Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, haven’t used it since

Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video

[–] Metasyntactic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] thesalamander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.

Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.

[–] TheSleepMovement@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So far yep! Why not?

Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?

Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.

This is my first Lemmy comment ever!

TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.

[–] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.

[–] Woshimaraci@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.

[–] Bz2486@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now

[–] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.moorefam.net 2 points 2 years ago

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.

[–] S3mI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

[–] Popinguj@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.

Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They can they just deliberately chose to make it shitty.

I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.

I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.

This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.

[–] siliril@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.

[–] JarasM@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.

[–] Casmael@geddit.social 2 points 2 years ago
[–] vert3xo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.

[–] preasket@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
