Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The challenge is that Reddit isn't just one community, it's a collection of lots of communities.
For stuff like random tech news and commentary, I'm already 100% happy with Lemmy. You don't need a huge community for people to post reviews of the latest gadgets and discuss them.
While I'm still boycotting Reddit, what I miss the most is some of the smaller communities, the ones that are only possible when you have millions of total users. Stuff like hyperlocal subreddits (there's not just one for my city, there's one for my NEIGHBORHOOD within my city), subreddits specifically for every one of my favorite TV shows, authors, and musicians, and subreddits for more niche topics I'm into like music theory or 3-D printing.
I'm trying to spend time on Lemmy hoping to build up the critical mass there. I'm starting with more mainstream topics that are likely to grow and attract a following, but what I'm really hoping for are the more niche ones.
I’d like to spend more time here but every click is so slow to load. When I post comments it just spins forever and I have to leave and just hope it went through. Here goes…
I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.
Haven't been back to reddit, no
The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.
This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.
Thanks for curing my addiction spez!
I’m enjoying it more than I thought
I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.
Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.
Since I deleted my reddit account, yes.
As of now, yeppp
I quit reddit. It feels nice. Lemmy feels less toxic.
I haven't cut Reddit out completely, as much as I dislike the organisation, I did enjoy the community and it'll still be a huge source of information for a while yet. But once RIF stops working I won't be using my phone anymore, just my PC. Lemmy is growing and it's fun to witness it
i barely use reddit nowadays. I still miss my niche communities but to offset the lack of variety, it feels like the content here is of higher quality
Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.
My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.
I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.
I'd still rather be here than there.
I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?
Technically you can access anything posted in either instance from either site. But I did the same thing before I understood federation, so don’t worry. You are not alone. Except maybe in a philosophical view.
I see! Guess I need to read up on how federation works
I've been bouncing between them when kbin is having server issues. That's another plus to the fediverse, if one instance is down you just log in to another.
I am
Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.
I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.
Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.
I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.
I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.
Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.
I blocked myself from accessing reddit with LeechBlock, so yes, I am spending more time on Lemmy than reddit.
