I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.

Yes I am
I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O
Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.
I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.
with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me
I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.
I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.
I've mostly moved here, though some of my favorite subs dont have an equivalent community here as of now and I'm a bit bummed about losing them.

Yep
I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.
Yeah
I havenβt been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. Iβm done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.
Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.
But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove π€
Who is Lenny?
I just use both. Lemmy for general browsing and Reddit when I want a more specific community that isn't around yet.
I was never a 3rd party app user really as I just use old.reddit through the browser on my phone so until old.reddit is killed off I'll probably continue to use both. Once thats gone though I won't be using Reddit, new UI is truly awful
Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.
I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.

For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that's pretty much it.
Yeah, just got a temp ban for apparently wrongfully reporting a post. Fuck that place
