I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.

Reddit --> Lemmy 4 me 2

[-] brayd@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

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

Yes. Just hoping lots of communities get as popular as asklemmy and showerthoughts. Sad looking up some Reddit equivalents and seeing 2 subscribers and no posts.

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

I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.

95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.

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

Yes. My username says it all. Late to the party because the fortress of Lemmy has been extremely difficult & discouraging to scale but today I finally did it.

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

Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.

[-] SecretPancake@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.

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

Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google

[-] 2kool4idkwhat@lemdro.id 1 points 2 years ago

I made my account yesterday so I can't really say if I will stick with Lemmy in the long term, but for now mostly yes, most of the communities I like are here and Lemmy feels a lot nicer than Reddit. But there are a few communities that are still only on Reddit so I'm using both

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

Yes, I still have to get some info from my reddit account before deleting everything, but soon.

I’m an Apollo refugee, just don’t want to support what’s inevitably becoming another Facebook type place. Wasn’t sure how well I was gonna be able to switch over until I found the wefwef web app, it’s such a game changer and I’m slowly getting used to how this works

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

Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc

Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them

I was fairly new to Reddit but really liked the way it was organized by topic. It was easy for me to delete my few posts and then delete my account. So I'm now rooting for Lemmy and seeing nice progress. Also looked at Threads and was amazed how well it worked right out of the gate. It shows what a multi million dollar budget can accomplish.

[-] s0q@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

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

I'm an old lady and I'm trying, it's a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I've also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

[-] SighBapanada@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago
[-] Sentau@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit

[-] Vestria@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.

[-] brad@toad.work 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader

[-] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

[-] SapphicFemme@lib.lgbt 1 points 2 years ago
[-] 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. :).

Ditched Reddit, never looked back. It's waaaaay better here. Even running my own instance because why not? :)

[-] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

100%. Lemmy is my new drug.

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

I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.

Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.

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

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.
