Hey all. I’m a recent reddit refugee and the /r/Brisbane sub is the one I’m gonna miss the most. It would be nice to make this community just as vibrant!

Anyone else here leaving reddit permanently? Or just trying this fediverse thing out?

Very keen to settle somewhere where American "community standards" aren't enforced to the detriment of all other cultures.

Hi! Ex /r/brisbane mod here, now with a permanently deleted reddit account! I admin a lemmy instance, so I'm not going anywhere. The threadiverse is my home now

I did 99% of my reddit browsing through third party apps and I don’t really want to use their app based on the mobile website experience.

Permanently left Reddit after years of use. I used Rif. It was Reddit. I overwrote all my comments and deleted the accounts over Reddit's behaviour. Not going back. I've increased my RSS feeds to cover some of the subs I was on Reddit for, and using site aggregators to get headlines. Posting on Lemmy to help build Lemmy and a community. That's all Reddit was. People posting links and comments.

Yeah very similar here, the bris sub and a handful of others will be my most missed, and looking very likely I will delete my Reddit account soon! Trying to wrap my head around all this, but getting there.

I'm wanting to leave reddit because it's not going to be the same after this. I love reddit but it has been declining and this new change is just the nail in the coffin. I'm struggling to use Lemmy / the fediverse though. There's quite a learning curve for those of us who aren't great with tech stuff. Plus all of my communities are still on reddit and haven't made the jump to Lemmy. It's just frustrating all round and I wish reddit could go back to what it was.

Same here, though for me Apollo = Reddit. My current plan is to delete Reddit apps from my phone and only visit on desktop occasionally. With ad blockers it should be tolerable but I'm not sure I can stand to be part of Reddit from an ethical standpoint. Here's hoping Lemmy can scratch the itch.

where can I buy a black audi

Probably not from that user (whom I like) as they posted a meme mocking the protest
