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.

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 :)
Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.
Preaching to the choir to ask this here, tbh
but, yes.
RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is βalmostβ as good as Sync for Reddit was.
For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.
The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!
I have replaced it as my active site,
So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.
Yes, but I also use Squiggy too
Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. π
Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.
Already done.
I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now
Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.
The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.
I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.
No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.
just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.
Im so happy I found this place
Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...
Been here for a few days. Feels like home
Other than some specific subs, yes
Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.
Iβm fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.
I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.
Well, this is nice, hello
Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and havenβt turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
Please dont tell anyone how I live
