Asklemmy

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

Yup girldick, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy and I'm happy!

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.

I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.

Can't enjoy browsing Reddit on mobile without RiF, and won't use Reddit on PC at all anymore out of principle.

long live lemmy

Yep, thats the plan anyways. I believe in free speech and, as a former Apollo and Joey user, I have zero tolerance for bullshit companies whose entire goal is to turn my words into training tools for AI in their pursuit of a multi billion dollar IPO.

If they want me back, they can pay me.

That being said, its looking like this transition may take awhile. Im not even sure if my ev, worldnews and other subs exist here yet.

But, its exciting times! Reminds me of the first time I posted to slashdot news back in 1999 and reddit back in 2012.

Edit - I also have a mastadon account, Salty Muskrat can eat it too.

A few of my communities have not migrated at all, so I check back there occasionally.

Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.

Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!

no doubt. fuck reddit

Not replacing it, I ditched reddit long ago (maybe 3 years ago). I am loving it.

I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.

Gonna be using both for a while I think. Stopped using reddit on my phone after the api changes forced 3rd party apps to shut down(RIP Sync for Reddit). Only using Reddit on my desktop, using Lemmy on both desktop and android (via LittOff for now, will switch once Sync for Lemmy is out!).

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

I will be if I can get a good app to use on my phone. I'd also love to see some qol features like RES offers for my browser. But I am enjoying it so far!

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

Already did

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

yep

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

What's a Reddit?

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

I’ve been strictly here and 4chan

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

I'm going the supplementation route for now. Reddit official app is not enjoyable to use. I currently have a work around for my 3rd party app of choice. If the work around ever fails and reddit doesn't improve their app, I'm hopeful Lemmy will grow enough in the meantime to fully fill the reddit void.

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.
