Reddit

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.

Five.

I switched and in the end that's all that matters, you're welcome everyone

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.

I did after almost 12yrs. Haven't looked back

I'm here. I miss some of the smaller communities I used to be apart of. I go back if someone sends me a link, unless it's NSFW. I don't have the app, so I just tell people I can't see that link anymore. shrug

My Reddit account is there laying dormant, I've signed out and don't even look at the moderation queue.

I still use both, I'll pop on Lemmy at the start and end of a day to see what is going on, but still use Reddit just because it has so much more content. Plus it's the "home" of several manga communities I can't find anywhere else except Discord, and I'm not a fan of Discord anymore due to the Skype-esque bloat. I did however delete all my comments and relegate my account to purely lurking status, nor do I upvote or downvote anything on Reddit as well.

I did! I only end up back there if I'm searching for something like a tech problem and reddit is the only place my particular issue was discussed.

Yep and I haven't missed it.

i did

I left as soon as the news dropped, didn't wait for it to happen.

I'm about 1% as active on Reddit as I used to be. I unsubbed from most of the subreddits I used to follow. I only stick around for a few communities that haven't moved to other platforms, but I make an effort to not comment or post nearly as often as before.

Crazy what happens when you kill the tool that 99% of my use of your platform was done through, huh, Spez?

+1

Count me in.

Me too

I'm one, but Lemmy doesn't have it. Idk if it is the hot or top algorithm, the development of mature communities, or moderation of the communities, but Lemmy doesn't engage me like Reddit does. I moved on from reddit, but Lemmy is much less engaging.

Instead of using Reddit's site, I opted to use Libdirect which redirects you to privacy respecting front-ends instead of Reddit's website. It's kinda handy once you figure out some instances, the downside is that some instances are down and you need to take the time pinging those instances if they are working.

Here's the current use-case for me: I'll type reddit.com/r/privacy on my browser but then the extension will find the working instance you set and will completely redirect you to https://l.opnxng.com/r/privacy.

The only problem for this one is that you can't really comment to those questionable takes on r/unpopularopinion lol

Does it count people banned from Reddit?

I dropped reddit years ago. I'm currently on lemmy. So I didn't drop reddit for lemmy, but I did used to use reddit and am now a user here.

I've tried many of the alternatives but most of them were ended up pretty bad. Lemmy shows promise but is pretty reddit-y and I think over time it's basically going to become a big circle-jerk just like reddit. It's decent-ish for now though.

The only thing I go on Reddit for now at the moment is to browse their comic sub once every now and then.

But that's not completely dropping Reddit. Because Lemmy/Kbin is still in its early stages there'll be a lot of people who spend most of their time here but occasionally go to Reddit for that one sub or for some particular thing that's not quite made it here yet.

I did. Add 1 to your count.

I use both but my Reddit usage is down. There are communities there that don’t have a replacement here yet

I am still lurking at reddit from time to time. But my account got permanently suspended because mods over there are wankers. So... sort of.

Me

I use it for one of the niche communities I usually went to. But other than that, I stopped voting other subs. So much rage bait and bigotry. It's only gotten worse since people started leaving. I just instantly go to the sub I want, check out some posts, which sometimes only take about a minute, and then leave.
