The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

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.

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I'm seeing here so far has been good.

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

Lenny?

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

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.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

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

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

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

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

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

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

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

While I technically did replace Reddit with Lemmy—I edited all my posts and comments in protests of the API changes and Reddit's disgusting behaviour—I don't use Lemmy in the same way I used Reddit. Most of my activities on Reddit were in niche subreddits that don't have an active community here, so on Lemmy I just hangout in the popular communities with much lower levels of engagement. I also spend a lot less time here than I used to on Reddit, which is both a good thing and a bad thing...

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

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.

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.

I’ve been strictly here and 4chan

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

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

Yes, but I also use Squiggy too

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

Be the Community You Want to See On Lenny. Whereever 2 or more are gathered in his name, Lemmy Bruce will be there.
