I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.

I uninstalled Reddit when Infinity died

[–] siewyuk@monyet.cc 1 points 2 years ago

I'm tempted to go back... but only to see how are things going, how's the outcome of the exodus and such

Yes, I am and I have. I have up my reddit account a month ago.

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.

Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.

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

I already did.

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

I'm slowly transitioning over to Lemmy with the goal of eventually ditching Reddit.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say β€œgood riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.

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

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

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

I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.

It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.

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

I don't really use Reddit any more.

[–] brad@toad.work 1 points 2 years ago

Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader

[–] jcb2016@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!

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

Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.

I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.

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

Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. Mostly because I got permabanned from Reddit about a year ago for making offensive jokes and trying to appeal a sub ban by using an alt account. Given what's happening now on Reddit, it seems I didn't lose much.

However, the fact that this site clearly states on its rules that it's not a free speech space means that it will never ever be as good as Reddit on its early years.

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

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

All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.

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

Already have 😏

[–] kairo79@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?

[–] RunAwayFrog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.

Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google

Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.

[–] RockinGamr99@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.

[–] rschecht@lemm.live 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.

[–] SapphicFemme@lib.lgbt 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Cyantraveller@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I still have to get some info from my reddit account before deleting everything, but soon.

[–] Patrizsche@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
[–] martyc3@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was fairly new to Reddit but really liked the way it was organized by topic. It was easy for me to delete my few posts and then delete my account. So I'm now rooting for Lemmy and seeing nice progress. Also looked at Threads and was amazed how well it worked right out of the gate. It shows what a multi million dollar budget can accomplish.

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

95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.

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

Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.

I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.

[–] brayd@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

[–] StellarExtract@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.

Reddit --> Lemmy 4 me 2
