I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part

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

If I'm being honest I'll be using both at least until Sync officially shuts down. After that reddit will be 100% old.reddit on the laptop, and when the quality takes a dive from mods quitting/mod tools getting nuked then lemmy all the way

The official app is terrible and not worth suffering for a dopamine hit. I know spending all that time scrolling on the phone isnt good for my mental health so I suppose this makes for a good opportunity to readjust.

I think I’ll use both. Though my time on Reddit dwindles.

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

Going to stay with Lemmy for now. I had already been looking for an alternative to reddit even before this whole fiasco and Lemmy has what I'm looking for so far.

Im staying here

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

Definitely stay. Haven't left reddit, but I want to see all the same communities here that I had there whether or not they return. Also betting on the software and algorithms here improving, having posts update more often, but not have the page auto-refresh which seems to be a bug.

Also just had a bug where it was the wrong post I found myself in while typing the comment. Although the other comments below were for the correct one, so I'm guessing that's an issue with what's being loaded within the page rather than the page itself being wrong.

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

honestly, if Sync and old are both dying, I'm just gonna go without. I have built up so many tools and extensions to avoid ads being shoved in my face constantly on the internet, it's not worth it. probably should get back to reading more books instead of fucking scrolling constantly.

Reddit on mobile for the moment, but on PC Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy on mobile is pretty much unusable.

I am really enjoying the concept of Lemmy but am still learning about it. I'll probably stick around to see how it grows and evolves. I kind of like not being on Reddit.

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

I’m staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.

personally I'll probably use reddit as well as lemmy for a few weeks, but less and less. I use a 3rd party client (slide for reddit) and dont intend to go back to the official app, when Ive last used it I found it unusable and this whole incident has really soured my opinion of it. I may occasionally visit it on desktop after that is gone, I actually dont mind new reddit on desktop unlike most, but since I dont usually use social sites on my desktop anyway and again, have been liking reddit less after this, I dont foresee myself using it that way much and probably will leave entirely after awhile. Lemmy doesnt really have all the small communities reddit does, but that does seem to be changing pretty rapidly. Im sure a whole lot of recent lemmy users will go back after awhile, but given the apps havent even shut down yet, my hope is that enough people come and stay for there to be enough to be happy with, even if its nowhere near the user count of reddit

I have an obligation for one week on a sub early July but then I’m fully out. I’ve already deleted posts.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I don't get why people delete posts. You're just making the archives incomplete:(

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

That’s kind of the point. Reddit still benefits from that content.

Deleted my Reddit account for nearly 2 years already and never felt better. I was just reading through old.reddit so far.

Here I’ve only spent 1-2 times a month reading and posting basically because I don’t understand it that much yet and didn’t get used to it; on initial usage, I could only say the content’s not the same as Reddit but that could be just an issue on my side because I’ve subscribed to some weird stuff…

Lemmy has potential, the more users would join I think it would become even better, however it’ll make it harder for moderators as a large flock of bots would have to be filtered

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

Most likely I will "specialize" reddit for sports stuff only.

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

I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.

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

I will use both. I still need to follow some subreddit to get news on money-grabbing-mobile-games I'm addicted to.. lol
I will try to use lemmy more as much as I can though...

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

I'm gonna use both until I find more meme groups here tbh

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

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