I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Already did

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.

On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.

[–] HikerAdam 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.

Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm about 80% over to Lemmy myself. There's enough content here that I can doomscroll memes to my heart's content now. Reddit, I still end up on on my PC for a few more niche subreddits. Mobile though, I'm just sticking to wefwef/Lemmy until a good GTK client for Lemmy is available (both good options are still in beta right now).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

In starting to, but it's more like the old days now where I'll go to my list of cool sites and only if all those run out and I'm bored enough to doomscroll will I visit the R.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Who's Lenny? I'm waiting for Sync.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Now I just wish Lemmy can come up in my Google search when I search for reviews. Right now that is still Reddit's territory and no Lemmy at all. Lemmy should really improve it's SEO to not only makes using it with search engines easier, it can also help new users discover this platform.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Now that I’ve got an app on my phone, 100%. Reddit is just an ad platform these days. It’s sad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've basically left reddit for good. There's some thing I miss there but in general Lemmy fills that void enough that I don't have the urge to go back anymore. If I end up scrolling less because of smaller amount of content then good.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. The Reddit BS was too much for me, and lemmy has been great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Im using this ios app Memmy. It reminds me so much of Apollo. Now just need to give some so all the communities switch to lemmy. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

This is my first acc on lemmy, so yes, I do want to move to... Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.

I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.

Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Sure am. Been using Lemmy exclusively (shoutout to Memmy) for the past 3 weeks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, deleted my Reddit account

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly, yeah.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm trying to, but I miss NSFW content here

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I would like to, but let's be real, i had a question about a game today and i went to Reddit because that game deosn't have a Lemmy community.

Reddit has more people, more content, and more history. Only an actual collapse will make Lemmy a superior alternative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

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.
