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
Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.
As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

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.

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.
yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over
Yeah for the most part I have. Thereβs still a few things and reasons Iβm still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on
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'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.

Yes, as should everyone.
Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it's better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.
trying
Preaching to the choir to ask this here, tbh
but, yes.
Be the Community You Want to See On Lenny. Whereever 2 or more are gathered in his name, Lemmy Bruce will be there.
Yeah, I take regular breaks to go fuck around on 4chan from time to time and rather than come back for my seasonal reddit adventure, I chose Lemmy.
Basically a drop-in replacement. Does Infinity have support yet?

"docile alligator wants to continue relations with Reddit and make Infinity subscription based so he's obviously not going to do this himself (since that would definitely end relations with Reddit by breaking terms of service)."
Ughhh LAME
I never really used Reddit. I would scroll through it if I was really bored and occasionally post but never that much. I stopped because of the API just because it was really easy to stop. It could only be good for me to remove that one other thing that tricks my mind into doom scrolling. So will I be using Lenny? It would probably be good for me to not and go do more productive things. But I feel like if I have free time, supporting this is definitely good, I really like the goal and don't want it to die.
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 bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.
Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.
Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.
I'm trying. Since boost stopped working. I have been on reddit twice. It's a painful shit experience now and I hate it.
But also. Lemmy isnt quite enough yet. But it's helping me stay off the web more.
FB sucks. Reddit sucks and lemmy isn't itching my need for information.
Oh well. :).

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement
( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
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...
Yes, next question
