Asklemmy

Every so often I'll glance at r/politics or r/worldnews since following the news was a big part of how I used reddit and Lemmy doesn't quite have the volume to replace it for that function yet. But as time goes on I'm finding Mastodon and Post to be almost just as good for news so I expect to cut out reddit completely before long. The vibe and overall feel is a breath of fresh air, I'm really liking it!

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

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.

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

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

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

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

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

Not entirely. There's a couple larger subreddits I enjoy and tbh it's still my go-to for doomscrolling.

However my desire to interact with reddit couldn't be any less. Zero desire to post or comment anything due to the sheer hostility of the site to it's users.

I think if lemmy continues to grow in userbase it could completely replace reddit, but not at this immediate moment.

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

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

Lenny?

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.

That's the goal, but it may not work in practice. I often used Reddit as a place for curated information. So a lot of Google searches like "wireguard server reddit" to get good no nonsense information. I think the lack of population and time could make it hard for Lemmy.ml to immediately replace Reddit for me, but I hope it will be successful. I'm ML ideology by nature so the idea of the Fediverse really appeals to me.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

Sure do.

I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!

I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
