I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.

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.

[-] Trainzkid@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, next question

[-] jininjin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

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!

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 1 year ago

ah, Lenny. I really love Lenny.

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.

[-] brewdtype@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

[-] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

[-] sveri@lemmy.sveri.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

The reddit app is just bad and slow.

[-] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.

[-] siliril@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] checkforupdates@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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!

[-] preasket@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.

[-] Metasyntactic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[-] phoenix591@lemmy.phoenix591.com 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

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