Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.

As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.

Ditched! Didn’t look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.

A mix between hacker news and Lemmy

I'm caught between the two at the moment.

My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.

Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

I started by switching to Lemmy, loved it, but as I read more about Kbin I decided to give it a shot to combine both content aggregation and microblogging in one account. A bit less polished than Lemmy and no mobile apps yet, although some are in early development and testing, but I've been really enjoying having quick access to the best of both worlds.

[–] mattchu_c@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty much. I also started using squabbles.io the other day and am enjoying that so I think I'll be replacing Reddit with both.

I wish but I couldn’t load the comments at the first place…

[–] Lemmyatem@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Just hoping lots of communities get as popular as asklemmy and showerthoughts. Sad looking up some Reddit equivalents and seeing 2 subscribers and no posts.

Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content

I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.

I haven't deleted anything on reddit, but I have not been back there since the protests began. The Fediverse is my new home and I am happy to be here.

[–] moridinbg@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too

[–] schwim@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

[–] plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. This place is great.

Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc

Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them

[–] indite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

gock.........

[–] SecretPancake@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.

[–] Auzy@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time

[–] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.

[–] hardypart@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

100%. Lemmy is my new drug.

Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience

[–] noisy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I think I accidentally opened reddit once, trying to get an answer from a google search. I'm done with Reddit.

[–] nic@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that yeah this is it for me. lemm.ee + wefwef

[–] moonwalker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.
