I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.
In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.
I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.
Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.
It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.
I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.
Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.
Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.
I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app
I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.
It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.
Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.
I have almost completely stopped using Reddit (and I was a huge Redditor for about 12 years). Since it was first released as a beta, I have only used Apollo. With that option soon gone, I decided it was just best to cut Reddit ties and switch over. Lemmy is not Reddit (yet), but I think once there are some decent third-party apps, it definitely has serious potential.
I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.
I've replaced the spot where Reddit Sync has been for like 10 years with a shortcut to Kbin. That said, I find myself browsing less as there's less content in the meantime. I try avoiding going to Reddit on my computer unless there's literally no other matching Google searches.
I hope we eventually get a lot of that random historical context and information reposted at some point onto any Lemmy instance.
Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.
For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)
From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.
Pretty much done with reddit for the time being if not for ever. Been on Lemmy as a filler for my fix.
I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.
So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.
Let's look at what Snoosite has been historically good at.
The web content is already all over the place and takes no more than a dedicated core moderation team to begin driving discussion. The latter - content communities - is what really made Snoosite exceptional, and what drove that engagement was principally the aggregation aspect in the beginning combined with a distaste for the alternatives.
Lemmy is modeled very closely after Snoosite, obviously, and shares the same potential for link aggregation. The community building is really an organic function, and if we're able to ride the wave, we may not continue to blast into the stratosphere but arriving at a decent plateau to provide a viable federated alternative is a noble and lofty goal.
The secret sauce, if the Lemmy devs implement features creatively, is ActivityPub. Cross pollinating conversations and communities between microblogging, distributed image sharing and tagging, and link aggregation communities of content using built-in features of hashtags and boosting is ... well, it's game-changing, and it gives me tingles to think about how well it COULD be done.
I'm not really wasting any time on Snoosite anymore other than for archaeological purposes. Now, it's only been a few days, so I can only speak from my own history - when I made a decision to drop Birdsite like a hot rock, I did so completely and deleted my account. I'm a little less inclined to be as drastic with Snoosite because of historical significance relating directly to technical interests of mine. But as time passes and the Fediverse grows, and Lemmy (or another technology) matures into the space, I think the relevance of Snoosite will fade like so many farts in the wind before it.
I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.
I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.
I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%
Haven't been back to reddit, no
Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.
I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.
Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.
My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.
Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.
Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.
On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit
I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.
I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously
Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.
Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.
Short answer: Yes!
When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).
So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.
When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.
I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.
I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.
I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!
I'm on reddit some, but less and less.
It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.
I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.
I bailed off of Reddit three months ago, after /r/Pathfinder2e started reaching peak echo chamber.
My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.
Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.
I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.
Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.
