Asklemmy

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.

I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

Sure am. Been using Lemmy exclusively (shoutout to Memmy) for the past 3 weeks

A few of my communities have not migrated at all, so I check back there occasionally.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

I only come to Reddit to check the status of my data takeout request and use teddit to check out /r/modcoord and /r/redditalternatives though they're winding down. Migration complete, after 3 years.

Yup. After seeing Lemmy start to populate with more users and content, I deleted my Reddit account and only use search engines to search for information on Reddit now.

I just started Lemmy a couple days ago. I uninstalled Reddit app 3 weeks ago and closed all my tabs. Occasionally a search results in Google for info will pop up a relevant reddit thread, of I think it has an answer I need I will click it. I didn't delete my reddit account or anything tho, just logged out.

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

Yes, deleted my Reddit account

no doubt. fuck reddit

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.

I'm in the process... Since they destroyed RiF, I've been going to the old Reddit website but it's just not the same anymore. I've been resisting downloading the Reddit app due to what they've done to the community but it's not easy.

Lemmy is nice and all but I find it confusing as it shows several communities (some with 0 MAU and some with plenty) whenever I search for it. I'm excited for the future of this one and the Mastodon one but they're just not as polished as their more established counterparts.

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

Already did

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

yep

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

Gonna be using both for a while I think. Stopped using reddit on my phone after the api changes forced 3rd party apps to shut down(RIP Sync for Reddit). Only using Reddit on my desktop, using Lemmy on both desktop and android (via LittOff for now, will switch once Sync for Lemmy is out!).

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.
