No Stupid Questions

Just joined Lemmy myself. Used a script to wipe all my content from 5 accounts. Plan to delete in July.

I'm only using Reddit for /r/soccer at the moment as the Fedi versions aren't very active unfortunately. But if they become more active or Reddit get rid of old Reddit then I'll be done completely.

My only issue with Lemmy at the moment is every other post is a out Reddit to the point I might aswell be on Reddit... Understandable why but would be nice to see other content

my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

Had my reddit account (rif) for 10 years. Slowly migrating (this is my first comment) and so far think it has lotsa potential.

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

I'm trying but it's pretty low quality stuff here

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. Nore specificslly the jerboa app on Android.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

Used Reddit everyday. Left last week. Lemmy everyday. Slowly subscribing to be subs as they appear. I get confused sometimes with the changes (subscribing, federation). The apps aren't as feature rich as the well matured 3rd party apps I was used to (losing my place when I nav away from app, can't find a post I was half way through reading. But I'm Happy. Oh yeah. I comment on Lemmy. Never really did that on Reddit.

I guess it's like I get to grow with the community, rather than crashing the party.

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

I’m trying to! Unfortunately I’m subbed to quite a few niche communities that haven’t quite gained traction over here yet and I don’t want to be the sole poster.

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

7 days no Reddit.

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

i was on reddit for 10 years. i've just started taking up lemmy and the 'fediverse'. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it's going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i'd otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. 'fediverse' is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.
