Asklemmy

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I'm seeing here so far has been good.

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.

Right now using both.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Every so often I'll glance at r/politics or r/worldnews since following the news was a big part of how I used reddit and Lemmy doesn't quite have the volume to replace it for that function yet. But as time goes on I'm finding Mastodon and Post to be almost just as good for news so I expect to cut out reddit completely before long. The vibe and overall feel is a breath of fresh air, I'm really liking it!

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

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.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

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

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

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.

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.

I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.

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.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

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

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

yep

Gonna be using both for a while I think. Stopped using reddit on my phone after the api changes forced 3rd party apps to shut down(RIP Sync for Reddit). Only using Reddit on my desktop, using Lemmy on both desktop and android (via LittOff for now, will switch once Sync for Lemmy is out!).

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

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

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.

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 :)

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
