Asklemmy

yep, feels like old reddit and i'm so so happy!

Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!

So far I'm liking it. I wasn't fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I'm seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.

I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don't feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.

I have half replaced Reddit with the Fediverse and half replaced it with this exciting new discovery I made of this thing called called IRL™.

From what I understand I can subscribe and engage with just about any compatible fediverse website thing in a sort of generic reddit/Twitter environment, right? I don't think I really have to make this choice, just kind of poke around and curate my home page while the app developers work on ease of use and the fediverse itself works on communication and tutorials for people like me (people who fall up stairs)

Edit: I am transitioning away from reddit the vibe sucks and the ads are a joke

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

Im trying. But, for the love of god, i cant seem to understand how all this works.

I’m here 99.9999% of the time

I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs though…

I deleted my reddit account (and all my content beforehand) so yeah...still looking around for matching communities though.

I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.

Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.

I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.

Absolutely. Deleted account.

I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.

I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.

Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.

Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.

Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.

If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!

For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.

If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.

now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.

Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.

(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit 😀)

I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.

Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.

I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.

I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.

Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.

Simply yes. Not going back

from my phone, i only have access to lemmy. in browser i access both, 50/50. there are 10 or so subs that i frequent on reddit, the rest i'm here. it's hard to let that account go because i put energy into building it and it's 10+ years old. i've been using it to track my journey in life. was planning on aggregating the data.

Yes, I just recently created my Lemmy account and had to answer a question like "why did you choose this username".

What did you answer, OP?

jesssir, deleted all my reddit accs

Pretty much

I didn't remove my Reddit account yet, but I stopped using it as soon as I tried Lemmy. As I expected, it's not perfect, it still needs some love on the technical side, but people and content are already here. I'm pretty happy with my feed so far. I can only see it grow and getting better, but I guess we'll find out how the fight with spam bots will be.

Yeah. I'm just waiting for the subs that I was active at to grow here (mostly space-related subs).
