Sure do.

I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!

I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!

Boost stopped working

This works great

No reason to go anywhere

I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).

Mostly

A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.

I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance πŸ”°

These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, it’s Lemmy only

[–] Secret300@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

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.

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good

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 :)

I gave Lemmy a shot after the API debacle on reddit. First week was bumpy with lots of timeouts and servers that weren't able to handle all the new users from reddit.

It quickly improved. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account.

[–] UnelectedReimu@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now

[–] MortyMcFry@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Already done.

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

[–] surge_1@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
