I’ve noticed that most people here are ex-redditors, migrating due to the API changes and u/spez’s problematic leadership. I’m wondering, though, how many people here use Lemmy despite never using Reddit?

Personally, I only ever interacted with r/place, and lurked a few times, but I kept up with the protests and I liked the idea of building up Lemmy as a Fediverse alternative for Redditors to migrate to. So I’m not sure if I count.

I only used to use it several hours a day. But not once since the blackout.

Man, I wish I had that strength. Ive tried to avoid reddit, Im not actively searching for it, or logging into it, but it comes up a lot in my google searches and Id feel like a fool for not at least using that resource when Im trying to find an answer to a question I might have.

I've completely given up doom scrolling on reddit for lemmy, but I'll still use the vast resource that is reddit when I need to learn something. I just have to stick through the mobile browser since I refuse to download the reddit app

I joined on the 9th to beat the sign up crowd. I haven't even looked at the old spezzy redd whore ever since
