For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sure do.

I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!

I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Fantasmita@lib.lgbt 3 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] vinzen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

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

[–] Secret300@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] stink_pickle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, but I also use Squiggy too

[–] axus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance πŸ”°

These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

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.

[–] skepticalifornia@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is β€œalmost” as good as Sync for Reddit was.

For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.

The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!

[–] mjbennison@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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 :)

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 3 points 2 years ago

Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.

with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me

[–] amenotef@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.

I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.

This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.

[–] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I would like to, but let's be real, i had a question about a game today and i went to Reddit because that game deosn't have a Lemmy community.

Reddit has more people, more content, and more history. Only an actual collapse will make Lemmy a superior alternative.

[–] Capricorny90210@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.
