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 will until I run out of content here.

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

Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.

Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.

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

This is my first message.

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

Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.

I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.

I haven't used Reddit for a week already

[-] Pumpki@toast.ooo 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.

I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.

Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.

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

Just signed up and still exploring. Hopefully I will spend more time on here than Reddit though.

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

I barely even used Reddit in the first place... but I did find myself spending more time on Mastodon than Twitter after the whole Elon thing happened. Noticeably less toxicity in the places I hang out in. Even went as far as to wipe my account clean with a service so I'm not contributing any content to them, but keep my handle so nobody can steal it from me and say things.

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

Yes. It was pretty easy too. I didn't use the desktop version, but the Legere client instead. I just had to remove the Legere shortcut that I was used to click on when I was waiting for something to load. Now I never go to reddit on desktop. I still have Infinity on my phone but I don't like phone apps so It's just sitting there.

Now for meme-addict people Lemmy may seem a bit empty, but that's fine by me.

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

Loading this page took 10 seconds. This is too slow right now to function as a replacement for Reddit. Also, I HAVE to have the “hide” feature. I always hide posts after I have mentally processed them. That way my feed is always fresh. Without that feature, I am constantly seeing the same stuff over and over, which I hate.

[-] darmabum@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

After 10 years on reddit, it wasn’t easy at first (at first being just the threat of apps not working). And I wasn’t sure where to go: Mastodon, Discord, Lemmy, etc. But as the communities grew, content increased, and I even found similar groups in the fediverse, I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy, and much more certain this the right direction.

[-] vracker@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

I still occasionally lurk on reddit, just a few obscure subs like r/fedora. Lemmy is the first social platform I've actually commented on.

Honestly I wasn't to interested in the whole "movement" against the API changes. Being a nerd, the underlying tech behind activitypub is what got me interested.

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

I deleted my reddit account, but I still skim reddit as a lurker for a handful of specific subreddits. Once the fediverse grows a bit more, I can slowly phase out the niche subreddit activity entirely. But I no longer spend my whole break at work doomscrolling.

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

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

[-] unobservant@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

This is my first comment on Lemmy. So far I've just been lurking to get used to how it works... but I've quit reddit completely, so the answer is yes.

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

Used Reddit everyday. Left last week. Lemmy everyday. Slowly subscribing to be subs as they appear. I get confused sometimes with the changes (subscribing, federation). The apps aren't as feature rich as the well matured 3rd party apps I was used to (losing my place when I nav away from app, can't find a post I was half way through reading. But I'm Happy. Oh yeah. I comment on Lemmy. Never really did that on Reddit.

I guess it's like I get to grow with the community, rather than crashing the party.

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

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

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

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

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

Last week no, this week yes. The learning* curve is steep compared to reddit. I still haven't taken the time to learn enough.

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

I switched off reddit during the blackout and haven't really missed it (uninstalled from phone but not tablet yet), does appear in some searches. I heard the CeO interview on NPR over the weekend, so looking to delete my comments from most subs (some ask not to so will respect that) before deleting accounts.

World news and a finance subs I liked to contribute to but enjoying the break. Coding and Crafts I browse for ideas but sure something will appear eventually or not.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I made a lemmy account today, as I found out that all of the subreddits I'm a part of hava (at least for now) migrated to lemmy. But I've been pretty much no time on reddit recently so idk...

I only get info from Reddit now and comment almost exclusively here. Old stuff is still good there, but it's time to move on

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.

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.
