Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

I don't really use Reddit any more.

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

100%. Lemmy is my new drug.

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

Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

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

Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.

Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

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

I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.

95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.

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

Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google

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

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

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

I wish but I couldn’t load the comments at the first place…

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

Yes. Just hoping lots of communities get as popular as asklemmy and showerthoughts. Sad looking up some Reddit equivalents and seeing 2 subscribers and no posts.

Now that I made this keyboard arrow navigation script answer is ..... YES!

So long, dental plan!

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

Yup, was a loyal Sync For Reddit user. Wasn't sure how I was going to cope to be honest but Lemmy has been great so far.

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

They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug

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

Already have.

Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool

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

I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.

Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.
