I'm fragmenting time between reddit, kbin, lemmy, and squabbles.

I only have a couple more weeks that I'll get to use reddit. The official app is trash, and I'm a 100% mobile user - so when my app dies I'm done there...

I'm waiting for one of these platforms to make a good app and I'll settle there, but until then I'll fragment my time.

If I go back to reddit it will be to redirect people to Lemmy

Stay on Lemmy. Obviosuly there's probably going to be some reasons to go back to reddit every once in a while but i think that will be less and less overtime. fuck reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hopefully some automotive and home repair communities start filling with info so we'll be directed here over time!

@zinklog I'm on reddit and my app will work even after the pricing kicks in (RedReader). But I am happy many communities moved here - they make my fediverse experience more interesting.

I try not to keep myself captive from one server so I follow communities from a variety of Lemmy servers, as well as on other platforms like Kbin, guppe, chirp.social, Friendica, Lotide etc.

I blocked all reddit domain names, delete reddit and will never come back... Right now I feel the carving like any other drug abuse. Thankfully I wasn't that much of a reddict and were scrolling through healthy subreddits. Keep save, don't fall for the poisonous digital social drug !

I still feel a bit like going through withdrawal, especially in the moments where I would just get out the phone and would mindlessly browse through reddit. I still get out the phone and stare at it a bit until I realize what I was trying to do. Didn't realize how bad it has become until in then last few days.

Switch back to what? I nuked my account's posts and comments, then deactivated it, and I'm here.

So yeah, I'm here to stay, like it so far. I'm just hoping the enthusiasm I feel, and see with the others, won't die out in a few days/weeks.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not married to Lemmy just yet, but I really can't see myself going back to Reddit. I think the only actual utility I get out of Reddit these days is keeping up on Gaming news - I used to get a ton of value out of a subreddit for my profession, but the head admin there seems to be a bit of a heel & most of the quality contributors already moved elsewhere before the blackout.

I think its been easy to ignore the fact that Reddit is just like every other silicon valley social media company. Enshittification was always on the roadmap - I just had hoped that Reddit would've been a bit more graceful about it. In retrospect, it's terrifying that we have this much human knowledge & history tied to one platform.

I'm having fun here but will be glad to maybe have useful results for my obscure tech support googling again

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna stay here unless I hear there are changes. I only use Joey for Reddit, and if they take it away I'll only go via web searches, where some niche info is buried in a 10 yr old reddit post.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been here for years already, but I'm still going to be checking Reddit. There are subs there that either don't exist here (r/TaylorSwift - yes, really) or have a close-knit community that I can't see moving to lemmy anytime soon (r/greyhounds), or exist but are really just something like placeholders but where I get tons of aggregated news where an RSS would be ridiculous to curate (r/soccer and r/liverpoolfc).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use one of the dying 3rd party apps. Once it dies on the 30th I'm out. I may log in on occasion on old.reddit in the future on my PC but on mobile I'll be done. Or possibly when I'm searching for something on my browser and reddit results come up. But adblockers there mean no money for reddit and definitely no engagement as I'll just be looking for an answer and leaving.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'll probably still append Google search with reddit until I can do so with Lemmy, Squabbles, or Tildes.

I've also been checking reddit to wait for the next round of Tildes invites and using it for one very specific education related subreddit that I don't think would ever migrate somewhere else because it's too niche, but other than that I'll be avoiding the rest of Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm here now. Reddit is just bots and repeat content. Most of it will find its way over here at some point. The stuff that stays? Eh, probably not worth it anyway.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

i wanna be here 100%, but if i have specific questions already answered on reddit (most of the time), i tend to go there, will be hard x.x

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking I'll stop in, in like a week or so, but before sync shuts down and see about what I want to salvage.

Probably will also backup my reddit account and delete from the web version at some point in july once most of the 3rd party apps are shut down maybe sooner.

Might continue to use reddit as an accountless lurker on the web version occasionally, but I am taking this as a change to lower my overall social-media-on-my-phone-aimlessly time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I prefer use both because i liked Lemmy

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm giving lemmy a good try. Interface seems nice, I like the federated nature of it, we can only hope that we get more users, so I'll stick it out and see if the users come (and they should)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

already deleted my account, there is no going back.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.

Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.
