with Lenny regardless of the social media apps I used. He is a pretty good guy, doesn't judge much which is great for conversations.

Funny enough, while having a few duffs with Lenny, we got to discussing reddits recent changes to 3rd party APIs and we both agreed it was going to be a bad discision long term. So Lenny started talking about Lemmy, and said I should check it out. I did once my reddit 3rd party app didn't work. So it was actually Lenny that converted me to Lemmy. He's a swell guy.

I love chilling with Uncle Lenny on Lemmy

Yes, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy.

I’ve already replaced it with Lemmy. I simply have my Reddit account now to check on it to make sure my content remains deleted.

YSK, you can edit titles here.

Yep, reddit killed reddit.

Trying, but the userbase of a lot of the smaller communities I follow on reddit (especially the ones that aren't tech related) probably won't switch in the immediate future.

I'm trying. I've moved over here for the most part, but there are a handful of Reddit subs that I enjoy that don't really have similar communities on Lemmy. I'm subscribed to those subs in my RSS reader now, so I don't actually have to open Reddit unless I come across a post where I want to see the comments.

I logged out of my Reddit account on June 15 and have only been back following direct links. Lemmy seems so much more alive than Reddit currently and hopefully decentralised platforms will continue to become more popular.

I am, and I've noticed one welcomed effect it has had in me.

I'll admit I had an unhealthy phone habit of mindlessly scrolling and Reddit nurtured this.

As much as I'm excited about Lemmy - the barriers I'm finding of finding content that appeases my desire to scroll has greatly reduced my phone usage. Smaller user base, inability (for me anyway) to find communities and content through the search etc.

Lemmy is just good enough for me not to go back to Reddit, but not matured enough to replace the addition.

Yes... 13+ years on Reddit on my main account (different name than my Lemmy account), and it's gone. I've deleted all my posts and thousands of replies. I was active in several communities, including the Linux and open-source communities.

I used a script to edit my post history and replace my posts with random text, and then after a waiting period, delete the posts entirely. It took a couple of days to sift through it all. Then once I was down to zero posts... deleted my account.

So far yes. Almost any time I attempt to use reddit everything is down because of the crackdown. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the api changes anyway and no one here tells anyone to "Google it" with any questions. People actually respond in kind from what I've seen

who the fuck is lenny?
