I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit
I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.
( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
Infinity is still working at the moment but today I removed it from my home screen and replaced with a Lemmy app. There isn't a community replacement for every subreddit I follow just yet but hopefully Lemmy and other Fediverse services will continue to grow.
In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.
Lemmy doesn't have that debt.
To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don't exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it's been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.
Yes. Fuck reddit
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.
I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O
Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.
Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used βnewβ Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.
Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.
