For the foreseeable future, I’ll use both. Despite everything, reddit still has tons of niche groups that I like to read. Lemmy and Kbin are still young and I want to see them grow, mature, and surpass Reddit, but that is not going to happen overnight.

[–] piezoelectron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

I'm staying here to be honest.

[–] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Between the website and mlem, I believe Lemmy has a decent user experience so far. I’m only monitoring Reddit to see how bad they are doing

[–] notExactlyI20@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Already deleted my account, but still having Infinity installed. Hopefully someone can make it work with the Lemmy API (as the dev gave consent for someone to fork his project to make it work with Lemmy)

I have some helpful information posts saved for future use, which I'll try to archive if the subs they were on are up, but given some are now talking about extending the blackout and other users are deleting their posts, if the stuff isn't there I'm just going to stop using Reddit altogether. No sense prolonging the inevitable.

[–] coldv@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I set up an RSS reader for my favourite subreddits so basically I have Reddit on read-only mode. I will save my engagement for Lemmy.

I may still click Reddit links in Google searches if I can't find answers elsewhere.

My plan is to try to use this exclusively and advertise it to my friends who are looking to get away from Reddit as well.

I won't go back unless they reverse the changes. And even the it would just be for the subreddits that don't have equivalents here at the moment

[–] areyouevenreal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I will be using both for now.

I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won't be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it's something I am very glad exists though. It's the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it's very promising with a few rough edges.

P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here πŸ˜‰

[–] Kyoyeou@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

If I don't lie to myself,

I know I'm going to first go on Lemmy, scroll and comment and post Then if it gets boring or what seems to be the case where I see again and again the same post for 2 days in a row, then I'll go to Reddit to continue

[–] ChrisStarwalker@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

During the blackout I redacted all my comments over the past 10 years but I don't think it let me redact the ones from private subreddits, so I'll return to redact those as they open up. After that I don't plan on going back. Sad times. High hopes for the fediverse though.

[–] s4if@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I will use both. I still need to follow some subreddit to get news on money-grabbing-mobile-games I'm addicted to.. lol
I will try to use lemmy more as much as I can though...

[–] average650@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm going to try to just use lemmy. Reddit removing moderators over this is BS and too much.

But, until everything I used it for is replaced, I will still participate in some communities over there.

[–] Shovel@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

Both. Eventually want to change to just Lemmy/kbin tho

[–] ratz30@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm done using reddit on mobile without 3rd party apps. Might drop in occasionally on desktop looking for answers to whatever niche hobby thing I can't find here. My usage will certainly be much less than before though.

[–] gimlithepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'll do both for a bit and see what happens.

I'm done posting on reddit, and I'm only interacting with specific subs (maybe via web with an ad blocker). But until the community here gets a little bigger I'll probably still go there to look at content.

That said, I'm trying to make an effort to post a few things daily somewhere in Lemmy. Be the change you want to see and all that jazz.

[–] dylan@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Lol no. I'll still use if I need answers forma google search, but other than that, I'm out.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I already erased all of my post history for all of my accounts on Reddit. I'm not saying that I won't go back to a specific group to read something if I need it or Google search something If the sub still exists in the data still there. But there would have to be something pretty substantial for me to ever actually log in and recontribute to any community there.

Whether I stay on Lemmy or not depends on the content here. I'm not one to spend hours a day doom scrolling, My work is 10 minutes on 5 minutes off kind of thing so it's nice to have something to read and ponder in my down time but honestly I was spending way too much of it on Reddit anyway.

[–] janonymous@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I think I'm going to stay. I'll try it for a few days or weeks. If I can get used to new interface, especially on mobile (jerboa currently) then I'm going to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit and delete my account. Going to use this as the final motivation to delete my Twitter and Facebook accounts as well. I'm not using them anymore anyway. I hope this is going to be the start of a bigger change around the internet away from these corporation owned sites.

i'v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account

[–] cannoli69@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Probably both for now, but I've been using Lemmy more and more.

[–] alm42@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I stay here, Reddit have much user and content for now but I think Lemmy grows fast. Anyway, sometimes, β€œless it’s more”, so..

[–] dillydalclub@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I almost exclusively used RIF to interact with Reddit so I won't be going back.

I'll stay here, learn how to navigate and interact with platform and try to be a bigger creator than I was over there.

[–] apepi@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Gonna work on reducing my reddit use while I find enough places here to fill all those little brain-itch niches.

Hopefully phase out reddit eventually. But not immediately.

[–] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here

[–] Magrid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'll stay here for now as I'm learning how lemmy work

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

personally I'll probably use reddit as well as lemmy for a few weeks, but less and less. I use a 3rd party client (slide for reddit) and dont intend to go back to the official app, when Ive last used it I found it unusable and this whole incident has really soured my opinion of it. I may occasionally visit it on desktop after that is gone, I actually dont mind new reddit on desktop unlike most, but since I dont usually use social sites on my desktop anyway and again, have been liking reddit less after this, I dont foresee myself using it that way much and probably will leave entirely after awhile. Lemmy doesnt really have all the small communities reddit does, but that does seem to be changing pretty rapidly. Im sure a whole lot of recent lemmy users will go back after awhile, but given the apps havent even shut down yet, my hope is that enough people come and stay for there to be enough to be happy with, even if its nowhere near the user count of reddit

[–] woobie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm going to continue coming here. My exit from Reddit is a slow slide... I only use old.reddit plus Apollo and RIF clients. When 3rd party clients are gone I will not use the official app, and I do not intend to continue accessing my feed daily. I don't believe that I'll delete my account - if that data in context can help someone else in the future, that's still a good thing.

[–] theusualuser@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

By and large I don't feel the need to go back to reddit, as I can get the news and other things either here or in different places. There are a few very specific subs that I'll probably visit from time to time on desktop, but I'll never use that garbage reddit app.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

[–] Bleumunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I will be using both until rif shuts down, but only to support / upvote posts and comments about the death of Reddit.

My many year old Reddit account is gone, and I spun up a new Reddit account that is essentially a throwaway referencing the death of Reddit.

I want to make sure this isn't just a two-day and done issue. I feel this is the death of Reddit, the same as it was the death of Digg.
