I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.

Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.

Yes, but

The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.

I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.

Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.

Slick interface. Text-heavy. OG Redditors.

I’ll stay for sure if it picks up.

I feel so let down by Reddit. I had two accounts with a combined Karma of 800k. I only posted original content. I posted thousands of comments. Reddit was an ingrained part of my daily life for years.

Then both accounts were permanently suspended immediately after I called out a bot phishing scam. Two appeals rejected. I was gutted. Still am.

Reddit is hedging everything on AI / LLM populating the entire site. Who needs human content creators anymore?

So, yeah. If Lemmy grows, I’ll be arguing, trolling, and jesting here for many years to come.

yup. but wee need more feature like real polls.

I think so. It was hard to leave reddit at first, I didn't realize how hooked into that ecosystem I was. Now that there are more people interacting with Lemmy and more communities popping up, I think I'll continue to stick around. Lemmy does seem to be turning the corner from reddit bashing into its own environment, which is refreshing.

Lemmy seems promising, its rough around the edges and needs work, but so was Digg when I first joined and the same with Reddit. It seems like the Lemmy developers and the iOS developers (I'm sure the same with Android, but I only have iOS devices) are working hard on both bug fixes and quality of life updates, which is encouraging.

Time will tell, I like it atm.

Been looking for a viable alternative to reddit for a long time!

Yeah! Fills my reddit void

I realized how much of a marketing cesspool Reddit has become once I left it. That along with the whole doom scrolling has been toxic to my mental health. So I am much better off without it.

That said, the fediverse seems to be a little too small especially for niche topics. Plus the this world still needs some tool/interface to unify it and make it easier to use. I still go back reddit once in a while for those niche communities but I have logged out for the first time in a decade+ from reddit.

I have started focusing on my hobbies more, the whole reddit fiasco has been a reminder that it is not just FB that is bad, it is everything including Reddit and in time possibly places like this if it grows.

Yes, obviously.

Yeah!

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

Definitely. I've gone all-in on the non-corp social media: Lemmy, Mastodon, Peertube, Pixelfed, so far. This is a refreshing experience. I know that what I am shown has nothing to do with an algorithm designed to keep me engaged and looking at ads. LOL Social media run by people in the society, not corporations, is the water I put my boat into.

Just tried it for a few hours. Seems good, similar to reddit. But yeah, the fediverse part is confusing.

Some issues I have so far are, (1) when searching for communities, it seems that they are fragmented throughout the fediverse, whereas in reddit they are in one place. which makes it kinda odd and well (2) it's kinda small-knit. which I guess is good but feels odd coming from a large site to a small one.

Still, I'm gonna give it a try. to me its something new but similar :)

I do not have much of a choice in this. No matter how good or bad Lemmy is, Reddit is not an option anymore for me: I do not want my data to get monetized. I should own the comments I write, not them. Also, the recent events really showed that Reddit administration board cannot be trusted: continuing to use Reddit would be silently supporting their behavior, which I just can't.

So far I like what I'm seeing in Lemmy. Yes, it's not as good as Reddit used to be, but I am sure that with time it will be similar to what I was experiencing. And I'm enjoying it already.

Yes! Lemmy keeps getting better and better everyday. Im loving it!

Absolutely, I'm not going back to Reddit after the shit they pulled.

Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.

Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise

LLL

yes

I actually much prefer lemmy. But unlike most, I'd much prefer it not become a reddit clone. Once there is too many people it becomes a search engine, a long line of puns and hot takes. Just my 2 cents. I prefer engaging discussion over content. The content is just there to get the ball rolling. Either way, I'm perfectly happy with lemmy in whatever it evolves into and I'm glad I'm here with everyone, and I'm really enjoying this early stage. I have always much preferred small communities in my own life. This is the only sm I use rn.

Also unlike most I actually really enjoy the home brew vibe. Having to struggle and work around bugs and stuff is kinda fun. Lol

Yes

Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.

I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.

I’m liking it, especially with this WefWef web app thing for iOS. Staying because I’m not going back to Reddit

Definitely! Immediately before switching to Lemmy I found myself scrolling looking for something interesting, meanwhile everything on Lemmy is fresh and exciting. Loving it so far!

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

Yes!

If it gets better ( and I hope it does). I cannot tolerate using reddit's official app, but my experience on lemmy has been buggy and slow so far. Also my favorite subreddit has no sign of migrating yet.

Yesss

Yes I'd be an idiot to go back to a closed system under corporate control. Its not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. We are seeing the web closing up now and if we don't vote with our choices and content we will only be left with corporate walled silos with paid subscriptions to read, ads to watch, tracking on everything.... Skip and few steps and we and up with black mirror.

The narrative needs to be democratic. Same thing with privacy , if youbcant have a private conversation you can't bring about change. I hope you'll all stay too

I'll definitely be sticking around to see what happens with Lemmy. I may end up using kbin primarily but am very much interested in subscribing to Lenny communities across instances. It's been tremendous fun learning about the Fediverse and ActivityPub, and I also think that decentralization is a good response to what we have all witnessed with centralized social media

yep really like it here

Yes

Where would I go?

I will stay, just have to figure out more how it actually works.
