For me the move wasn't hard to be honest, reddit for me is just hell scrolling (or whatever the term is) to get some news some memes and just keep up with games, and the occasional porn.

I thought about moving to lemmy before the blackout for the sake of easier piracy seeing how they made the move as a backup.

The only thing I miss is the centralized communities, for example in lemmy you have the technology community in several instances splitting the community (unless I'm just confusing on how it works) and the fact that you can't make a custom feed

Otherwise, don't miss reddit.

I’m certainly done contributing in any way. I’ve edited my past posts and comments so they all say fuck /u/spez and will now only use Reddit as a read only resource if I can’t find the answer to a question elsewhere.

yeah i think i'm about to ditch all social media. and probably irl too if i'm totally honest

I’ve been here for about seven days and occasionally open my Apollo app out of habit. When that happens I come visit Lemmy. I don’t really miss Reddit.

I’m done. Still trying to decide between kbin and lemmy for a real replacement

I am giving it the same treatment that the other social media sites get. No contributions, no direct access if I can avoid it, browser redirects to go through a libredit instance if I land on it.

The current mess made me realize that:

1. WTF, reddit has like a billion users now? When did that happen? That's a good reason in itself to leave.
2. I had an unhealthy relationship with the site. Feels liberating to leave behind my biggest online addiction.

I will use it until the 30th. That day will mark the end of my Reddit journey.

I'm slowly letting my RiF die. Still have it downloaded, but it's gunna but hard come 6/30.

I uninstalled Sync for Reddit on the 11th, I'd rather the day I uninstall Sync be the day I stop using Reddit entirely as my contribution to the protest. Rather than the last day I use it be because Reddit pried it from my hands. Fuck /u/spez.

Still using it but spending more and more time on kbin and Lemmy. Reddit has become quite an unpleasant experience now. I don't know if it's always been that way and I'm just noticing it now or if something has changed with the blackouts.

I haven't been back since the blackout "ended". I am gun shy about deleting my 15 year old account. I fucking hate spez. His face pisses me off. If punchable face wasn't banned he would be on it.

I was thoroughly addicted to reddit, the blackout made me realize that. I like the fediverse, so I'm going to stay here.

I still have my account but I'm keeping it just to get the list of subreddits I'm subscribed to and find respective communities on Lemmy, on July 1st it's game over for me on there

I'm here because I'm ditching Reddit. I've been on it for so long. If I can't use RIF, then I don't want to use Reddit.

Still using it for /r/ukrainianconflict, otherwise done

I went ahead and scrubbed my post history over there. When Apollo closes out, I’ll be out. Hoping this setup continues to grow. It’s a shame, but no interest in supporting the current stupidity.

Tbh I had slowly already stopped using it. I only use it to Google answers to things.

I've kind of gone on a soft break - I go on there and scroll a little, but don't participate/post and limit my time greatly.

I have the boost for reddit app. To me that's reddit. When that stops working I'll delete the app and that will be the end of it. Hopefully one day there will be a boost for lemmy.

Not yet. But I do have some letting go issues. Reddit still has historical data. But I'll guess that's also stored in different places now, only to become available in the future. The way it's heading now is down the drain. If this guy stays on, it'll also be hard to repair the damage and have faith/trust again. That being said, I'm really starting to like Lemmy. I hope that all content and communities transfer to this lovely Fediverse. I has it's quirks to work out. But my time on reddit is getting an all time low, whilst my time on Lemmy is starting to grow. It'll be very cool if Lemmy, replaces Reddit.

I occasionally open a Reddit link from search results because I am not paying enough attention, but even if I need something that I think can only be found on Reddit I am not touching it and I immediately close it if I accidentally open it. If any friends send me a Reddit link to a meme image, I don't open it. Instead I share links to memes on Lemmy. 😂

I haven't gone and overwrote all of my content (because I figure they are looking for it right now and I might end up fighting an automated restoration system right now), but if I ever open it intentionally again, that's what it will be for.

I'm fully done with it, no peeks. It's actually significantly easier to write off Reddit than most sites for me. Had this happened a little while later it might have changed though.

A subreddit for something I work on had gotten automatically shut down for lack of moderation (it was dead so 🤷) and I was in the middle of contemplating contacting Reddit to unban the subreddit and take control of it, but with Reddit's decisions I don't want to use the site anymore, even if they reverse course.

I am instead contemplating opening a dedicated Lemmy instance specifically for the thing I work on, and if I do end up following through on that the only reason I would go on Reddit again is to make sure that subreddit stays closed, permanently. Me and the other person in charge have zero interest in using Reddit at all (we are both third-party app users), and we work to make sure that nobody masquerades as "official" (it only causes us headaches) and fracturing our informational/reference material further than it already is.

I've deleted my posts and comments using a userscript to overwrite them prior to deletion. I haven't deleted the account yet however as I don't think private subs let you delete your comments. If you want recommendations for this Power Delete Suite is the easiest to use but may stop working with the API changes from what I've heard. Better Reddit Delete is one of many userscripts to delete your history. You will need a user script manager such as Greasemonkey for Firefox

Long term I plan to move some of my subs to RSS feeds from Teddit. I will likely also have Libreddit as a PWA on my phone with all of my existing communities added.

For the small amount of communities I interact with that I don't see moving to the Fediverse I'll access them through Old Reddit only. I'll likely make multiple accounts to separate interests and delete them / make new ones after a certain amount of time.

I deleted my various reddit accounts years ago, checked out Lemmy briefly and then kind of forgot it existed until recently. Of course I wouldn't say I have ditched Reddit completely since I deleted my accounts, as I have often used it for personal research purposes and will likely continue to do so. Though I suppose I could migrate to searching a Reddit data archive or something.

Done with it and deleted acct last week

I have. I have a lot of respect for Christian and his Apollo App. It was the only way I browsed Reddit. Also going forward, it will never be the same over there. I'm enjoying kbin so far though!

I have definitely been a lot more active around here. A lot of people talk about deleting their old accounts, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that to mine, not because I want to be active on Reddit, but just because there is a lot of history that I'm anxious about losing I guess.

Me, I'm here to stay.

I used Reddit exclusively through third party apps, without them I have no want to use the site anymore.

And with spez proving how much of a massive bellend he is, it only reinforces my decision.

I was a Reddit user for 9 years. I ditched it on TikTok to prove to people that they don't control you.
