Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=XSoOrlh5i1k

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

In early June I decided to give Lemmy the old test drive, and I haven't left. Bye Reddit.

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, other than ending up at Reddit because I'm searching for something, which I'll call passive use. My active use of posting and commenting is entirely on Lemmy

[–] Kahizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm caught between the two at the moment.

My Reddit app (Relay) is still working for now so I'm using that to browse the few communities that don't have a foothold here yet.

Once Relay kicks the bucket I'll be forced to browse in Firefox with uBlock and that'll definitely cut down the amount of time I spend on there.

Once RiF went, so did I. After I replaced the app location in my phone with Connect, I didn't have any reason to spontaneously visit Reddit.

As long as I can use RES, I'll still visit when I'm searching for an answer.

[–] havuq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ditched! Didn’t look back. Really enjoying lemmy and content is picking up.

[–] mattchu_c@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty much. I also started using squabbles.io the other day and am enjoying that so I think I'll be replacing Reddit with both.

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

[–] HikerAdam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.

Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.

[–] letbelight@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This is my first acc on lemmy, so yes, I do want to move to... Lemmy

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm about 80% over to Lemmy myself. There's enough content here that I can doomscroll memes to my heart's content now. Reddit, I still end up on on my PC for a few more niche subreddits. Mobile though, I'm just sticking to wefwef/Lemmy until a good GTK client for Lemmy is available (both good options are still in beta right now).

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

[–] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really use Reddit any more.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

[–] StellarExtract@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago

Basically! I still haven't found equivalents for everything I was following on Reddit since my account there is 13 years old, but I have found more than I expected. Just since late June when I started lurking here it seems to have grown significantly. I suspect there's a higher proportion of longtime Redditors who have left recently since we've seen it abandon the principles it was founded on.

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

Yes, I am and I have. I have up my reddit account a month ago.

[–] SighBapanada@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago
[–] brayd@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

[–] maniel@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc

Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them

[–] brad@toad.work 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't even opened reddit from google results since the protest started. I've also been removing subreddits from my RSS reader

I never used Reddit before this, I didn’t really like the idea of using Reddit. But now I can use Reddit without actually using Reddit.

Reddit --> Lemmy 4 me 2

[–] Gray@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Dardlem@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.
