Asklemmy

Yes, the official Reddit app makes me want to puke.

Sure am. Been using Lemmy exclusively (shoutout to Memmy) for the past 3 weeks

no doubt. fuck reddit

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

I wasn't expecting to, but the official reddit app was worse than I expected, you can't sort by 'hot' anymore so it is literally not as interesting to look at. I haven't used it since the switch over and I don't miss it.

I'm in the process... Since they destroyed RiF, I've been going to the old Reddit website but it's just not the same anymore. I've been resisting downloading the Reddit app due to what they've done to the community but it's not easy.

Lemmy is nice and all but I find it confusing as it shows several communities (some with 0 MAU and some with plenty) whenever I search for it. I'm excited for the future of this one and the Mastodon one but they're just not as polished as their more established counterparts.

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

Yes, fuck you spez

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

Already have a month ago, really like it here!

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

Gonna be using both for a while I think. Stopped using reddit on my phone after the api changes forced 3rd party apps to shut down(RIP Sync for Reddit). Only using Reddit on my desktop, using Lemmy on both desktop and android (via LittOff for now, will switch once Sync for Lemmy is out!).

I’ve been strictly here and 4chan

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

Lenny?

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

I'm going the supplementation route for now. Reddit official app is not enjoyable to use. I currently have a work around for my 3rd party app of choice. If the work around ever fails and reddit doesn't improve their app, I'm hopeful Lemmy will grow enough in the meantime to fully fill the reddit void.

Not entirely. There's a couple larger subreddits I enjoy and tbh it's still my go-to for doomscrolling.

However my desire to interact with reddit couldn't be any less. Zero desire to post or comment anything due to the sheer hostility of the site to it's users.

I think if lemmy continues to grow in userbase it could completely replace reddit, but not at this immediate moment.

Right now using both.

I'll be completely real, no.

It's more like it added another folder to my bookmark bar with all of my lemmy instances. I do like the fact that the source code is open source and the overall engagement is through the roof. That's always a good sign.

While lemmy did populate faster than I expected, the experience is not quite the same. It honestly never could be due to the decentralized federated nature of it.

Reddit's mobile experience with patched apps is leagues ahead of lemmy. Desktop is pretty similar though, so all that remains is the size of the community.

I use both maybe 50/50 but my biggest concern is validated every day. The fragmentation is the thing that gets you. It basically places increased burden on the user to manage it. Not sure if there will be a seamless solution to it, or if I have to develop one myself.

Already did

I haven't left completely but I don't have a decent way to access it on my phone anymore so my usage of it is down by like 95%.

Not replacing it, I ditched reddit long ago (maybe 3 years ago). I am loving it.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home
