with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me

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

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.

I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.

This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.

Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.

[-] psykick@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.

Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.

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

Already have 😏

[-] secret300@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool

[-] Lonewolf28@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Trying to. It’s hard because I’m super lonely and want to connect with people. But it’s still really new here and not a lot of users are here yet.

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

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

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

Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.

I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.

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

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I don't really use Reddit any more.

[-] PeachyMcPeachface@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I left during the blackout. I use reddit occasionally for specific questions I can't find anywhere else. It's a shit hole, but an old and useful shit hole.

[-] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

The guy from the Simpsons?

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

So long, dental plan!

[-] SarcastiSnark@lemmyverse.org 1 points 2 years ago

I'm trying. Since boost stopped working. I have been on reddit twice. It's a painful shit experience now and I hate it.

But also. Lemmy isnt quite enough yet. But it's helping me stay off the web more.

FB sucks. Reddit sucks and lemmy isn't itching my need for information.

Oh well. :).
