Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

[-] potvanherb@lemmys.hivemind.at 5 points 1 year ago

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!!

No, for the time. I like the idea but i see a lot of issues that hopefully get fixed in the future. For example the existence of 5 communities with the same name. Where do I join? it makes things more inconvenient. Finding communities is hard without 3rd party websites. If I search on my instance for a community that is on a different one I would like it to be shown as a search result and not having to get the URL and paste it in. Time will hopefully fix all these problems and Ill invest some time of my own to add features to this platform.

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.

I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.

[-] OatmealAC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Can't enjoy browsing Reddit on mobile without RiF, and won't use Reddit on PC at all anymore out of principle.

long live lemmy

[-] BB69@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, fuck you spez

[-] Grungeehamster@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm in the process... Since they destroyed RiF, I've been going to the old Reddit website but it's just not the same anymore. I've been resisting downloading the Reddit app due to what they've done to the community but it's not easy.

Lemmy is nice and all but I find it confusing as it shows several communities (some with 0 MAU and some with plenty) whenever I search for it. I'm excited for the future of this one and the Mastodon one but they're just not as polished as their more established counterparts.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

A few of my communities have not migrated at all, so I check back there occasionally.

[-] upt@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I am slowly, over the long term. I am still glancing and reading some of the reddit subs that haven't made the move, but I figure over time they'll eventually migrate away. One day I probably won't even look anymore and will have forgotten about Reddit completely.

[-] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yup girldick, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy and I'm happy!

I've already deleted all of my posts and edited the comments to "FUCK YOU u/spez". I didn't delete the account because the little cunt has a reputation for editing user's comments, I'm just gonna mass edit them from time to time to be sure.

I even changed out the email with an alias one literally saying "fuckyouspez@..." and that fucker hasn't banned me yet.

Now that I’ve got an app on my phone, 100%. Reddit is just an ad platform these days. It’s sad.

[-] green_dot@le.fduck.net 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Reddit is only checked for about 2-3 subreddits, but I'm not checking it daily. Lemmy and Mastodon are my new best friends.

[-] zephyrvs@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

Yes, deleted my Reddit account

[-] babetoduarte@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.

Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!

[-] FuriousLing@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yup. After seeing Lemmy start to populate with more users and content, I deleted my Reddit account and only use search engines to search for information on Reddit now.

[-] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yep, thats the plan anyways. I believe in free speech and, as a former Apollo and Joey user, I have zero tolerance for bullshit companies whose entire goal is to turn my words into training tools for AI in their pursuit of a multi billion dollar IPO.

If they want me back, they can pay me.

That being said, its looking like this transition may take awhile. Im not even sure if my ev, worldnews and other subs exist here yet.

But, its exciting times! Reminds me of the first time I posted to slashdot news back in 1999 and reddit back in 2012.

Edit - I also have a mastadon account, Salty Muskrat can eat it too.

[-] vegetarian_pacemaker@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

[-] Lobstronomosity@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

[-] zsnell02@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sure am. Been using Lemmy exclusively (shoutout to Memmy) for the past 3 weeks

[-] bionicspud@lemmyverse.org 5 points 1 year ago

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

[-] Sev@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.

[-] sma3in@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

no doubt. fuck reddit

[-] TRSea@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Every so often I'll glance at r/politics or r/worldnews since following the news was a big part of how I used reddit and Lemmy doesn't quite have the volume to replace it for that function yet. But as time goes on I'm finding Mastodon and Post to be almost just as good for news so I expect to cut out reddit completely before long. The vibe and overall feel is a breath of fresh air, I'm really liking it!

[-] festus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

[-] SamDuede@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

[-] coaxil@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

[-] RealWrastling@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What's a Reddit?

[-] guacho@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

[-] sethal@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

[-] Alphadef@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit
