Reddit

I did after almost 12yrs. Haven't looked back

+1

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.

I did.

I left. I check reddit maybe once every 2 weeks for one single subreddit, for medical reasons. It's still the best source of information for me in this particular situation.

Sometimes I miss the constant feed of fresh posts but then I remember that I really don't need that. I'm still up to date on pretty much everything I need with Lemmy and I'm not constantly doomscrolling like I was on reddit.

left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.

Great works Spez you fucking dolt.

I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.

I still go back to reddit for specialized subs which don't have equivalents here, but that's only in my work desktop.

I also delete my replies after a few days

All my mobile browsing is done on sync and I'm here 75% of the time

Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.

It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.

Never posted on reddit, most communities seemed hostile and unwilling to hear different perspectives. People here seem a lot more reasonable.

Most of the people on here probably did, or traded/split time between the two.

Not that meant of us obviously.

Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.

Another ex-Apollo user here. The only thing I miss is the Stable Diffusion subreddit. If everyone there would come here, Lemmy would be perfect

You can make a few educated guesses based on the jump in lemme users at the time the protest happened.

I still look at Reddit occasionally. But I my usage is like a tenth what it was.

I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.

I did too

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

I use lemmy on my phone, but for the rare occasions I am at my PC I still use reddit, because there are active communities there that don't exist here unfortunately.

me, although my hand was slightly forced with a permaban at the same time. I don't regret it at all, although I do miss some of the niche communities that aren't really taking off here (yet)

I did so that's at least one.

I set on Lemmy.zip during the blackout protest on Reddit, and haven't gone back to it. Don't miss it. Lemmy has grown a lot in the past few months. It's only a fraction of the Reddit userbase size, but steadily filling out and getting better.

Yep, and haven't missed it at all.

I didn't really drop Reddit, I just don't have the easy phone access I used to have so I visit it a lot less now and I don't like their app. I can use Lemmy right here on my phone and found an app that's very similar to BaconReader so I'm good for now.

Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff

I basically did. I stopped using mobile on July 31 since I was using boost and never looked back.

I wrote a case study on the API thing and spent a ton of time researching the different things going down on reddit and off throughout June and July so I used it on PC for that. Haven't really been back since.

I didn't have a choice. I was the victim of a sitewide ban from an overzealous mod...

Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.

Yeah, I stopped using Reddit completely and it has given me a lot of time back in my day. I enjoy Lemmy, but it is not as content rich - which is good because I don't stick around as much as I did on Reddit. It's just enough, should have kicked reddit years ago honestly

Me!

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.

Me

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

I can't access reddit with infinity no more so I guess I'm here

I was a lurker there and I actually participate here. I still go there for videos in specific communities, but I no longer scroll ALL.

I haven't loved back in since Sync for reddit stored working.
