No Stupid Questions

Yes.

I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

I've not been back to reddit once since I created my Lemmy account. I've googled some things which have only really yielded reddit links, however instead of going to reddit to get the answer, I've just asked my question on Lemmy.

I've just deleted my reddit account! :-)

I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn't seem to care about the protest.

For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that's something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren't active enough yet to stay up to date.

Using lemmy most of the time since the blackout. Kinda hard not to feel guilty now when I scrolled aimlessly on reddit. Now I only go there to find specific things. But ngl really miss having moment of discovery when I stumbled upon something while I browse reddit, since the amount of content here is limited.

Only open reddit by accident and muscle memory. Need to find time to read/save the "saved". Right after that will Art. 17 GDPR my account.

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 switched off reddit during the blackout and haven't really missed it (uninstalled from phone but not tablet yet), does appear in some searches. I heard the CeO interview on NPR over the weekend, so looking to delete my comments from most subs (some ask not to so will respect that) before deleting accounts.

World news and a finance subs I liked to contribute to but enjoying the break. Coding and Crafts I browse for ideas but sure something will appear eventually or not.

After signing up here I deleted my Reddit account. So yea :) It's really nice here, I hope it stays this way.

I've replaced the spot where Reddit Sync has been for like 10 years with a shortcut to Kbin. That said, I find myself browsing less as there's less content in the meantime. I try avoiding going to Reddit on my computer unless there's literally no other matching Google searches.

I hope we eventually get a lot of that random historical context and information reposted at some point onto any Lemmy instance.

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocker - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

I got b& in support of far right wing subs in the build up, but just in time to get a GDPR request in. But I can't make any new account easily without them banning that one also. They never told me this, that I was personally banned and could not make any new account, but any new account I make is soon after banned.

They don't want me there anymore, but they do want to keep my posts and opinions and personal information, for their exploitation and profit. I intend to maintain my b& accounts and document their infringements, such that they can be punsihed to the full extent of the law.

I've got kbin installed as a PWA in the same spot that I had Sync for Reddit. That takes care of the muscle memory thing. The only reason I look at Reddit these days is to see how the shitshow is going.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

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.

Me, I stopped browsing reddit actively unless trying to find an answer on Google.

I've spent FAR more time on kbin than I have reddit since the blackouts. I know the Relay app will be gone at the end of the month, so I figured I'd get a jump on trying to get used to another platform. I refuse to be forcefed ads, so there is no other option for me with reddit as a mobile user.

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.

Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.

Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do

Yes. It was pretty easy too. I didn't use the desktop version, but the Legere client instead. I just had to remove the Legere shortcut that I was used to click on when I was waiting for something to load. Now I never go to reddit on desktop. I still have Infinity on my phone but I don't like phone apps so It's just sitting there.

Now for meme-addict people Lemmy may seem a bit empty, but that's fine by me.

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

I've spent all my time between Lemmy and kbin.

It's been a lot of fun, and while I know it's a little fractured, it's been giving me a really great bit of variety

I deleted my reddit account, but I still skim reddit as a lurker for a handful of specific subreddits. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, I can slowly phase out the niche subreddit activity entirely. But I no longer spend my whole break at work doomscrolling.

Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.

I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.
