Reddit

I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.

I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.

Idk how you would get a clean estimate, however I can say that I no longer use Reddit

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.

I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.

Tbh I felt Reddit was getting less interesting and more of a habit, Apollo was the last straw. Lemmy is small and a much less active, but more random. Prob good to reduce the mindless scrolling.

I dropped reddit years ago. I'm currently on lemmy. So I didn't drop reddit for lemmy, but I did used to use reddit and am now a user here.

I've tried many of the alternatives but most of them were ended up pretty bad. Lemmy shows promise but is pretty reddit-y and I think over time it's basically going to become a big circle-jerk just like reddit. It's decent-ish for now though.

The only thing I go on Reddit for now at the moment is to browse their comic sub once every now and then.

But that's not completely dropping Reddit. Because Lemmy/Kbin is still in its early stages there'll be a lot of people who spend most of their time here but occasionally go to Reddit for that one sub or for some particular thing that's not quite made it here yet.

Used a script to delete all my comments. Nuked two ten year old accounts.

Commenting for sake of a headcount lol

I'm no expert but best guess would be to get an estimate of all the new Lemmy users - there seem to be a few floating around - then run a poll in a few instances and estimate based on those results.

Me

Me! Admittedly I still do use Reddit occasionally for particularity niche subreddits but I do enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

Yes

At least 3

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.

Found out about lemmy through r/place, I was with a group allied with the join lemmy group. The group was encouraged to join lemmy.

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 did. Only connect to Reddit if I want to find something from saved items.

Deleted my two main accounts and I think 3 alts that I could still remember, and haven't been back since. I can't use social media without Sync.

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.
