It is possible to estimate?

At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe make a poll?

I almost left reddit years ago after one of their constant BS things but the API one was the last straw. They lost 4 relatively active accounts when I left. It has been great watching the communities on the fediverse grow.

[–] Cat@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

Left after I found lemmy

I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.

Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

[–] npz@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

[–] gianni@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.

[–] Migillope@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't passively use it anymore, but I'll use it as a reference for past posts.

"How to determine undertone lemmy" doesn't really work like "... reddit"

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

technically, i dropped reddit for tumblr.....lemmy is a sometimes indulgences

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

1 here, occasionally I view an old post while troubleshooting something and a Reddit page has the answer. Always with an ad blocker and old Reddit though of course so Spez gets nothing from me

Dropped it and haven't looked back.

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I have dropped it, approximately by 98%

I mainly browse Lemmy here with Sync for Lemmy, and when I want some more niche stuff I head up to Reddit with patched Sync for Reddit, so yeah, Sync is always with me.

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago

I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.

[–] frshmt@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

🙋🏻‍♂️

[–] barnsbauer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I'd like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.

[–] Wardacus16@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I use both Reddit and Lemmy now. I used to use RiF on mobile but now Reddit for me is pc only. Liftoff for Lemmy has taken over that spot on my phone now. The main reason I haven't been able to completely switch is just the lack of some of my favourite sub Reddits switching over to Lemmy. The Lemmy communities exist but they're lacking numbers.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I did. Barring search results.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

[–] Jayb151@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.

Tbh I felt Reddit was getting less interesting and more of a habit, Apollo was the last straw. Lemmy is small and a much less active, but more random. Prob good to reduce the mindless scrolling.
