I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

[-] Nomad7824@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This is a clever solution to getting all the help from reddit's repository of knowledge without actually visiting the site, well done!

[-] nephs@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

[-] bezerker03@lemmy.bezzie.world 3 points 2 years ago

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

[-] MrCenny@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. Nore specificslly the jerboa app on Android.

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

[-] Snowpix@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

[-] Oberlander@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

[-] Tygr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

[-] Lemvi@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

You can also browse Lemmy aimlessly on your phone. The app is called "Jerboa for Lemmy". And yes, I just switched too. So far I like Lemmy, I see myself migrating here permanently.

[-] Brenda_babylon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

[-] erezac@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.

[-] Dickbutt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

[-] OptimusPrime@lemmy.moonling.nl 3 points 2 years ago

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

[-] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Haven't been on reddit since this started. Deleted my account and wont be back

[-] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[-] gamebuster@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

[-] FleaCatcher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

[-] BlendedRacer@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

[-] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

[-] AnAverageSnoot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

[-] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Haven't been back to reddit, no

[-] zombuey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

[-] thesanewriter@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

That's... why I'm here.

[-] HRDS_654@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.

[-] freebrick@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

[-] pyyp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!

I'm on reddit some, but less and less.
