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

I try to use lemmy primarely, trying to satiate my need for news and entertainment when I'm on a break. If it's not enough and my front page is stale, i unwillingly creep into reddit.
I guess it's all about content.
I've already let Jerboa take Boost's place on my app bar, but I'm sure I'll keep using Reddit too until Boost ceases to function.
For me Jerboa just isn't there yet in terms of functionality, but I'm hoping it'll get there soon!
I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.
Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.
I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.
I'm fragmenting time between reddit, kbin, lemmy, and squabbles.
I only have a couple more weeks that I'll get to use reddit. The official app is trash, and I'm a 100% mobile user - so when my app dies I'm done there...
I'm waiting for one of these platforms to make a good app and I'll settle there, but until then I'll fragment my time.
Probably going to find myself on Reddit every now and then, but I'd like to keep up with Lemmy too (hopefully primarily)
I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.
lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway
I think the deciding factor will be where content creators (people that post to some degree) go. Lurkers will follow them.
I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.
here nao
I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible
I blocked all reddit domain names, delete reddit and will never come back... Right now I feel the carving like any other drug abuse. Thankfully I wasn't that much of a reddict and were scrolling through healthy subreddits. Keep save, don't fall for the poisonous digital social drug !
Iโm a mod in a small handheld emulator community. Iโm not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but weโll see what they other guys do. As for me, Iโll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.
I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.
Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.
One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.
I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)
Iโm staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.
Mass Effect fan here! I'm just about to head to the IFF on Mass Effect 2! Great ride so far :D
Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit
I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.
Use both.
Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically:
-New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting
I'm not married to Lemmy just yet, but I really can't see myself going back to Reddit. I think the only actual utility I get out of Reddit these days is keeping up on Gaming news - I used to get a ton of value out of a subreddit for my profession, but the head admin there seems to be a bit of a heel & most of the quality contributors already moved elsewhere before the blackout.
I think its been easy to ignore the fact that Reddit is just like every other silicon valley social media company. Enshittification was always on the roadmap - I just had hoped that Reddit would've been a bit more graceful about it. In retrospect, it's terrifying that we have this much human knowledge & history tied to one platform.
I've already replaced Rif with Jerboa on my home screen and don't plan on changing it back. But I'm thinking I'll probably have to start using the official Reddit app for the more niche communities/subreddits. Still haven't downloaded it though!
I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.
use both
I may potentially use both since it's going to take a while for communities/subreddits to make the migration over to lemmy. (Hopefully they will!). But as a big fan of the fediverse I don't have any intention of ditching lemmy (now that I've made an account and tried it)
already deleted my account, there is no going back.
I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.
Most likely I will "specialize" reddit for sports stuff only.
There's still a few subreddits that I'll continue to follow, but it'll be in lurker-only mode and no interaction and no adblock whitelist. My 13-year old main account will be nuked.
If Reddit had acted less crap and unprofessional with these API changes and actually treated 3rd party devs with a minimum of respect, even if 3rd party clients ultimately died anyway, I might have continued and just stuck with old.reddit.com or something. But they didn't.
