Yeah for the most part I have. There’s still a few things and reasons I’m still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on

I'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.

Not by itself, no.

My current replacements for reddit are:

1. A kbin account for serious-posting
2. This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
3. Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
4. (Eventually) an RSS reader
5. Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results

I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.

Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.

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 :)

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.

trying

Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.

The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.

I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now

I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance 🔰

These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it's better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.

I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.

No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.

just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.

Im so happy I found this place

Yup.

What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted or ignored, but I am not replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I'm using them both, except on my phone. There, I no longer use Reddit due to the need for the official app.

Lemmy has done a great job in a short time and it has a lot of awesome energy, but it doesn't have the user base to support interesting discussions in niche subjects that I care about, or be a source of information in those. I doubt it ever will, although I'm rooting for it.

If I scroll through Lemmy in my subs or in c/all, I see three things:

• Memes
• Anti-Reddit brigading
• Shitposts

I love me some memes, and Lemmy is actually better than Reddit right now for those, but if I want information, I can't get it on Lemmy. I might be able to get tech news, but I have RSS / Hacker News / Slashdot for that.

As an example, I'm switching from Evernote to Obsidian for note-taking and it's a pain in the ass. Reddit has an 80k user subreddit for Obsidian, where within 10 minutes, somebody solved my problem. That kind of thing is never going to happen on Lemmy.

Already done.

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn't around yet.

I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I'll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won't be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful

I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.

I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.

The reddit app is just bad and slow.

Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video

I’m fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.
