Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience

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

I uninstalled Reddit when Infinity died

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

I made my account yesterday so I can't really say if I will stick with Lemmy in the long term, but for now mostly yes, most of the communities I like are here and Lemmy feels a lot nicer than Reddit. But there are a few communities that are still only on Reddit so I'm using both

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

I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time

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

I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.

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

It's really not far off, Reddit is on borrowed time and so is twitter and the rest....

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

Yep, other than ending up at Reddit because I'm searching for something, which I'll call passive use. My active use of posting and commenting is entirely on Lemmy

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

I think I accidentally opened reddit once, trying to get an answer from a google search. I'm done with Reddit.

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

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that yeah this is it for me. lemm.ee + wefwef

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

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.

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

No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.

I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.

I'm really trying to. But it seems like all anyone wants to talk about here is Reddit and Twitter.

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

I was fairly new to Reddit but really liked the way it was organized by topic. It was easy for me to delete my few posts and then delete my account. So I'm now rooting for Lemmy and seeing nice progress. Also looked at Threads and was amazed how well it worked right out of the gate. It shows what a multi million dollar budget can accomplish.

Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.

As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.

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

Ditched! Didn’t look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.

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

Pretty much. I also started using squabbles.io the other day and am enjoying that so I think I'll be replacing Reddit with both.

I'm caught between the two at the moment.

My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.

Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.

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

Yes, I still have to get some info from my reddit account before deleting everything, but soon.

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

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

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

Yep. This place is great.

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

I'm slowly transitioning over to Lemmy with the goal of eventually ditching Reddit.

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

I haven't deleted anything on reddit, but I have not been back there since the protests began. The Fediverse is my new home and I am happy to be here.

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

gock.........

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

I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too

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

Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.

I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.
