I'll stay here for now as I'm learning how lemmy work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Will be using both for now until more people jump ship

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'll mainly stay here and contribute content to Lemmy. But I'll probably go back for a few specialty subs. e.g. r/HFY

I'm going to continue coming here. My exit from Reddit is a slow slide... I only use old.reddit plus Apollo and RIF clients. When 3rd party clients are gone I will not use the official app, and I do not intend to continue accessing my feed daily. I don't believe that I'll delete my account - if that data in context can help someone else in the future, that's still a good thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Probably both for now, but I've been using Lemmy more and more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, β€œless it’s more”, so..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I will be using both until rif shuts down, but only to support / upvote posts and comments about the death of Reddit.

My many year old Reddit account is gone, and I spun up a new Reddit account that is essentially a throwaway referencing the death of Reddit.

I want to make sure this isn't just a two-day and done issue. I feel this is the death of Reddit, the same as it was the death of Digg.

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's been the harder thing to find on Lemmy. For stuff like retrocomputing or open source I imagine the fediverse will still be a strong contender, but I also like reddit for, like, obscure old games with a total remaining community of less than a hundred people, and that's one thing Reddit and Discord are still the champions of.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.

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

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think the deciding factor will be where content creators (people that post to some degree) go. Lurkers will follow them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.

Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.

One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.

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

Did they reverse the API charges. No. Then they can fuck off. If yes, then they can fuck off. Reddit has made it quiet clear were their priorities are at. And it ain't the community

I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.

I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Use both.

Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically: -New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm going to stay. Whether it's Lemmy or something else, the fediverse is how I want to engage with the internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to use both. I will leave redit as soon as the Turkish community grows.

Now that I'm more comfortable with Lemmy, I'm enjoying it more. I'll probably browse reddit from time to time, but I'd like to make this my new home.

I'd also like to see what this place can be when everyone is talking about something besides reddit.

My only complaint thus far is the communities on separate instances I've subscribed to still say "subscription pending," so I can't see them on the mlem app.

Edit: Actually, it appears I can see them. The "subscribe pending" just seems to be some kind of error.

I deleted over 2000 comments, 300 posts, and 9 years of my Reddit data. Deleted my account afterwards, and there's no looking back. Lemmy is my new social media app.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Don’t make me go back there!
