I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

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.

Sure am. Been using Lemmy exclusively (shoutout to Memmy) for the past 3 weeks

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

Yup. After seeing Lemmy start to populate with more users and content, I deleted my Reddit account and only use search engines to search for information on Reddit now.

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

no doubt. fuck reddit

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

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!

Already did

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

yep

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

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%.

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!).

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

I'm going the supplementation route for now. Reddit official app is not enjoyable to use. I currently have a work around for my 3rd party app of choice. If the work around ever fails and reddit doesn't improve their app, I'm hopeful Lemmy will grow enough in the meantime to fully fill the reddit void.

I first came here shortly after spez's petulant AMA. I intended to just sort of check the place out, thinking that maybe I'd end up moving here if things there kept going downhill. But then I ended up just staying here, and in fact haven't been back to Reddit since.

So that's a yes, I guess.

I'll be completely real, no.

It's more like it added another folder to my bookmark bar with all of my lemmy instances. I do like the fact that the source code is open source and the overall engagement is through the roof. That's always a good sign.

While lemmy did populate faster than I expected, the experience is not quite the same. It honestly never could be due to the decentralized federated nature of it.

Reddit's mobile experience with patched apps is leagues ahead of lemmy. Desktop is pretty similar though, so all that remains is the size of the community.

I use both maybe 50/50 but my biggest concern is validated every day. The fragmentation is the thing that gets you. It basically places increased burden on the user to manage it. Not sure if there will be a seamless solution to it, or if I have to develop one myself.

Not entirely. There's a couple larger subreddits I enjoy and tbh it's still my go-to for doomscrolling.

However my desire to interact with reddit couldn't be any less. Zero desire to post or comment anything due to the sheer hostility of the site to it's users.

I think if lemmy continues to grow in userbase it could completely replace reddit, but not at this immediate moment.

I will be if I can get a good app to use on my phone. I'd also love to see some qol features like RES offers for my browser. But I am enjoying it so far!

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.
