As for me I'm living here now. Just taking a few peeks at reddit to follow the whole api/blackout situation.

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.

I'm not a twitter user I've always liked reddit lemmy is reddit but without the ads
I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.
Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.
I still lurk on Reddit because there's not enough content on here to keep me satisfied. Also I'm finding it hard to find stuff I like, I wish the interface was more similar to old Reddit.

I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.
Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.
Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.
Probably not going back either.
I jumped to lemmy the day of or the day before the blackout began, and moved to Kbin shortly after. Since then, I think I tapped into Reddit a total of 5-or-so times to check out solutions to web searches without bothering to log in. Three of of those times just led to a private subreddit, so I just backed out and looked elsewhere.
For my usual news binge, Kbin (& Lemmy), has more than sufficed. The fediverse has quickly made abandoning reddit pretty trivial for me.
I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it's hard to break the habit, lol.
Yeah, I hated reddit tho
I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.
For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.
This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.
Yes, but only because installing Leechblock to try and reduce time wasting on Reddit and Youtube happened to coincide with this whole Reddit thing, and I haven't blocked Lemmy yet :)
I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.
My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.
I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!
Been lurking for a few days and finally decided to take the plunge. I actually prefer the design/UI of this site more than Reddit. Nice and clean.
I think the exodus thus far has been great. Was on Reddit for 12 years so it's a bittersweet feeling but the fact that the CEO has no qualms about catering to the users is pretty telling. Hope to engage in/foster some interesting discussions on here.
I was, then I wasn't, but only because my Reddit is curated with over a decade of finding the subs I like.
However, I'm still slowly trying to find and curate my Lemmy experience, which I expect will pickup even more steam once 3rd Party API's get shut down the end of this month.
It's not even just a matter of principle, the Reddit official app is terrible, which is almost funny since I loved AlienBlue.
I will until I run out of content here.
This is my first message.
I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.
I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.

Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.
Just signed up and still exploring. Hopefully I will spend more time on here than Reddit though.
I'm fully onto Lemmy from Reddit now. I'm spending a lot more time here. Quality of posts is better and more interesting. This is where the smart people go.
Also Lemmy is greatly smaller and has a strong community feel. Lemmy is going to grow fast after Reddit kills off mobile apps, but hopefully it can retain the community feel.
Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do
I signed up today but have been using Beehaw as well since the blackouts. I’ve been on Reddit since 2010 so this was a bit of an adjustment but one I’m happy to make. All I’m really looking for is good discussion and links to current tech/hockey/games news similar to old school forums.
As the community continues to grow Reddit will be relegated to being in the rearview like MySpace. The soul of Reddit has felt differently to me for some time now and what spez has pulled over the last few weeks was the final nail in the coffin.
I barely even used Reddit in the first place... but I did find myself spending more time on Mastodon than Twitter after the whole Elon thing happened. Noticeably less toxicity in the places I hang out in. Even went as far as to wipe my account clean with a service so I'm not contributing any content to them, but keep my handle so nobody can steal it from me and say things.
Since uninstalling rif from my phone and installing jerboa I use Lemmy much more
More. Now I'm in two Lemmy instances and posting regularly on Trust Cafe, Jimmy Wales' new joint that's in beta. I love it, it's three breaths of fresh air at once and I'm feeling lightheaded.
Time will tell honestly, i hope we get something else working, because i get a deep pit in my stomach everytime i hear of the shit the reddit admins are pulling rn.
