Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.

Iβm fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.
Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.
Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.
I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.
Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and havenβt turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!
Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, havenβt used it since
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
So far yep! Why not?
Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?
Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
This is my first Lemmy comment ever!
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
Please dont tell anyone how I live
Other than some specific subs, yes
Well, this is nice, hello
Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement
TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.
Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.
Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.
100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now
If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.
I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.
I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.
Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...
I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.
Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.
Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.
I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.
I havenβt been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. Iβm done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.
Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.
Yes
Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.
Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.
But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.
Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.
I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.
This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.
I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
Yes I am
Trying to
with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me
