Asklemmy

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

Right now using both.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Already did

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

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%.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I was looking to leave anyways. As soon as I saw the API changes I shut down my 10 year old, 3 comment account and moved here.

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.

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

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

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.

I am not replacing it.

I have already done it few weeks ago.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

yep

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

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

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
