I did as soon as Sync came out.

I didn't fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Dropped Reddit since the beginning of the protest waves. But most importantly, due to this, my screen time plummeted from 10h per day to 2 or 3 hours.

I'm still not entirely sure what Lemmy is, but I mostly quit reddit and moved to hexbear when reddit banned /r/chapotraphouse. I still went on reddit to check local COVID stats but since Biden said mission-accomplished-1 mission-accomplished-2 and the CDC stopped tracking, there's no reason to go back.

I've deleted all my reddit accounts and haven't added any new content to reddit since I switched, Though I must admit I still end up there from time to time when I search for specific things.. mostly related to niche topics. I use Lemmy for mindless browsing, news, laughs, etc.

I was a sync user. Waited until the last day. Been quite until recently. I think I've had more conversations here then in my four years with Reddit. Something about the sizes of the communities made it hard to feel like a part of the conversation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I did. Fuck reddit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

left reddit completely and found a replacement for every community I am interested in. i love lemmy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I've stopped using it on mobile entirely, but still use Reddit for some communities like r/bash and the like, or otherwise things related to my job -- though, only on desktop.

That said, I'd like to fully move off of the platform eventually.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I refuse to use their shitty app, but I still use old reddit on the desktop. If they remove old.reddit.com, I will probably not use it at all.

On mobile, I tried a few apps. Lemmy feels very empty and devoid of content and communities. Mastodon is not that interesting. I feel that hacker news is the best alternative right now. Even though it doesn't have that many users, the fact that it has a single "community" helps it feel far less empty, and more focused towards technical people.

I did. And I did it exclusively because of reddit sync. I used that app to browse reddit during my decade plus old account. Once reddit sync left, the app maker said he's moving to lemmy. I never even heard of lemmy until then. Now I'm here on sync.

I left and haven't looked back. Honestly with the consistent growth of lemmy there's been now need.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Left reddit after 13 years, never looked back. Fuck Reddit

[–] bdonvr 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I started my own instance and haven't touched Reddit since, except sometimes as search results. But I don't browse, login, etc.

First tried Lemmy during the blackouts, never went back to reddit after Boost stopped working

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I switched.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I left reddit for good. I will not knowingly enhance reddits traffic stats on principle for the crap spez pulled. Everyone should do the same.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Present ✋

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only go back when a site like this or /v/ links me back.

I sure did. I was already tired of their terrible moderation policies and the arbitrary power some mods abused all to hell. Good riddance.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I only looked at Reddit on Sync so when that stopped working I stopped visiting Reddit. Now I look at Lemmy on Sync but not as much

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I did. Occasionally visit old.reddit.com put of nostalgia, but never logged in, never controbute. It's not as busy here, but i like it. Lemmy has an OG nerd feeling to it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dropped mobile reddit for Lemmy. I still use reddit on my PC, but never on my mobile devices.

There are some communities that never transitioned to Lemmy, so I'll be using them untill old.reddit is disabled.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Still using reddit read-only through Libreddit but I don't even check it every day anymore.

I hit up my niche self-hosted and Linux subs, take a peek at /r/all, get immediately put off by all the bot content and toxicity, and come right back to Lemmy.

Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I only used baconreader, and so did my wife. So no more reddit for us.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I dropped reddit for sure, but can't say I'm exactly an avid Lemmy user. There just isn't enough things I'm interested in. I pop in every once in a while but I'll probably drop this too soon. I have absolutely no idea how I will even get any news, since I don't watch tv, and that kinda scares me. On the other hand, I started reading books again, which I hadn't touched ever since I became a redditor

If "dropped Reddit for Hexbear" means getting perma-banned from Reddit, then sure.

Edit: No, it's not because I did anything cool. I actually don't know and nobody from the corp responded to why my inactive account got zapped
