Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.

(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit 😀)

Simply yes. Not going back

Absolutely. Deleted account.

I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs though…

I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.

Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.

I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.

Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.

If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!

For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.

If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.

Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.

Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.

Yes, I just recently created my Lemmy account and had to answer a question like "why did you choose this username".

What did you answer, OP?

Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.

Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.

I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.

Definitely. I don't plan on downloading the official Reddit app anytime soon and for years I have been more of a lurker on Reddit but I am trying to break that and participate more on Lemmy. Really enjoying it so far.

I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.

Pretty much

Yup, and not just because of Reddit's CEO.

The culture here is better - people read and reply rather than just upvoting. It's a good place to help folks out, and be helped out.

I didn't remove my Reddit account yet, but I stopped using it as soon as I tried Lemmy. As I expected, it's not perfect, it still needs some love on the technical side, but people and content are already here. I'm pretty happy with my feed so far. I can only see it grow and getting better, but I guess we'll find out how the fight with spam bots will be.

from my phone, i only have access to lemmy. in browser i access both, 50/50. there are 10 or so subs that i frequent on reddit, the rest i'm here. it's hard to let that account go because i put energy into building it and it's 10+ years old. i've been using it to track my journey in life. was planning on aggregating the data.

not yet. because Lemmy is still quite small tbh. But, the thing is Since Reddit new API policy starts, my Reddit home feed filled with spam,bots and double posts from many subs. So, if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I might move to Lemmy permanently.

I've basically left reddit for good. There's some thing I miss there but in general Lemmy fills that void enough that I don't have the urge to go back anymore. If I end up scrolling less because of smaller amount of content then good.

There are only two subreddits I'm checking right now. One will be defunct when reddit shuts down that app. The other is a gaming subreddit where I'm not going to get the kind of discourse here that is there (yet). I can use their forums but...I like simplicity these days and having everything in one place is just easier.

Yeah. I'm just waiting for the subs that I was active at to grow here (mostly space-related subs).

So far, so good , yes I like it just waiting for sync and boost for lemmy

now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.

Nope, it doesn't have the user base.. hopefully that changes but for right now, I'm using both.

I’m on lemmy a lot but not all the communities that I frequent on Reddit moved or have enough people over at lemmy.

jesssir, deleted all my reddit accs

Right now using both.

I'm more of a Carl guy, but Lenny will do.

Seriously, I can see this becoming a full replacement if users continue to migrate. Once Sync for Lemmy is out I will definitely be using that for my bored moments. For now, patched Reddit Sync is still working, so I'm still using it while I can.

That said, Reddit feels dead to me. Browsing now is absolutely not the same as before. As far as I'm concerned they committed suicide.

Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.

Yes. 100%. Tinkering with my own lenny instance for me and my friends atm. Once "Sync for Lenny" drops ill bring them all aboard so its a smooth experience for the non-tech users. Also this is my first test post form my lenny instance! All hail LENNY!!
