Too late, my antenna dropped and my ears grew. I'm a lemmie now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

yes. reddit was a little bit of a bad habit for me, lemmy is a reddit-like fix where i’m more comfortable contributing rather than lurking.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes! I’ve been enjoying it so far and it seems to be growing nicely. I just have to get out of my lurker habit and post more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, Absolutely! I also plan on using shreddit once I can't use infinity anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah I'm stayin. Especially after reddit continued to dig in their heels

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Short term, definitely. Long term, how the hell should I know.

Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!

Yes, whatever happens in the other place I'll be staying here.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is my new home 😁

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

Time will tell, I like it atm.

Been looking for a viable alternative to reddit for a long time!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I patched my Sync for Reddit with Revanced, so I will use both reddit and Lemmy. I hope by the time Sync for Reddit becomes unusable due to the lack of updates that there will be a good community here, and then I will leave reddit for good.

Most likely yes! I'll still be keeping my Reddit account for a couple reasons though.

I'm loving Lemmy and planning to stay, it's been cool seeing so many new communities pop up and grow every day.

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?

I hope to. It's between this and my kbin account. I made an account on one of each before I realized they were interchangeable and you could see and interact with the one from the other.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe if they bring actual polls. I feel cheated after having clicked on a poll that was not, in fact, a poll

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I'll definitely be sticking around to see what happens with Lemmy. I may end up using kbin primarily but am very much interested in subscribing to Lenny communities across instances. It's been tremendous fun learning about the Fediverse and ActivityPub, and I also think that decentralization is a good response to what we have all witnessed with centralized social media

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes. Even if it dies, I'm done with Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

As I used reddit exclusively through Apollo, I think I will completely migrate to Lemmy. My only gripe is the subpar webapp (at least for me it gets stuck a lot)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It depends on the tech. I'm not convinced this form of federation is going to work. There's already a lot of tech issues being exposed and drama unfolding between the instances.

I also don't think it will see wide public adoption due to how segmented the communities are.

I hope these issues are resolved, and I'll try to stick it out here. I quit Twitter and am trying Mastodon and I'll do the same with reddit. I'm not willing to just sit by and watch corporations take over our society.

Yes in case of not going back to spez's playground.

Although Lemmy is written in Rust I think i will switch to Kbin.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, running a comment replacement on my 13 year old reddit account this weekend and deleting it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yea, I'm here to stay and help it grow. Reddit even before all this BS just felt...icky sometimes. Lemmy doesn't, and I'm loving the passionate people that are moving here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Lemmy needs a polling tool... I'm staying regardless 😏

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yes absolutely p

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Hell yeah. Got nothing to come back to anyway, so I'll stay here.
