I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.

I intend to BUT ultimately the decision is on the mayority's preference

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.

I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

i'll stay on lemmy once more of the popular content extends beyond "lemmy vs reddit". I'm liking lemmy a lot and with better mobile apps, it'll encourage me to stay.

I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.

First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.

I'm never going back. I like Lemmy. I hope reddit dies a sad death. If Lemmy didn't exist, I probably wouldn't have left reddit. I see much higher quality content here.

Yes.

How are you counting the votes? Manually?

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

I was already on lemmy dammit

I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.

Definitely. I've gone all-in on the non-corp social media: Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, so far. This is a refreshing experience. I know that what I am shown has nothing to do with an algorithm designed to keep me engaged and looking at ads. LOL Social media run by people in the society, not corporations, is the water I put my boat into.

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise

LLL

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

As long as it doesn't devolve into a cesspool of "those types" of people, I'll probably stay around. Discoverability does need to improve, though

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

Not sure but I will be staying on a federated reddit-like site. I'm more leaning towards this over kbin though.

Will I ever go back to Reddit? Even if hell freezes, no.

Yes

I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.

Absolutely. I will never use Reddit again out of principle.

Yes!

Yes

Depends on the content, really.

I really hope this migrating-from-Reddit thing will work. I'd really like to stay.

I'm happy to give it a chance. I can't imagine Reddit will get better when they IPO

Yes, that's the plan. Regardless of the Reddit drama Lemmy started to grow on me.

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

Lemmy and Jerboa have really improved so much these last few days. I've already deleted my main account on reddit and I just use my secondary one to try and spread the word about lemmy and kbin.

I do not have much of a choice in this. No matter how good or bad Lemmy is, Reddit is not an option anymore for me: I do not want my data to get monetized. I should own the comments I write, not them. Also, the recent events really showed that Reddit administration board cannot be trusted: continuing to use Reddit would be silently supporting their behavior, which I just can't.

So far I like what I'm seeing in Lemmy. Yes, it's not as good as Reddit used to be, but I am sure that with time it will be similar to what I was experiencing. And I'm enjoying it already.

Yes, yes I think I will.

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

I certainly hope so. While I can't look into the future, I haven't been feeling the need to return to reddit at all, and I have hopes for Lemmy - if it continues to grow without devolving into some bot-infested, right-wing mess or something.

For now though, I'm definitely hopeful. The announcement of the Sync and Slide apps gives me a positive outlook here!

Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.
