Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and havenβt turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
So far yep! Why not?
Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?
Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
This is my first Lemmy comment ever!
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
Please dont tell anyone how I live
Other than some specific subs, yes
Well, this is nice, hello
Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.
100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now
I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.
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...
Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.
I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.
Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.
Yes
Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.
Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.
But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.
They can they just deliberately chose to make it shitty.
Happens at the governments, happens at the companies.
I work in some IT projects with like 20-30 people and literally 3-4 of us would be enough. Same thing is probably happening at Reddit.
I can't imagine how many managers, Devs, offshore etc are involved in that shitty Reddit app that is 100 times worse than Infinity, Boost and many more Reddit 3rd party apps.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.
I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.
This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.
I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.
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.
Yes I am
Trying to
with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me
I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.
Yeah
I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.
Yes, next question
