I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.

I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.

[-] clavismil@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!

My only traffic to Reddit in over a week was search based. My only engagement was here and Facebook.

I miss Relay something awful. The mobile lemmy site has some strong inconveniences, the mobile app is missing some outright features.

I'd still rather be here than there.

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P

[-] DizzyMotion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much haven't gone back to reddit at all. I've been trying to transfer to Lemmy, but getting much of my scrolling fix off instagram nowadays.

[-] Quinnel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ramping up the Lemmy usage. Once RIF goes down I'll be here for good.

[-] NocturnalNebula@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I’m new here, is it stupid that I made an account here and on kbin.social?

[-] peepquinox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Technically you can access anything posted in either instance from either site. But I did the same thing before I understood federation, so don’t worry. You are not alone. Except maybe in a philosophical view.

[-] NocturnalNebula@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I see! Guess I need to read up on how federation works

[-] Thteven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I've been bouncing between them when kbin is having server issues. That's another plus to the fediverse, if one instance is down you just log in to another.

[-] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't opened reddit since the blackout began last Monday. I used to browse it for hours a day.

[-] Guatch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.

[-] JN@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

[-] seriousslayerguy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

[-] xc2215x@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.

[-] Moops@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. The fact that I routinely view by All, and it's pleasant, is lovely.

[-] xaon_rider92@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.

[-] Gamers_Mate@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

[-] hungryghost@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I blocked myself from accessing reddit with LeechBlock, so yes, I am spending more time on Lemmy than reddit.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.

[-] BlendedRacer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

[-] Arotrios@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it's early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

10% on Reddit, 10-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin

>100% error!

How are you manufacturing extra time‽ The greatest physicists of our day want to talk to you!

(Unless you mean to say that you spend 100x time on Kbin what you used to spend on Reddit…that makes more sense…carry on.)

[-] galactusaurus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I hated reddit tho

[-] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm not a twitter user I've always liked reddit lemmy is reddit but without the ads

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

As for me I'm living here now. Just taking a few peeks at reddit to follow the whole api/blackout situation.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
