Yup, only going to reddit for some niche communities that aren't here. This is my main platform now.

[-] Secret300@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

[-] surge_1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

[-] Fantasmita@lib.lgbt 3 points 2 years ago

Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)

[-] void_wanderer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.

As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Not by itself, no.

My current replacements for reddit are:

  1. A kbin account for serious-posting
  2. This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
  3. Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
  4. (Eventually) an RSS reader
  5. Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results

I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. 😝

[-] vinzen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I have replaced it as my active site,

So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.

[-] savas@infosec.pub 3 points 2 years ago

Yup.

What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.

[-] AndreTelevise@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.

[-] counselwolf@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Currently going back and forth because there are still some subreddits that don't have an active community.

Hopefully, soon most if not all niche I follow will have a dedicated community here.

Also, still waiting for a better mobile client (excited for boost for lemmy and relay for lemmy).

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

[-] Popinguj@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.

[-] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] siliril@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

[-] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years 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.

[-] gumchops@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
[-] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

[-] sparky678348@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
[-] bizzle@lemmy.moorefam.net 2 points 2 years ago

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.

[-] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.

[-] Peeko@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.

[-] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

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