Not by itself, no.
My current replacements for reddit are:
- A kbin account for serious-posting
- This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
- Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
- (Eventually) an RSS reader
- Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results
I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good
RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now
Yes, but I also use Squiggy too
Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.
As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Mostly
A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.
I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.
I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn't have critical mass yet (and I'm not sure it will).
Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is βalmostβ as good as Sync for Reddit was.
For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.
The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!
So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)
For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
I'm sure I'll be downvoted or ignored, but I am not replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I'm using them both, except on my phone. There, I no longer use Reddit due to the need for the official app.
Lemmy has done a great job in a short time and it has a lot of awesome energy, but it doesn't have the user base to support interesting discussions in niche subjects that I care about, or be a source of information in those. I doubt it ever will, although I'm rooting for it.
If I scroll through Lemmy in my subs or in c/all, I see three things:
- Memes
- Anti-Reddit brigading
- Shitposts
I love me some memes, and Lemmy is actually better than Reddit right now for those, but if I want information, I can't get it on Lemmy. I might be able to get tech news, but I have RSS / Hacker News / Slashdot for that.
As an example, I'm switching from Evernote to Obsidian for note-taking and it's a pain in the ass. Reddit has an 80k user subreddit for Obsidian, where within 10 minutes, somebody solved my problem. That kind of thing is never going to happen on Lemmy.
yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over
Sure do.
I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!
I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!
I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.
Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
Yes, as should everyone.
