Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] greensky@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Fuck reddit

[–] Bz2486@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now

[–] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.

[–] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

[–] EeeDawg101@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I’m 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.

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 2 points 2 years ago

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...

If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.

I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.

[–] Kempeth@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

To about 90% I have. Some communities still simply don't exist or are essentially dead, so for the times where I need something really specific or just a general content fix I still wander over. But it's been a fraction of the time I spent there previously.

[–] checkforupdates@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and haven’t turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!

[–] Boozilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

[–] goodgame@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Well, this is nice, hello

[–] nonexertion@lemmy.run 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Digirip@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Been here for a few days. Feels like home

[–] squirrel_bear@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.

How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.

[–] chakan2@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.

[–] Niggling_Niggard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.

[–] SarcastiSnark@lemmyverse.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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. :).

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit
