already deleted my account, there is no going back.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm fragmenting time between reddit, kbin, lemmy, and squabbles.

I only have a couple more weeks that I'll get to use reddit. The official app is trash, and I'm a 100% mobile user - so when my app dies I'm done there...

I'm waiting for one of these platforms to make a good app and I'll settle there, but until then I'll fragment my time.

I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.

I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.

Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I will be using both until rif shuts down, but only to support / upvote posts and comments about the death of Reddit.

My many year old Reddit account is gone, and I spun up a new Reddit account that is essentially a throwaway referencing the death of Reddit.

I want to make sure this isn't just a two-day and done issue. I feel this is the death of Reddit, the same as it was the death of Digg.

I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.

I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Use both.

Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically: -New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, β€œless it’s more”, so..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.

Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.

Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.

One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm here now. Reddit is just bots and repeat content. Most of it will find its way over here at some point. The stuff that stays? Eh, probably not worth it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

@zinklog I'm on reddit and my app will work even after the pricing kicks in (RedReader). But I am happy many communities moved here - they make my fediverse experience more interesting.

I try not to keep myself captive from one server so I follow communities from a variety of Lemmy servers, as well as on other platforms like Kbin, guppe, chirp.social, Friendica, Lotide etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I use one of the dying 3rd party apps. Once it dies on the 30th I'm out. I may log in on occasion on old.reddit in the future on my PC but on mobile I'll be done. Or possibly when I'm searching for something on my browser and reddit results come up. But adblockers there mean no money for reddit and definitely no engagement as I'll just be looking for an answer and leaving.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.

I've also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don't think would ever migrate somewhere else because it's too niche, but other than that I'll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

i wanna be here 100%, but if i have specific questions already answered on reddit (most of the time), i tend to go there, will be hard x.x

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here
