I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.

Time will tell. Digg was great until it wasn't. Reddit killing my favorite app of 10+ years can fuck off (long live Bacon Reader). Lemmy by design is fragmented which is great, but will introduce momentum problems. Really it's going to come done to; Is their a Lemmy app and server that I can encapsulate most of my interests into and be able to ignore the rest?

I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

I think so. It was hard to leave reddit at first, I didn't realize how hooked into that ecosystem I was. Now that there are more people interacting with Lemmy and more communities popping up, I think I'll continue to stick around. Lemmy does seem to be turning the corner from reddit bashing into its own environment, which is refreshing.

Lemmy seems promising, its rough around the edges and needs work, but so was Digg when I first joined and the same with Reddit. It seems like the Lemmy developers and the iOS developers (I'm sure the same with Android, but I only have iOS devices) are working hard on both bug fixes and quality of life updates, which is encouraging.

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

Yes, obviously.

Yeah! Fills my reddit void

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise

LLL

Time will tell, I like it atm.

Been looking for a viable alternative to reddit for a long time!

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

Slick interface. Text-heavy. OG Redditors.

I’ll stay for sure if it picks up.

I feel so let down by Reddit. I had two accounts with a combined Karma of 800k. I only posted original content. I posted thousands of comments. Reddit was an ingrained part of my daily life for years.

Then both accounts were permanently suspended immediately after I called out a bot phishing scam. Two appeals rejected. I was gutted. Still am.

Reddit is hedging everything on AI / LLM populating the entire site. Who needs human content creators anymore?

So, yeah. If Lemmy grows, I’ll be arguing, trolling, and jesting here for many years to come.

YES

Yes

Depends on the content, really.

I really hope this migrating-from-Reddit thing will work. I'd really like to stay.

Yes, absolutely. The community over here is 110% better than reddit ever was.

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.

yes

Definitely staying!

Yes

Maybe, if the people stay but it's unlikely I'll go back to reddit

Yes

Yes

I really like Lemmy as a platform, but I still keep going to Reddit a bit because that's where people are. Particularly local communities haven't been interested in moving.

Lemmy does not have ads and pop ups to force you download an app. So big yes for

I like the idea of the fediverse but seemed confusing when I tried looking into mastadon (maybe cause I don't use Twitter so I don't get the concept). Lemmy just feels right and intuitive

Yes

Lemmy is a game changer for me. First couple of days were confusing, but after adding a slew of communities that resembles my reddit subscription list... I think I'm there.

Now its more of the niche subs that I hope will grow into its own. More specific game communities are needed, because that's more or less the only reason I have to go back to reddit.

With the dumpster fire that is Twitter, and now Reddit, more than ever there's a need for decentralization. At this point, it's not a matter of if, but when a company will turn on itself to make a profit. What made Reddit Reddit, are the communities. While Reddit actually hosts the service, that's pretty much the only contribution to its existence I've seen. I used the webpage when on a PC, but I refused to use the official app. I've decided to bite the bullet and delete my Reddit accounts, because that's the only real way to make a statement, not blacking out subreddits for a few days. They don't care about that. It's just a drop in the ocean. But deleting (user) accounts, that's sending out a clear message. Lemmy continuing to grow and attract content creators, moderators, and posters will make it more vibrant and usefull. So I'm personally here to stay.

If it gets better ( and I hope it does). I cannot tolerate using reddit's official app, but my experience on lemmy has been buggy and slow so far. Also my favorite subreddit has no sign of migrating yet.

yes

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

Yes. Even if it dies, I'm done with Reddit.

yep really like it here

Absolutely, I'm not going back to Reddit after the shit they pulled.

Yes. Short answer, reddit has gone stale.

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?
