Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

A mix between hacker news and Lemmy

I want to! But there is a lot missing that I miss about reddit that isn't active here like squared circle and anime. I think it will take a while for most of that to build up here but it is solely missed but I don't want to use reddit anymore due to their terrible practices.

I'm bouncing around Reddit and Lemmy. Won't be contributing much to Reddit anymore and will be posting and commenting on Lemmy.

So far am trying too. I usully get most of my news from reddit during normal use. Would normally browse by Hot on R/all and first few posts were typically "important" news articles. Don't really see the same amount of posts here. Maybe will pick up during election season or will have to break down and find a more dedicated news server.

Absolutely.

I refuse to go on Reddit, it sucks because it takes way longer to find the answers I search for.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

Iโ€™m pretty close. I still check a few smaller Reddit communities but only when Iโ€™m on my pc in the browser. Almost all interacting (posting and comments) is on Lemmy now.

I already did, during the blackout. I honestly didn't have much hope for things to improve or roll back. Also, in the last month I've seen the communities grow a lot, so I don't miss reddit that much.

I am, here's the proof:

me with lenny

Lemmy at home, reddit at work. Lemmy has WAY too much porn on the main page for work...

I would've done that a while ago if not for the left wingers populating all those communities. But, at least i tolerate left wingers better than right wingers.
