No Stupid Questions

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

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 spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously

That's... why I'm here.

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.

I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.

Same, replaced RIF with Jerboa in my home screen. I do miss few communities but I think is only matter of time.

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.

I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

i am here to browse less, and engage more. I hope to spend about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I did on Reddit, as everyone's time is finite. I am not going back after browsing through the communities, which I think will grow in time.

Engagement is key

I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.

Me, I stopped browsing reddit actively unless trying to find an answer on Google.

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

As of now, yeppp

I've spent FAR more time on kbin than I have reddit since the blackouts. I know the Relay app will be gone at the end of the month, so I figured I'd get a jump on trying to get used to another platform. I refuse to be forcefed ads, so there is no other option for me with reddit as a mobile user.

Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P

I check back in periodically, but I'm making an effort to participate on here as much as possible. Loving it so far. Yeah, there are still a few kinks to be worked out, but overall the transition has been seemless to me.

The biggest issue I have come across is trying to wrap my head around instances and how to browse what where.

I dowloaded Jerboa and started on lemmy.world, and when I found out about all the others instances and different sites to browse and subscribe to.

Im sure with some more time, I'll get a handle on it.

The only time I go to back is when I ask something on Google and the only way to get an answer is to go to Reddit. Beyond that Lemmy is my new r/all.

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.
