Asklemmy

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I'm seeing here so far has been good.

That's the goal, but it may not work in practice. I often used Reddit as a place for curated information. So a lot of Google searches like "wireguard server reddit" to get good no nonsense information. I think the lack of population and time could make it hard for Lemmy.ml to immediately replace Reddit for me, but I hope it will be successful. I'm ML ideology by nature so the idea of the Fediverse really appeals to me.

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

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.

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

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

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.

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

Lenny?

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

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

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

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

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

What's a Reddit?

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

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.

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

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

I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)
