I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.

I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.
Yeah
Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, havenβt used it since
I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.
Yes, next question
How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.
But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove π€
Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and havenβt turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!
Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit
Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.
So far yep! Why not?
Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?
Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
This is my first Lemmy comment ever!
I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.
( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
Infinity is still working at the moment but today I removed it from my home screen and replaced with a Lemmy app. There isn't a community replacement for every subreddit I follow just yet but hopefully Lemmy and other Fediverse services will continue to grow.
Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.
In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.
Lemmy doesn't have that debt.
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
