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.

My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.

I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.

I'd still rather be here than there.

I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?

[-] peepquinox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Technically you can access anything posted in either instance from either site. But I did the same thing before I understood federation, so don’t worry. You are not alone. Except maybe in a philosophical view.

[-] NocturnalNebula@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I see! Guess I need to read up on how federation works

Yeah, I hated reddit tho

[-] xaon_rider92@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.

[-] Moops@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.

[-] AnonStoleMyPants@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.

I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.

[-] nei7jc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.

[-] BatrickPateman@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

I am for sure. I just head over for one maybe two subs that I cannot replace (yet), and only once or twice a day (instead of constantly).

Besides that may random scrolling and news related needs are fully satisfied by lemme.

[-] ArmokGoB@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I bailed off of Reddit three months ago, after /r/Pathfinder2e started reaching peak echo chamber.

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't opened reddit in 4 days

[-] hungryghost@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I blocked myself from accessing reddit with LeechBlock, so yes, I am spending more time on Lemmy than reddit.

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

As for me I'm living here now. Just taking a few peeks at reddit to follow the whole api/blackout situation.

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.

[-] barnsbauer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.

Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.

[-] theothersparrow@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.

Probably not going back either.

[-] ThatGuyFromMichigan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same. Here to support the switch and growth. I’ll miss Reddit but current leadership clearly doesn’t care they are burning the site to the ground. Time for a change! Lemmy looks pretty promising so far.

[-] orientalsniper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This is my first message.

[-] ThatFunnyGuyver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.

[-] SuperBobby@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.

[-] spacehedgehog@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've just deleted my reddit account! :-)

Been lurking for a few days and finally decided to take the plunge. I actually prefer the design/UI of this site more than Reddit. Nice and clean.

I think the exodus thus far has been great. Was on Reddit for 12 years so it's a bittersweet feeling but the fact that the CEO has no qualms about catering to the users is pretty telling. Hope to engage in/foster some interesting discussions on here.

[-] PeanutJelly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, stopped using it before the blackouts, deleted my account and now I'm here..or on kbin. But Lemmy feels a bit more to my taste.

[-] TheConquerorWorm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I will until I run out of content here.

Rules (interactive)

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
