Asklemmy

Yep, thats the plan anyways. I believe in free speech and, as a former Apollo and Joey user, I have zero tolerance for bullshit companies whose entire goal is to turn my words into training tools for AI in their pursuit of a multi billion dollar IPO.

If they want me back, they can pay me.

That being said, its looking like this transition may take awhile. Im not even sure if my ev, worldnews and other subs exist here yet.

But, its exciting times! Reminds me of the first time I posted to slashdot news back in 1999 and reddit back in 2012.

Edit - I also have a mastadon account, Salty Muskrat can eat it too.

As much as I want to move on to the fediverse, there are occasions where Reddit is better, such as finding specific questions that were answered; it’s like the stack overflow for general life. Now I just browse the cached version if I need to search for something like that.

Yup. After seeing Lemmy start to populate with more users and content, I deleted my Reddit account and only use search engines to search for information on Reddit now.

On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

I'm in the process... Since they destroyed RiF, I've been going to the old Reddit website but it's just not the same anymore. I've been resisting downloading the Reddit app due to what they've done to the community but it's not easy.

Lemmy is nice and all but I find it confusing as it shows several communities (some with 0 MAU and some with plenty) whenever I search for it. I'm excited for the future of this one and the Mastodon one but they're just not as polished as their more established counterparts.

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

Can't enjoy browsing Reddit on mobile without RiF, and won't use Reddit on PC at all anymore out of principle.

long live lemmy

I only come to Reddit to check the status of my data takeout request and use teddit to check out /r/modcoord and /r/redditalternatives though they're winding down. Migration complete, after 3 years.

Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.

Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!

I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

Already did

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

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.

Lenny?

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

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.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

I’ve been strictly here and 4chan

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

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.

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.
