Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.

During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.

Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.

I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.

So far yep! Why not?

Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?

Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

This is my first Lemmy comment ever!

[-] greensky@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Fuck reddit

[-] Capricorny90210@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.

have done it in july 3rd because of the Reddit protests

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

The reddit app is just bad and slow.

[-] checkforupdates@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and haven’t turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!

[-] Atiran@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used “new” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

[-] xoagray@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O

Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.

I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, haven’t used it since

[-] EveningPancakes@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.

[-] thesalamander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

I've mostly moved here, though some of my favorite subs dont have an equivalent community here as of now and I'm a bit bummed about losing them.

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.

[-] Gestrid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mostly.

All I'm on Reddit for now is to watch it burn and to participate in the one subreddit I truly care about on there. I'm not participating in anything else on there at all.

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

[-] Digirip@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Been here for a few days. Feels like home

[-] xxkickassjackxx@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I am 100%. Sadly i don’t think most Reddit users will until lemmy becomes easier to use and gets a functioning IOS app.

Haven’t quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.

I’m not highly involved in any communities there, else I’d attempt a mass migration.

[-] Fleppensteijn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] sarge@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Starting the process… now!

For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that's pretty much it.

[-] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

ah, Lenny. I really love Lenny.

Yes and no. My daily scrolling habit has been moved to lemmy and I haven’t really felt any loss.

However, and this is a big caveat: Reddit remains a huge source of institutional knowledge. Half a dozen times weekly I’ll look something up and the most relevant answer/discussion will be from Reddit. As I understand it, lemmy will never fulfill this need, because it’s not scraped the same way Reddit is? Or perhaps I’ve misunderstood something about the way federation works. If that’s true, it’s a huge blow to the long-term use of lemmy v. Reddit.

I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
