I'm on both, but I'll stop using reddit when I can't use sync anymore.

I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then Iβm fully out. Iβve already deleted posts.
Donβt make me go back there!
I'm stubborn enough not to.
Maybe I'll go to swipe some content to repost and hopefully continue to build the communities up here.
But just like with my migration from Twitter to Mastodon, there ain't no way I'm going back now.
I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!
I'm gonna stay here unless I hear there are changes. I only use Joey for Reddit, and if they take it away I'll only go via web searches, where some niche info is buried in a 10 yr old reddit post.
Stay here, might be that I land on Reddit when googling stuff but I'll look for news, memes etc. here.
Being mostly a lurker it's going to depend mostly by the content.
But that's what I'm starting to like about Lemmy. Being in my 40s i've had my share of newsgroups, bulletin boards, forums,... And at the end Reddit.
A big plus is/was that nearly anything you can think of is on Reddit. But that's also the downside of it. You just don't know where to start sometimes.
That's great about Lemmy. You have instances where you can start and that can have a focus on specific topics. A tech instance, a science instance, a country instance,... You can just open the community lust there and see straight away what they have to offer.
It's like it's a mix of the old newsgroups with forums with Reddit.... I love it.
Use both, cannot entirely abandon reddit just yet
Staying here for sure
Lemmy all the way, all Reddit accounts I had since the Digg days have been deleted but not before I replaced all posts and comments with gibberish. Scorched Earth
I'm likely going to stick with Lemmy regardless of how Reddit steers course. I love that it's "by the people," and I don't mind the smaller community.
Plus, I'm old enough now that I'm getting used to moving on to "the next" online community.
My account on Reddit is almost 12 years old now, and I've been ready for a change, so while I'm not going to delete my reddit account, I'll certainly not be browsing it over the fediverse.
I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part
Same here ..... but I felt like a crack addict living a habit .... I kept logging on with my app or my computer checking on Reddit to see what people were saying or doing.
Finally realized that I wasn't helping the cause .... so I deleted my app on my android (sync) and deleted all the Reddit history and data on my PC.
I had about a six hour hang over wondering what to do .... then I realized I had signed on with Lemmy and Mastodon and learned how to use those instead.
It felt like how I felt when I first joined Reddit
It's like a while new world and I love it
Never going back to the other guy
I still have my reddit account, because I need to backup some stuff, might check it tomorrow, then delete it and focus on Lemmy
If things keep improving and growing the way they are I'll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I'll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.
I'll stay here
just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.
Both kinda, if RIF is gone I'll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.
Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.
I'll be using both - Reddit because of habit, and mostly to just lurk. I won't upvote/downvote or contribute anything - it can't be debated that it's still a treasure trove of knowledge. But I'll be actively contributing here on Lemmy for sure because I want this to be the next home :)
@zinklog I'm staying on Fedi
And use Reddit to read communities which aren't here but never really post anything there.
I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.
That official app is never touching my phone though.
i'v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account
I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.
Staying here for sure
i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics
I'll mainly stay here and contribute content to Lemmy. But I'll probably go back for a few specialty subs. e.g. r/HFY
I'm going to use both. I will leave redit as soon as the Turkish community grows.
Now that I'm more comfortable with Lemmy, I'm enjoying it more. I'll probably browse reddit from time to time, but I'd like to make this my new home.
I'd also like to see what this place can be when everyone is talking about something besides reddit.
My only complaint thus far is the communities on separate instances I've subscribed to still say "subscription pending," so I can't see them on the mlem app.
Edit: Actually, it appears I can see them. The "subscribe pending" just seems to be some kind of error.
Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.
Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.
Just joined a few minutes ago, i used Mastadon before but didn't it like it, feels stiff (i never was a Twitter user) but this is easier to use since i have been using Reddit for a while, but i don't quite understand where i search for communities, what app do you all use?
Personally, while I've decided to stay off Reddit for the foreseeable future, I am gonna hop back on here and there to more or less finalize my stuff there. My "cakeday" is in a week or so, so I figure that's a good final day to say goodbye.
My soft timeline is to stay off for the year and see where things stand then.
I'm having fun here but will be glad to maybe have useful results for my obscure tech support googling again
If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way
The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.
