Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.
No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.
I respect it and am finding lemmy to be a much more wholesome place for discourse anyways. Hope it stays this way for at least a bit.
Haven't been back to reddit, no
Pretty much done with reddit for the time being if not for ever. Been on Lemmy as a filler for my fix.
This describes me. So far it’s been exploring and figuring out how the fediverse works. But there’s a Skyrim “sub” and a Buffalo Bills “sub” and ones for tech and whatnot. So I’m pretty happy so far!
Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.
Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.
Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...
That's... why I'm here.
It won't be the same, but I like the idea of it a lot more than Reddit right now. Some questions for everyone...
**5-10 years down the road, what's to stop another Digg-Reddit-exodus from happening? As users, what can we do to keep this community prosperous, useful, and "good"? **
I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.
I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.
Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.
There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.
I've replaced the spot where Reddit Sync has been for like 10 years with a shortcut to Kbin. That said, I find myself browsing less as there's less content in the meantime. I try avoiding going to Reddit on my computer unless there's literally no other matching Google searches.
I hope we eventually get a lot of that random historical context and information reposted at some point onto any Lemmy instance.
Short answer: Yes!
When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).
So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.
When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.
I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.
On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit
I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.
Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.
I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously
I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.
I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.
It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.
I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.
Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.
I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.
Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.
Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.
So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.
I feel like I have spent more time on Lemmy than I used to on Reddit per day, but that’s likely because of the novelty of it. I assume my usage will level back out to effectively the same as I had on Reddit.
i was on reddit for 10 years. i've just started taking up lemmy and the 'fediverse'. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it's going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i'd otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. 'fediverse' is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.
I’m enjoying it more than I thought
I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.
In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.
I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful
I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!
I'm on reddit some, but less and less.
My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.
I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.
Same. I deleted my reddit profile about ten days ago (didn't think to delete all my posts beforehand, but probably would have not thought it worth the bother).
Just switched recently but I feel as if the communities in lemmy produces quality content than reddit
I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.
Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.
