I'm mostly using Lemmy, but I still use reddit for some things where the lemmy communities are too small (like live sports discussion). If I'm googling for an answer to something I'll still include 'reddit' in the search because there is a huge wealth of info in past reddit threads.

Yeah I refuse to use their trash app
Yes, the fediverse makes sense. Centralisation is a cancer
yep, feels like old reddit and i'm so so happy!
Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasnβt been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isnβt enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.
Im trying. But, for the love of god, i cant seem to understand how all this works.
Reddit has become so bad lately that I am trying to. Still a few smaller communities I am missing though sadly.
So far I'm liking it. I wasn't fond of the general attitude people had on reddit though, and I'm seeing some of the pop up as a result of the migration.
I have concerns that the lemmy community will become as toxic as reddit is. Other than that, I am enjoying how small communities are here. I don't feel like my voice is being drowned out by other users or bots.
99% so far. I rarely open Reddit at all aymore.
Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.
I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.
Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.
Absolutely. Deleted account.
I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.
Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.
Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.
Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.
(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit π)
I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.
I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.
now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.
I deleted my reddit account (and all my content beforehand) so yeah...still looking around for matching communities though.
Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.
If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!
For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.
If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.
I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs thoughβ¦
Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.
Iβm here 99.9999% of the time
I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.
Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.
I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.
I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.
Simply yes. Not going back
Yes, I just recently created my Lemmy account and had to answer a question like "why did you choose this username".
What did you answer, OP?
not yet. because Lemmy is still quite small tbh. But, the thing is Since Reddit new API policy starts, my Reddit home feed filled with spam,bots and double posts from many subs. So, if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I might move to Lemmy permanently.
Currently going back and forth because there are still some subreddits that don't have an active community.
Hopefully, soon most if not all niche I follow will have a dedicated community here.
Also, still waiting for a better mobile client (excited for boost for lemmy and relay for lemmy).
I didn't remove my Reddit account yet, but I stopped using it as soon as I tried Lemmy. As I expected, it's not perfect, it still needs some love on the technical side, but people and content are already here. I'm pretty happy with my feed so far. I can only see it grow and getting better, but I guess we'll find out how the fight with spam bots will be.
