Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.

As long as it doesn't devolve into a cesspool of "those types" of people, I'll probably stay around. Discoverability does need to improve, though

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.

Definitely. I've gone all-in on the non-corp social media: Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, so far. This is a refreshing experience. I know that what I am shown has nothing to do with an algorithm designed to keep me engaged and looking at ads. LOL Social media run by people in the society, not corporations, is the water I put my boat into.

Time will tell. Digg was great until it wasn't. Reddit killing my favorite app of 10+ years can fuck off (long live Bacon Reader). Lemmy by design is fragmented which is great, but will introduce momentum problems. Really it's going to come done to; Is their a Lemmy app and server that I can encapsulate most of my interests into and be able to ignore the rest?

I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.

Yes

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

I certainly hope so. While I can't look into the future, I haven't been feeling the need to return to reddit at all, and I have hopes for Lemmy - if it continues to grow without devolving into some bot-infested, right-wing mess or something.

For now though, I'm definitely hopeful. The announcement of the Sync and Slide apps gives me a positive outlook here!

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.

I think so. It was hard to leave reddit at first, I didn't realize how hooked into that ecosystem I was. Now that there are more people interacting with Lemmy and more communities popping up, I think I'll continue to stick around. Lemmy does seem to be turning the corner from reddit bashing into its own environment, which is refreshing.

Lemmy seems promising, its rough around the edges and needs work, but so was Digg when I first joined and the same with Reddit. It seems like the Lemmy developers and the iOS developers (I'm sure the same with Android, but I only have iOS devices) are working hard on both bug fixes and quality of life updates, which is encouraging.

Depends on the content, really.

I really hope this migrating-from-Reddit thing will work. I'd really like to stay.

Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.

I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.

Absolutely. I will never use Reddit again out of principle.

Only if I can search it somehow. Google doesn't seem to index it.

I was already on lemmy dammit

I do not have much of a choice in this. No matter how good or bad Lemmy is, Reddit is not an option anymore for me: I do not want my data to get monetized. I should own the comments I write, not them. Also, the recent events really showed that Reddit administration board cannot be trusted: continuing to use Reddit would be silently supporting their behavior, which I just can't.

So far I like what I'm seeing in Lemmy. Yes, it's not as good as Reddit used to be, but I am sure that with time it will be similar to what I was experiencing. And I'm enjoying it already.

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

I want to, but I think the content still needs some help

yup. but wee need more feature like real polls.

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.

100% yes.. It just doesn't feel right to me that Reddit is a platform entirely created by the community, yet the ones getting rich are a select few.

In essence, people make content and some guy who probably doesn´t even use reddit that much gets to buy a new house/car/boat. No thank you.

Short term, definitely. Long term, how the hell should I know.

Yep

Yes! Done with Reddit

Slick interface. Text-heavy. OG Redditors.

I’ll stay for sure if it picks up.

I feel so let down by Reddit. I had two accounts with a combined Karma of 800k. I only posted original content. I posted thousands of comments. Reddit was an ingrained part of my daily life for years.

Then both accounts were permanently suspended immediately after I called out a bot phishing scam. Two appeals rejected. I was gutted. Still am.

Reddit is hedging everything on AI / LLM populating the entire site. Who needs human content creators anymore?

So, yeah. If Lemmy grows, I’ll be arguing, trolling, and jesting here for many years to come.

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

Lemmy and Jerboa have really improved so much these last few days. I've already deleted my main account on reddit and I just use my secondary one to try and spread the word about lemmy and kbin.

Hundred percent. Was a Digg "refugee" once before and I made the migration, more than likely will be a Reddit refugee making the migration again to Lemmy.

Maybe if they bring actual polls. I feel cheated after having clicked on a poll that was not, in fact, a poll

I'm uncertain.

A fair portion of the communities I followed on Reddit were rather niche, so it might be a bit before similar communities pop up here. I'm also not completely sold on the fediverse concept, and there's a strong focus on Reddit hate here rather than actual new content.

On the other hand, I think it has a lot of promise, and the 3rd party app I used for Reddit is also coming here, so I think it has a lot of potential. I just hope Lemmy comes into its own eventually.

Yes

Where would I go?

Almost certainly. I just signed up to pay $5/mo through Patreon for .worlds. I'm happy to pay and not SEE ANY GD!#)$$U@) ADVERTISING!! I mean that alone... lol

Communities are filling up, that's what matters. Code works fine. The android Jerboa app (only one I could find; is there another?) won't run on my Pixel 6 Pro but I'm fine with the web interface.

I'm gently suggesting in the subreddits I inhabit that it's time to move, here. My usage there dropped a lot with the shenanigans there; I suspect it will never return to its former self. Fine by me. Everything is a TAZ; gotta stay flexible.

The culture matters, not the platform.

Yes!

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise
