No reason to go anywhere

Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)

[–] mobley@ani.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.

[–] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah for the most part I have. There’s still a few things and reasons I’m still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on

[–] Msmagic1995@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over

[–] MortyMcFry@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Already done.

[–] mojo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good

I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.

The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have replaced it as my active site,

So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.

[–] mjbennison@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

[–] Bluefrog1313@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. 😝

[–] axus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance πŸ”°

These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

[–] vinzen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

[–] stink_pickle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, but I also use Squiggy too

[–] Taleq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Definitely. For now I just need Relay for Lemmy.

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.

[–] Atiran@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used β€œnew” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video
