Asklemmy

Absolutely. Fuck ads.

LENNNNNYYYYYYYYYY

I replaced reddit sync with jerboa and the only time I bother with reddit now is if I'm googling "[question] reddit" or for /r/popheads

I have started the switch, but like others have said Reddit still has a lot of content. I am hoping that more people make the switch to Lemmy over time.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That's a good question, but I'm not sure I'd wanna do that.

I am trying to lower my use of Reddit and increase my use of Lemmy.

One thing I would really like to be accepted (since its already in the proposals on Github) is to have multiple communities that have same topic somehow be joined and their news aggregated together.

I'll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.

So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.

Just started Lemmy today. Any good recommendations for gaming sci-fi nerds to sub to?

My app for Reddit stopped working, so yeah, hahah. New reddit is useless and old reddit for me constantly gets redirected to new reddit, so I haven't even bothered trying to get back in. My subs here are already filling with content often and it feels like reddit before it swelled up with too many people. I liked reddit back when I could actually talk to subreddit regulars.

Yes. I left after the protests began and realized most of the posts were just a competition of who could make the wittiest or funniest comments regardless of the subject. I think the killing of Bacon Reader put the last nail in the coffin for me on mobile as well.

I dipped out when I heard about the protests last month. I've noticed reddit getting worse and worse and this is what I needed to stop using it.

Occasionally I still have to view reddit posts for troubleshooting/reviews as theres not a site quite like it. Even then, I usually keep the search results to last to make sure no where else has good input.

Yep.

I'm always skeptical when a huge mass of users needs to move, and I saw what happend when Ellen Pao did her rounds. There were small attempts to threat about moving, but there was nothing to really move to.

This time it's way different.

• Lemmys place seems to actually be mature enough to help refugees move with more confidence.
• Spez royaly screwing up so bad in an AMA and showing where their loyalty lies.
• The posts/discussions are at a level now that will attract users to stay and make better long term decisions if they wanna lurk/contribute.

I moved when Digg went down because we got shown that we are a product.

I moved now because Reddit/"Fuck /u/spez" showed us that we are a product

We are better than that and if I can see spez go down in flames, with an IPO that gets shown what happens when you disregard what makes your "product" valuable...

I am a lemming!!

Until AskHistorians moves Ill still be using reddit. I make a point to use LibReddit instead of the actual site though.

I'm trying. I've moved over here for the most part, but there are a handful of Reddit subs that I enjoy that don't really have similar communities on Lemmy. I'm subscribed to those subs in my RSS reader now, so I don't actually have to open Reddit unless I come across a post where I want to see the comments.

So far I'm liking it. I wasn't fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I'm seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.

I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don't feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.

Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!

who's lenny ? homer's friend ?

Yes, like many many others. For me, Baconreader was Reddit. Once that stopped working, I left Reddit.

I wonder how many people have 1st July as their Lemmy "cake day".

Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.

Im trying. But, for the love of god, i cant seem to understand how all this works.

yep, feels like old reddit and i'm so so happy!

From what I understand I can subscribe and engage with just about any compatible fediverse website thing in a sort of generic reddit/Twitter environment, right? I don't think I really have to make this choice, just kind of poke around and curate my home page while the app developers work on ease of use and the fediverse itself works on communication and tutorials for people like me (people who fall up stairs)

Edit: I am transitioning away from reddit the vibe sucks and the ads are a joke

99% so far. I rarely open Reddit at all aymore.

Yeah I refuse to use their trash app

Reddit has become so bad lately that I am trying to. Still a few smaller communities I am missing though sadly.

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

Mostly, but not entirely.

I'm currently about 90% Lemmy, 10% Reddit for general topics, mostly still hanging on to Reddit for specific games that I haven't found out here yet.

I'm mostly using Lemmy, but I still use reddit for some things where the lemmy communities are too small (like live sports discussion). If I'm googling for an answer to something I'll still include 'reddit' in the search because there is a huge wealth of info in past reddit threads.

now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.

I’m here 99.9999% of the time

I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs though…

Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.
