I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.
Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.
I'm about 80% over to Lemmy myself. There's enough content here that I can doomscroll memes to my heart's content now. Reddit, I still end up on on my PC for a few more niche subreddits. Mobile though, I'm just sticking to wefwef/Lemmy until a good GTK client for Lemmy is available (both good options are still in beta right now).
Who's Lenny? I'm waiting for Sync.
Now I just wish Lemmy can come up in my Google search when I search for reviews. Right now that is still Reddit's territory and no Lemmy at all. Lemmy should really improve it's SEO to not only makes using it with search engines easier, it can also help new users discover this platform.
In starting to, but it's more like the old days now where I'll go to my list of cool sites and only if all those run out and I'm bored enough to doomscroll will I visit the R.
I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.
Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.
Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.
Yes. The Reddit BS was too much for me, and lemmy has been great.
Yesterday I have as first step deleted all my reddit posts and comments. Still keep my account for possible GDPR request later.
Yes
Already have 😏
Reddit --> Lemmy 4 me 2
I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!
This is my first acc on lemmy, so yes, I do want to move to... Lemmy
Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content
Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say “good riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.
Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.
I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?
I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.
It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.
redwhat ?
I already did.
All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.
LENNY!!!
I'm trying to, but I miss NSFW content here
I never used Reddit before this, I didn’t really like the idea of using Reddit. But now I can use Reddit without actually using Reddit.
Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader
Yes.
As long as my synch for reddit version works I dont see myself leaving reddit.
Not yet. Sadly the small community’s that had me hooked on Reddit in the first place have yet to make it here (HFY my beloved). I also find the current mobile clients a bit jank (in comparison to Apollo) but I hope that situation will get better with time. Anyhow fuq the 1st party Reddit client, I ain't touching that shit. Apollo till it breaks!
Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc
Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them
Yes, I am and I have. I have up my reddit account a month ago.
