Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.

Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.
I made an account a few days ago. Iβm actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.
Not yet. Sadly the small communityβs that had me hooked on Reddit in the first place have yet to make it here (HFY my beloved). I also find the current mobile clients a bit jank (in comparison to Apollo) but I hope that situation will get better with time. Anyhow fuq the 1st party Reddit client, I ain't touching that shit. Apollo till it breaks!
Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.
Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.
I did
I don't really use Reddit any more.
95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.
I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.
Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google
I wish but I couldnβt load the comments at the first placeβ¦
The guy from the Simpsons?
So long, dental plan!
Yup.
They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug
I already did.
Yes
Yup, was a loyal Sync For Reddit user. Wasn't sure how I was going to cope to be honest but Lemmy has been great so far.
A mix between hacker news and Lemmy
Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

Yup , havenβt been back to Reddit since Apollo went dark.
I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.
Yes
I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?
Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader
