I browse through brave browser out of spite now hit after downloading Memmy I’ve found myself on Lemmy way more than Reddit. Also feel I contribute a lot more to conversations than I did on Reddit.

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

[–] Auzy@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, other than ending up at Reddit because I'm searching for something, which I'll call passive use. My active use of posting and commenting is entirely on Lemmy

[–] nic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that yeah this is it for me. lemm.ee + wefwef

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.

I'm caught between the two at the moment.

My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.

Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

I think I accidentally opened reddit once, trying to get an answer from a google search. I'm done with Reddit.

[–] havuq@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ditched! Didn’t look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.

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

I only ever go there to check the front page/news now. Lemmy is growing fast, but being decentralized, at the moment it's still easier to catch up on politics and world news using reddit.

[–] TGhost@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Would be easiers by subscribing to theses communities until they merge in one. You will see more subjects that interest you.

Until the merge, I have different accounts with different orientations.

Actually, if u don't do that, Lemmy is really "hazardous".

Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.

As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.

[–] Cyantraveller@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I still have to get some info from my reddit account before deleting everything, but soon.

[–] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.

[–] Lemmyatem@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Just hoping lots of communities get as popular as asklemmy and showerthoughts. Sad looking up some Reddit equivalents and seeing 2 subscribers and no posts.

[–] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

100%. Lemmy is my new drug.

[–] Pat@kbin.run 1 points 2 years ago

I started by switching to Lemmy, loved it, but as I read more about Kbin I decided to give it a shot to combine both content aggregation and microblogging in one account. A bit less polished than Lemmy and no mobile apps yet, although some are in early development and testing, but I've been really enjoying having quick access to the best of both worlds.

Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.

[–] mattchu_c@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much. I also started using squabbles.io the other day and am enjoying that so I think I'll be replacing Reddit with both.

gock.........

[–] moridinbg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too

I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.

[–] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I'm slowly transitioning over to Lemmy with the goal of eventually ditching Reddit.

[–] HikerAdam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.

Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I haven't deleted anything on reddit, but I have not been back there since the protests began. The Fediverse is my new home and I am happy to be here.
