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

Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. π
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'm about a week clean now, content has been really good
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 βalmostβ 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!
I'm going the supplementation route for now. Reddit official app is not enjoyable to use. I currently have a work around for my 3rd party app of choice. If the work around ever fails and reddit doesn't improve their app, I'm hopeful Lemmy will grow enough in the meantime to fully fill the reddit void.
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.
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 :)
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.
Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
Already done.
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.
I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now
I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance π°
These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.
I gave Lemmy a shot after the API debacle on reddit. First week was bumpy with lots of timeouts and servers that weren't able to handle all the new users from reddit.
It quickly improved. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account.
Lenny?
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!
RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.
Not by itself, no.
My current replacements for reddit are:
- A kbin account for serious-posting
- This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
- Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
- (Eventually) an RSS reader
- Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results
I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)
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.
Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.
I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.
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.
