I'm ready to step away from Reddit. I know you can encounter toxic behavior on other platforms too, but I'm just exhausted by the level of negativity there. So, I have two questions for those who have fully transitioned — What prompted your decision to leave? And were you able to get others to join you on Lemmy?

For me it was/is exactly the same. I've not been using reddit a lot anyway but once I heard about Lemmy I was very quick to move around the API disaster. I also don't know anyone from reddit so I didn't have a desire to convince anyone.

I spread the news around in my other networks and I think 2 people joined lemmy, but they would have joined without me advocating for it anyway probably.
