Reddit

Yup, 11 or 12 on the account with this name, plus a few before that under a no longer extant account, and a few months without an account as a lurker before that.

I made my first account in 2007. I ended up deleting it before long but I made another in 2009, which I deleted a couple of weeks ago (after manually deleting every comment and post I had ever made).

Officially, I had just reached the 14-year club.

Only 7 years for me, but long enough to hope they miss my traffic.

Yeah around 10 years here

Over 10 years on the account, 1 or 2 extras of lurking before that.

I'm gone for the most part, I don't ever open Reddit just to scroll since I jumped to Lemmy, but I do still add "Reddit" at the end of my Google searches because search engines have become useless and that's still the best way I know to get somewhat unbiased replies on just about any topic.

15 year account deleted, and there was about a one week period where I felt like I was missing something, but I forced myself to stay off of it, and Lemmy helped, I probably couldn't have done it without Lemmy.

Reddit has been absolute shit for at least the last 5 years anyway, I just kept going out of habit... Lemmy is better and reminds me of what initially attracted me to reddit in the beginning.

Anyway, I no longer even have the slightest hint of missing it after that first week of deleting it. That is actually surprising to me. I would have thought after 15 years it might take longer to get over it, but nah, it's actually dead to me. And I say, good riddance to it.

I'm Spartacus.

Me. Around 10-11 year account. It sucks since Reddit has been my landing page ever since joining. It really hurts that greed destroyed a good thing we have there.

But I feel that lemmy has something better to offer.

14 years here… before the Digg migration even

Had an account since 2011. Deleted it mid July. Haven’t logged in once. I miss the metalcore community but that’s about it.

Two accounts. One I used to moderate that I made in 2009, and my other account was made about 10 years ago.

Used RIF on mobile and RES on desktop.

Now I use neither, deleted my moderator account and just left my more personal account to rot. (Don't want to delete everything on that one just yet).

13 years on Reddit.

It makes me sad but I was part of the digg fiasco and switched to reddit. I was hours... And hours a day and pretty active.

I haven't been back to reddit since it killed the Sync for Reddit app. 100% Lemmy now.

9.5ish here

✋

Me. Even paid for Premium for a few years too cuz I wanted to support the site

9 years and 9 months currently.

I started using reddit in 2011, I'm not a power user or major contributor by any means. But I'm a lonely person who got joy out of my small niche communities, and I fear those are the spaces that will take the longest to reappear on lemmy, especially because I have no interest in modding or starting any of them myself. I haven't actually subscribed to any communities on lemmy yet, I'm waiting for the sync app to be ready so things will be more like I'm used to using (aka easier) and then I'll log into old reddit on my computer, write down all the subreddits I'm subscribed to, and begin to see which ones exist on the different lemmy instances and start to make this place feel more like my lil internet home. I liked tithe reddit experience more when I first started using it, and I'm excited for lemmy to kind of have that feeling again, since it's new and small still.

I was in the 13 year club, and most of that was using RIF.

12 years. Migrated to Reddit when Digg collapsed. Reddit slowly changed over the last 4 years or so, for the worse, even before the recent shenanigans. Glad to be here.

Lurked reddit since 2006 (a year after it was founded); joined in 2008.

Leaving wasn't easy. Quitting tobacco was less difficult. But fuck 'em. I'm done.

Nearly 14 years, right after digg imploded.

Sup.

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

Late to the party on this post, but I was a 14 year user. I was ready for a change as the communities I had subscribed to had stayed pretty static and was grateful for a reason to go and find an alternative. I spend less time doom scrolling as I have not yet installed an app on my phone and I think I may keep it that way.

Thanks to all of you for being here and making this a vibrant place.

Checking in.

15+ years for me. Idon't miss it as much as I thought I would.

I started on Digg in the summer/fall of 2005 right around the launching point of Diggnation; maybe 5-10 episodes in. A friend got me introduced to that. I was there until September of 2010 and then made the move to reddit as a part of the Great Digg Migration, and now find myself here on the fediverse

I've never been a very active contributor, but still felt connected and enjoyed seeing the conversations and links that people were sharing

12+years. Deleted my primary and secondary accounts. Haven't looked back.

I think u/jackcooper made it to 10? I was on 2-3 years before making an account

13 years, cut and run when 3rd party app support was killed.

Eight years almost to the day between leaving Reddit then joining here, but I feel like a refugee multiple times over.

Old BBSes briefly; then IRC then and that chat thing Wired had for a while; the various Yahoo boards; Facebook (shudder, only a year or so); but mainly this one forum I loved that Twitter killed; Digg a little on the side; then Metafilter for more than a decade before I buttoned and came to Reddit.

I agree with wreel (how do we "@" people here?) that this feels a lot like the early fora of the original www, even a bit like BBSes on steroids at times.

'ello there! I have my 11 year badge on my primary reddit account. I haven't bothered to go back to reddit, and I don't really have much desire. I'm splitting my time pretty evenly between Lemmy and Squabbles.

I also appreciate that neither of these communities have been completely co-opted by psycho alt-right nutjobs like Voat was.

edit: my biggest regret was that I was something like 12k comment karma away from making it to centuryclub :( that was kind of a big deal as a casual poster who usually showed up to threads way too late.

11 years, and I really haven't missed it. Lemmy has been great (the 3 day no-poop guy was just as good as anything that was on reddit), the apps are getting better by the day, and Mastodon has easily filled the gaps for breaking news.

Haven't deleted my account but I've exclusively been here now. It was a few years old. Want to see Lemmy (and other alternative sites) grow as reddit loses.

I have been trying to make the switch to Lemmy but frankly the content on here is very low quality compared to Reddit for now...

Not quite 10, but close. I joined the site in 2014. Permanently deleted my account at the end of June.

11 years for me.

I joined before Obama was president so that's checks calendar 15+ years.

12 Years, fuck you u/Spez.

16yrs, made an account before the Digg drama, migrated there after.

I’ve not been back since, other than friends linking to stuff there basically

I joined in 2011 and left as soon as Spez got caught trying to accuse Christian Selig of blackmail. I didn't want to help someone so clearly divorced from any reasonable standard of ethics make money

I did.

Honestly Lemmy isn't proving particularly great yet; most of the top posts are from terminally-online agenda posters banging the same identity politics drum I couldn't escape on Reddit.

I think the main reason is the smaller communities here haven't reached critical mass yet. I'm not going back to Reddit, though, because I produced a lot of content for them over the years and they repaid me with a terrible user experience and endless adverts.

Hopefully it'll get better here. If not, maybe something else will pop up. Or I can just find an extra hobby.
