Asklemmy

I've already deleted all of my posts and edited the comments to "FUCK YOU u/spez". I didn't delete the account because the little cunt has a reputation for editing user's comments, I'm just gonna mass edit them from time to time to be sure.

I even changed out the email with an alias one literally saying "fuckyouspez@..." and that fucker hasn't banned me yet.

So far, so good , yes I like it just waiting for sync and boost for lemmy

I’m on lemmy a lot but not all the communities that I frequent on Reddit moved or have enough people over at lemmy.

I've basically left reddit for good. There's some thing I miss there but in general Lemmy fills that void enough that I don't have the urge to go back anymore. If I end up scrolling less because of smaller amount of content then good.

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.

from my phone, i only have access to lemmy. in browser i access both, 50/50. there are 10 or so subs that i frequent on reddit, the rest i'm here. it's hard to let that account go because i put energy into building it and it's 10+ years old. i've been using it to track my journey in life. was planning on aggregating the data.

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?

Pretty much

It's a good 95% because I uninstalled the app. Lemmy has a lot of potential, and that's worth it.

I'm an old lady and I'm trying, it's a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I've also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

Nope, it doesn't have the user base.. hopefully that changes but for right now, I'm using both.

Yeah. I'm just waiting for the subs that I was active at to grow here (mostly space-related subs).

The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?

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).

There are only two subreddits I'm checking right now. One will be defunct when reddit shuts down that app. The other is a gaming subreddit where I'm not going to get the kind of discourse here that is there (yet). I can use their forums but...I like simplicity these days and having everything in one place is just easier.

Yes i have basically replaced Reddit at this point, other than if google search comes up with something I need.

I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.

Both yes and no. Yes the time I used to spend browsing reddit is now spent using lemmy. But the experience is totally different in lemmy. I am a much more active part of the community here whereas I was a lurker at reddit

Yep. I didn't bother installing the normal Reddit app but still needed something to read when all I've got is my phone. Lemmy looks promising.

Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.

Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!

Can't enjoy browsing Reddit on mobile without RiF, and won't use Reddit on PC at all anymore out of principle.

long live lemmy

Yep. The Reddit app I’ve been using no longer works so that’s where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew I’d need time to readapt and get away from the platform. I’m glad I did that. I haven’t opened it since.

Yes. Reddit is only checked for about 2-3 subreddits, but I'm not checking it daily. Lemmy and Mastodon are my new best friends.

I browse Lemmy almost exclusively, but adding "reddit" to the end of a Google search is still the easiest way to solve issues I'm looking up.

Got some nsfw and philosophy subreddits that scratch a certain itch but it doesn't feel right using the terrible official client. Mostly using Lemmy nowadays.

Yep, thats the plan anyways. I believe in free speech and, as a former Apollo and Joey user, I have zero tolerance for bullshit companies whose entire goal is to turn my words into training tools for AI in their pursuit of a multi billion dollar IPO.

If they want me back, they can pay me.

That being said, its looking like this transition may take awhile. Im not even sure if my ev, worldnews and other subs exist here yet.

But, its exciting times! Reminds me of the first time I posted to slashdot news back in 1999 and reddit back in 2012.

Edit - I also have a mastadon account, Salty Muskrat can eat it too.

Yup girldick, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy and I'm happy!

Yepp, waiting for the new Sync app but really liking it here so far.

I mostly have by now, had to look for community analogues of the subreddits most important to me and create communties that I missed on lemmy. On Reddit I was mostly lurking around but here I actually have the motivation to post and manage communities, since I this is an open and decentralized platform.

I think you meant to post on asklenny xD

I have tried to but am currently using both although I only use reddit on my computer at home. Sadly I find that the content just isn't here. Sure there's a lot of tech and gaming stuff but if you aren't interested in that then there isn't all that much else

I've abandoned reddit.. just hoping that them nsfw subreddits come over too..

Mostly. I prefer Lemmy. I actually like it enough to run my own instance.

Yup. After seeing Lemmy start to populate with more users and content, I deleted my Reddit account and only use search engines to search for information on Reddit now.

I only come to Reddit to check the status of my data takeout request and use teddit to check out /r/modcoord and /r/redditalternatives though they're winding down. Migration complete, after 3 years.

I'm more of a Carl guy, but Lenny will do.

Seriously, I can see this becoming a full replacement if users continue to migrate. Once Sync for Lemmy is out I will definitely be using that for my bored moments. For now, patched Reddit Sync is still working, so I'm still using it while I can.

That said, Reddit feels dead to me. Browsing now is absolutely not the same as before. As far as I'm concerned they committed suicide.

Yes, deleted my Reddit account

A few of my communities have not migrated at all, so I check back there occasionally.

I am slowly, over the long term. I am still glancing and reading some of the reddit subs that haven't made the move, but I figure over time they'll eventually migrate away. One day I probably won't even look anymore and will have forgotten about Reddit completely.

Yes. 100%. Tinkering with my own lenny instance for me and my friends atm. Once "Sync for Lenny" drops ill bring them all aboard so its a smooth experience for the non-tech users. Also this is my first test post form my lenny instance! All hail LENNY!!
