Asklemmy

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)

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!

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.

Subjectively it's getting exponentially more active every single day. Thats very promissing. I hope Meta does not kill the fediverse.

For now I do not have any problems with redundant communites. Time will tell how things scale up.

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.

Yes, but I also use Squiggy too

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

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 trying. Since boost stopped working. I have been on reddit twice. It's a painful shit experience now and I hate it.

But also. Lemmy isnt quite enough yet. But it's helping me stay off the web more.

FB sucks. Reddit sucks and lemmy isn't itching my need for information.

Oh well. :).

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.

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 registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.

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

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

Gonna be using both for a while I think. Stopped using reddit on my phone after the api changes forced 3rd party apps to shut down(RIP Sync for Reddit). Only using Reddit on my desktop, using Lemmy on both desktop and android (via LittOff for now, will switch once Sync for Lemmy is out!).

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.

Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!

I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

Yes

Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.

I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.

This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

Yes, fuck you spez
