Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. 😝

Yeah for the most part I have. There’s still a few things and reasons I’m still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on

yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over

I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.

Already done.

Boost stopped working

This works great

No reason to go anywhere

I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now

Yup.

What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.

Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.

Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.

The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.

trying

No, but i spend a lot less time in Reddit since using Lemmy

I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.

Mostly

A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.

I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.

As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted or ignored, but I am not replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I'm using them both, except on my phone. There, I no longer use Reddit due to the need for the official app.

Lemmy has done a great job in a short time and it has a lot of awesome energy, but it doesn't have the user base to support interesting discussions in niche subjects that I care about, or be a source of information in those. I doubt it ever will, although I'm rooting for it.

If I scroll through Lemmy in my subs or in c/all, I see three things:

• Memes
• Anti-Reddit brigading
• Shitposts

I love me some memes, and Lemmy is actually better than Reddit right now for those, but if I want information, I can't get it on Lemmy. I might be able to get tech news, but I have RSS / Hacker News / Slashdot for that.

As an example, I'm switching from Evernote to Obsidian for note-taking and it's a pain in the ass. Reddit has an 80k user subreddit for Obsidian, where within 10 minutes, somebody solved my problem. That kind of thing is never going to happen on Lemmy.

Not by itself, no.

My current replacements for reddit are:

1. A kbin account for serious-posting
2. This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
3. Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
4. (Eventually) an RSS reader
5. Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results

I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

I have stopped using Reddit as a place to waste time and doom scroll, but I am not really looking for a full replacement. I'm have started using multiple platforms to fill my time now. For news and current events I have started using RSS again. I spend a decent amount of time on Mastodon. Lemmy has been a great link aggregator and the growing community is making it feel like a great Reddit replacement, im just not putting all my eggs in one basket.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

Yep, thats the plan anyways. I believe in free speech and, as a former Apollo and Joey user, I have zero tolerance for bullshit companies whose entire goal is to turn my words into training tools for AI in their pursuit of a multi billion dollar IPO.

If they want me back, they can pay me.

That being said, its looking like this transition may take awhile. Im not even sure if my ev, worldnews and other subs exist here yet.

But, its exciting times! Reminds me of the first time I posted to slashdot news back in 1999 and reddit back in 2012.

Edit - I also have a mastadon account, Salty Muskrat can eat it too.

I'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.

Haven’t been on Reddit at all since Apollo shut down. Lemmy is my new home!

I stopped using reddit on the 9th of June. There were 1.21k total users on .world. At the time there were around the same number on beehaw, and they were still federated. There were 1.6k total users on .ml and no other federated instances had more than a few hundred total users. There were maybe a dozen total communities with anything resembling daily posts. I was willing to try to drop reddit at this point and started posting a bunch hoping it would grow. I claim no credit, and and no impact whatsoever. I'm just thrilled you are all here, and to those that are just migrating, this place is better than reddit ever was. Posting about reddit is just a part of the breakup process, but you'll move on quickly.

You are still the core community here. Don't wait for someone else to start posting. This place will continue to grow with or without you. Your core interests and niche communities can grow even faster than they have so far, the only person holding you back is you. Post about stuff as much as possible. Ask questions, vote, and be positive. It really makes a difference. This place is all about you, us, and our community, so share and be a part of this thing!
