Switch back to what? I nuked my account's posts and comments, then deactivated it, and I'm here.
So yeah, I'm here to stay, like it so far. I'm just hoping the enthusiasm I feel, and see with the others, won't die out in a few days/weeks.

I'm going to try to just use lemmy. Reddit removing moderators over this is BS and too much.
But, until everything I used it for is replaced, I will still participate in some communities over there.
I'm having fun here but will be glad to maybe have useful results for my obscure tech support googling again
If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way
The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.
I'm a mod of a moderately sized subreddit (~15k) with lots of people who use Reddit only to interact with that community. We've been trying to disseminate information about our official Lemmy, Kbin and Raddle alternatives, but adoption has been slow to nonexistent. So I'm probably going to stick around in both, if for no other reason that to moderate said subreddit.
Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.
I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!
I am really enjoying the concept of Lemmy but am still learning about it. I'll probably stick around to see how it grows and evolves. I kind of like not being on Reddit.
80/20, Lemmy/Reddit.
Trending to 100/0.
Staying away from Reddit for sure. The people make Reddit, not the corporation. I go where my people are.
both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here
I'm going to stay. Whether it's Lemmy or something else, the fediverse is how I want to engage with the internet.
rif basically was reddit to me. If that app goes I won't use it on my phone anymore. I think I'll still use old.reddit.com, but if that goes I'll never use it again.
Same. I don't remember the last time I visited the site on a browser...
Gonna stick with Lemmy, but monitor Reddit's activity.
I expect a lot of subreddits will be left indefinitely closed as well, which the admins are probably going to take over forcefully.
Lemmy is pretty nice to use so far.
Yeah, Reddit is currently a useful repository of some kinds of information and that won't instantly migrate. It's sad that even though every comment must be suspect when there can be any ulterior motive, it's still often more informative than browsing the general internet, not least because the results from Google are dominated by manipulative trash sites.
But I'd definitely apply pressure towards Lemmy - I intend to use it first and encourage people to come on over. Reddit brings nothing special to the party, it's just a simple but well conceived framework for people to interact (come to that, in 15 years has it improved in any way apart from 3rd party plugins and and apps?). The people are the thing, the platform just facilitates and protects the interactions (the latter will be the big challenge for Lemmy if it takes off).
use both
Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.
honestly, if Sync and old are both dying, I'm just gonna go without. I have built up so many tools and extensions to avoid ads being shoved in my face constantly on the internet, it's not worth it. probably should get back to reading more books instead of fucking scrolling constantly.
I'm just going to have my lemmy shortcut and app next to my reddit ones and keep going to lemmy first. I feel as more people come online here eventually the reddit usage will taper off as it becomes redundant.
I've completely replaced my Reddit addiction with a Lemmy addiction. Don't feel any pull to go back tbh.
I'm surprised how easy that was for me
Same.. but then again I thought I could go the entire 48 hours Reddit free.
First 80 minutes and I was already looking up Lemmy and how to join.
personally I'll probably use reddit as well as lemmy for a few weeks, but less and less. I use a 3rd party client (slide for reddit) and dont intend to go back to the official app, when Ive last used it I found it unusable and this whole incident has really soured my opinion of it. I may occasionally visit it on desktop after that is gone, I actually dont mind new reddit on desktop unlike most, but since I dont usually use social sites on my desktop anyway and again, have been liking reddit less after this, I dont foresee myself using it that way much and probably will leave entirely after awhile. Lemmy doesnt really have all the small communities reddit does, but that does seem to be changing pretty rapidly. Im sure a whole lot of recent lemmy users will go back after awhile, but given the apps havent even shut down yet, my hope is that enough people come and stay for there to be enough to be happy with, even if its nowhere near the user count of reddit
I will stick to Lemmy as my main but I'll use Reddit for some specific and niche stuff, unless a similar community props up . I was always sort of a lurker there but now I'll be even more of a lurker lol. I'll cut down reddit usage to basically 0 though.
I'll return to reddit for as long as my rif app works, and spend that time proselytizing for lemmy
My account on Reddit is almost 12 years old now, and I've been ready for a change, so while I'm not going to delete my reddit account, I'll certainly not be browsing it over the fediverse.
I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then Iโm fully out. Iโve already deleted posts.
i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics
Yeah im hoping some of the smaller hobbyist communities start moving over.
I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.
