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.

[–] Glemek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking I'll stop in, in like a week or so, but before sync shuts down and see about what I want to salvage.

Probably will also backup my reddit account and delete from the web version at some point in july once most of the 3rd party apps are shut down maybe sooner.

Might continue to use reddit as an accountless lurker on the web version occasionally, but I am taking this as a change to lower my overall social-media-on-my-phone-aimlessly time.

I think I’ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

I'm just going to have my lemmy shortcut and app next to my reddit ones and keep going to lemmy first. I feel as more people come online here eventually the reddit usage will taper off as it becomes redundant.

[–] TragicMagic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

Deleted my Reddit account for nearly 2 years already and never felt better. I was just reading through old.reddit so far.

Here I’ve only spent 1-2 times a month reading and posting basically because I don’t understand it that much yet and didn’t get used to it; on initial usage, I could only say the content’s not the same as Reddit but that could be just an issue on my side because I’ve subscribed to some weird stuff…

Lemmy has potential, the more users would join I think it would become even better, however it’ll make it harder for moderators as a large flock of bots would have to be filtered

[–] Sludgerunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'll stick around. I went to reddit today and it's a fucking saltmine over there. People here are much more chill.

[–] savoy@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I've been here for years already, but I'm still going to be checking Reddit. There are subs there that either don't exist here (r/TaylorSwift - yes, really) or have a close-knit community that I can't see moving to lemmy anytime soon (r/greyhounds), or exist but are really just something like placeholders but where I get tons of aggregated news where an RSS would be ridiculous to curate (r/soccer and r/liverpoolfc).

[–] coffeetest@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] vetramiga@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

honestly, if Sync and old are both dying, I'm just gonna go without. I have built up so many tools and extensions to avoid ads being shoved in my face constantly on the internet, it's not worth it. probably should get back to reading more books instead of fucking scrolling constantly.

[–] query@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely stay. Haven't left reddit, but I want to see all the same communities here that I had there whether or not they return. Also betting on the software and algorithms here improving, having posts update more often, but not have the page auto-refresh which seems to be a bug.

Also just had a bug where it was the wrong post I found myself in while typing the comment. Although the other comments below were for the correct one, so I'm guessing that's an issue with what's being loaded within the page rather than the page itself being wrong.

I’m a mod in a small handheld emulator community. I’m not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but we’ll see what they other guys do. As for me, I’ll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.

[–] BadgerBadgerBadger@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I'll be staying here, I quite reddit a while back and I prefer the fediverse to the corporate hellsites

[–] bimmer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna use both until I find more meme groups here tbh

[–] jimrob4@midwest.social 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] audi6x9@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year 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

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 1 year 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.

I'm giving lemmy a good try. Interface seems nice, I like the federated nature of it, we can only hope that we get more users, so I'll stick it out and see if the users come (and they should)

[–] PurrJPro@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Will probably use Reddit every now and again but Lemmy has been a MUCH more pleasent experience overall, I can't see Reddit becoming nearly as nice

[–] destructdisc@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

Probably use both, tbh. Lemmy has a ways to go in terms of the smoothness of the whole experience BUT I'm sure it's going to get way better, and at some point I look forward to being able to drop Reddit almost entirely.

[–] sabriy01@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer use both because i liked Lemmy
