I use both for different types of contents. Reddit has so many small niche communities that are currently still irreplaceable for me.

I don't know how you could track uninstalls outside of informal polls. I'd consider myself as having fully dropped Reddit for Lemmy, but on occasion I'll follow a link on Lemmy to the Reddit site.

Monthly active users gives a rough estimate but doesn't account for people registering on multiple servers and alt accounts (and of course we can't forget the occasional toxic spammer). But subtracting that from Reddit traffic barely puts a dent in it.

I think Reddit will stay a similar size or continue to grow a bit, but overall quality of it has been circling the drain for a while now. I don't think the IPO is going to help at all with that, only make it worse.

My Reddit account is there laying dormant, I've signed out and don't even look at the moderation queue.

I've been slowly migrating over. I'm using relay so once that dies or goes paid I'll be here exclusively.

Right here, yo.

I miss old reddit, and left for here and kbin when the API mess started. Haven't left and haven't really gone back much, either. I find myself a more satisfied with lemmy if that's a thing. Users, content, comments... it all seems like it is more my speed than reddit was.

It's a bit harder to estimate because it's global and no matter where you are goong to ask, you will ask a specific bubble but with enough time, money and people you can do that. In my case I would ask to make a University project out of it.

I go back to Reddit (Adblock enabled) only to see new posts from my favorite lewd cosplayers because I'm too cheap for OnlyFans.

While I doubt it is possible to estimate how many left Reddit since the spez crap went down, the total growth of others like Lemmy, Mastadon and even Threads is probably the most indicative of that estimate.

I too left Reddit when RiF died, but we're still a drop in the bucket compared to the numbers that still frequent the platform.

Lost my main account when theybgot rid of third party apps, that account was banned from news subreddits for calling g chuds fascists and dumbasses so now every new account gets suspended for "ban evaison" so now it's basically just a lib take aggregator I can't interact with

I still use both, I'll pop on Lemmy at the start and end of a day to see what is going on, but still use Reddit just because it has so much more content. Plus it's the "home" of several manga communities I can't find anywhere else except Discord, and I'm not a fan of Discord anymore due to the Skype-esque bloat. I did however delete all my comments and relegate my account to purely lurking status, nor do I upvote or downvote anything on Reddit as well.

There are dozens of us! Literally dozens!

I did not dropped reddit completely, occasionally going in there through google searches but ever since the api fiasco I've never visited the site directly. I still haven't deleted my account but didn't used it since then and is planning to delete it. Lemmy does not have a lot of content and the niche communities compared to reddit. That is not a bad thing though and instead it had stopped me from mindless scrolling I picked up from using reddit.

left when Boost turned off, sticking with Lemmy.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I did, and I like it over here better. Sometimes I look at a reddit post if it turns up in search, but otherwise I like the culture here better.

Recently discovered revanced could patch boost and I'm back on Reddit.

After a few months on just Lemmy, I found too much of the content was about Linux, foss, and how much the internet sucks now.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I use it for one of the niche communities I usually went to. But other than that, I stopped voting other subs. So much rage bait and bigotry. It's only gotten worse since people started leaving. I just instantly go to the sub I want, check out some posts, which sometimes only take about a minute, and then leave.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I quitted Reddit and still don't reget my decision.
