It is possible to estimate?

I didn't. However, I read Lemmy until I run out of interesting posts, then switch to reddit until the ads make me angry. Then I do something productive.

I did. Haven't visited reddit since Sync stopped working. Should probably drop by and delete my account.

I think that I am in some federated space connected to here from somewhere else. Or I don't know. But I quit socializing in that other place and socialize around here where I can see and communicate with yous peoples.

Not all communities I want to follow made the transition. I'm still on Reddit for HFY, and some smaller game communities.

But Lemmy has replaced a sizable chunk of my Reddit usage, especially around more technical topics.

Apollo got shut down so I do not intend to return.

Here. I quit after so many subs went dark and they started kicking mods out. Iโ€˜m a mod on reddit myself and thats the only reason I open the app every couple of days, just to check my queue.

I have used it for about 10 minutes in total since June. I used to use it a ton more.

I think we can be reasonably accurate on how many people are using Lemmy/Kbin, but not on how many people are not using Reddit. Even how many people are actually using Reddit is less accurate as the data is locked away and estimated from other metrics.

If Reddit is going to IPO then accurate usage stats is the last thing it once, like any company it'll go for the most flattering numbers it can generate and push thatball the way.

I still browse Reddit about as much as Lemmy, because many communities haven't taken off here yet.

Me, Sync for Lemmy. Sync was reddit for me. Now ita Lemmy for me.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I Reddit exclusively on my desktop now, not on mobile where I did most of my browsing. I also pared back my usage to fewer communities.

I use Discuit primarily now, checking Lemmy (Beehaw mostly) very occasionally.

I dropped reddit on mobile, but on desktop i still use it from time to time. Although i was never really a heavy user to begin with.

Dropped it on mobile for lemmy but still use desktop.

Dropped fully, not yet. But I am smoothly porting over more and more of my usage to Lemmy.

It depends on your definition of "dropped." Most people who moved from Reddit to Lemmy don't fall into the category of deleting their account and switching over 100%, rather Lemmy has filled the role of Reddit for most but not all of their browsing.
