I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.

I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.

Yeah!

Yes I'd be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don't vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything.... Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.

The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can't bring about change. I hope you'll all stay too

For me it depends. I've deleted my Reddit account entirely. Gone with the wind! And I've registered a Lemmy account. Then I realized how much more life time I've have without Reddit. Later I've realized I miss some specialized subs for retro gaming here. This is a much bigger community on Reddit. But Lemmy is growing and I hope what I'm missing finds its way to the Fediverse soon.

Yesss

Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!

Yes, obviously.

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

Yeah! Fills my reddit void

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise

LLL

yes

I will stay if you all stay. The site we want is the one with the people. I got sick of talking to bots and seeing ads disguised as social commentary. I would love to have a place to learn and socialize without constantly being bought and sold.

I'm trying to but honestly its got so many problems.

• I often see random post appear on top because I'm guessing its a web socket connection and a recently post top decks due to the algorithm. It sometimes causes me to click on the wrong post.

• On the topic of wrong posts I often click on a post and get a different post than the one selected as though there is conflicting Id's.

• The back button is stopped by a dirty wisywig but it does not trigger an alert for loss of information so its effectively just disabled if your abandoning the post.

• The votes seems to randomly fluctuate.

• having to confirm a reply as read is super annoying.

• When I come to lemmy I have to change to top day or something otherwise I see the same posts over and over and there seems to be no way to set a different default

I will say that I am a software developer and happy to help fix some of these issues. At the moment because of federation I am unsure where to contribute but I definitely see no path forward for lemmy while these issues persist.

wefwef app is amazing so I am staying here

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

Yes

Yes

Yes

Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list... I think I'm there.

Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that's more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.

the Voyager PWA is a big part of why I'm staying. Good UX!

Yee

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

I think I've figured out Lemmy and this Fediverse thing. So with that, I'll be sticking around.

Hell yeah. I’m happy with Lenny so far and I think this will be a better Reddit in the future.

Haven't looked back. Im staying.

Leaving Reddit for sure. Lemmy is top candidate right now.

yes

Yes!

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

I'm liking it so far!

Absolutely! This place is fantastic!

Yea sure, if more people come and post more interesting content, then sure. I'm mostly a lurker, as I'm sure a lot of people are, so if the non-lurkers are posting content, then yeah, I'll stay.
