I have replaced it as my active site,

So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.

[–] Bluefrog1313@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. 😝

[–] Fantasmita@lib.lgbt 3 points 1 year ago

Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

[–] Secret300@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

[–] void_wanderer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.

As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Mostly

A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.

I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

I would've done that a while ago if not for the left wingers populating all those communities. But, at least i tolerate left wingers better than right wingers.

Boost stopped working

This works great

No reason to go anywhere

Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.

[–] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah for the most part I have. There’s still a few things and reasons I’m still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on

[–] Msmagic1995@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.

The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.

[–] Taleq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely. For now I just need Relay for Lemmy.

I'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.

[–] Houman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, as should everyone.

[–] Djangofett@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it's better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.

[–] nitefox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Preaching to the choir to ask this here, tbh

but, yes.

[–] BlinkerFluid@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I take regular breaks to go fuck around on 4chan from time to time and rather than come back for my seasonal reddit adventure, I chose Lemmy.

Basically a drop-in replacement. Does Infinity have support yet?

https://github.com/Docile-Alligator/Infinity-For-Reddit/discussions/1490#discussioncomment-6207501

"docile alligator wants to continue relations with Reddit and make Infinity subscription based so he's obviously not going to do this himself (since that would definitely end relations with Reddit by breaking terms of service)."

Ughhh LAME

[–] Nerrad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Be the Community You Want to See On Lenny. Whereever 2 or more are gathered in his name, Lemmy Bruce will be there.

[–] Feugnis@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I never really used Reddit. I would scroll through it if I was really bored and occasionally post but never that much. I stopped because of the API just because it was really easy to stop. It could only be good for me to remove that one other thing that tricks my mind into doom scrolling. So will I be using Lenny? It would probably be good for me to not and go do more productive things. But I feel like if I have free time, supporting this is definitely good, I really like the goal and don't want it to die.

[–] MassiveBrainage@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.

[–] WishbackJumpsta@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.

No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.

just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.

Im so happy I found this place

[–] Anidor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. Fuck bullies.

[–] preasket@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.

[–] PRUSSIA_x86@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

In early June I decided to give Lemmy the old test drive, and I haven't left. Bye Reddit.
