Asklemmy

yep, feels like old reddit and i'm so so happy!

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

Reddit has become so bad lately that I am trying to. Still a few smaller communities I am missing though sadly.

I have half replaced Reddit with the Fediverse and half replaced it with this exciting new discovery I made of this thing called called IRL™.

Mostly, but not entirely.

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!

I'm mostly using Lemmy, but I still use reddit for some things where the lemmy communities are too small (like live sports discussion). If I'm googling for an answer to something I'll still include 'reddit' in the search because there is a huge wealth of info in past reddit threads.

From what I understand I can subscribe and engage with just about any compatible fediverse website thing in a sort of generic reddit/Twitter environment, right? I don't think I really have to make this choice, just kind of poke around and curate my home page while the app developers work on ease of use and the fediverse itself works on communication and tutorials for people like me (people who fall up stairs)

Edit: I am transitioning away from reddit the vibe sucks and the ads are a joke

I deleted my reddit account (and all my content beforehand) so yeah...still looking around for matching communities though.

I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.

Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.

I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.

Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.

Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.

(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit 😀)

now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.

Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.

I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.

I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.

I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.

Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.

If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!

For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.

If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.

Simply yes. Not going back

I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs though…

Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.

Absolutely. Deleted account.

Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.

Yes, I just recently created my Lemmy account and had to answer a question like "why did you choose this username".

What did you answer, OP?

I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.

Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.

I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.

I’m here 99.9999% of the time

Currently going back and forth because there are still some subreddits that don't have an active community.

Hopefully, soon most if not all niche I follow will have a dedicated community here.

Also, still waiting for a better mobile client (excited for boost for lemmy and relay for lemmy).

Definitely. I don't plan on downloading the official Reddit app anytime soon and for years I have been more of a lurker on Reddit but I am trying to break that and participate more on Lemmy. Really enjoying it so far.

I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.
