Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.

I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.
I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.
I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn't around yet.
I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I'll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won't be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful
I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.
Who is Lenny?
Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.
Deleted my comments and account and now I'm here. Though Im kinda trying to get off social media and so I'm on lemmy sparingly. Trying to be more productive with my time.
yep
Interesting username lol
I use both side by side, I'm hoping for Lemmy to grow, but I know that in the near future Reddit will still continue to be active
Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.
Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.
Yup
I did
