I'm currently about 90% Lemmy, 10% Reddit for general topics, mostly still hanging on to Reddit for specific games that I haven't found out here yet.

Im trying. But, for the love of god, i cant seem to understand how all this works.
I'm mostly using Lemmy, but I still use reddit for some things where the lemmy communities are too small (like live sports discussion). If I'm googling for an answer to something I'll still include 'reddit' in the search because there is a huge wealth of info in past reddit threads.
Yes, the fediverse makes sense. Centralisation is a cancer
Yeah I refuse to use their trash app
Yes, like many many others. For me, Baconreader was Reddit. Once that stopped working, I left Reddit.
I wonder how many people have 1st July as their Lemmy "cake day".
From what I understand I can subscribe and engage with just about any compatible fediverse website thing in a sort of generic reddit/Twitter environment, right? I don't think I really have to make this choice, just kind of poke around and curate my home page while the app developers work on ease of use and the fediverse itself works on communication and tutorials for people like me (people who fall up stairs)
Edit: I am transitioning away from reddit the vibe sucks and the ads are a joke
There are niche reddit communities I might still interact with.
But I have a combo of NoScript/adblock/ublock origin hard mode and a cancelled premium making sure they donβt get a penny from me, and Iβll prefer to post any useful info on Lemmy instead.
I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs thoughβ¦
Iβm here 99.9999% of the time
I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.
Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.
Simply yes. Not going back
Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.
If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!
For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.
If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.
Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.
Absolutely. Deleted account.
I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.
Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.
Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.
Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.
(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit π)
I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.
I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.
now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.
Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.
I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.
Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.
I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.
I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.
I deleted my reddit account (and all my content beforehand) so yeah...still looking around for matching communities though.
jesssir, deleted all my reddit accs
I've already deleted all of my posts and edited the comments to "FUCK YOU u/spez". I didn't delete the account because the little cunt has a reputation for editing user's comments, I'm just gonna mass edit them from time to time to be sure.
I even changed out the email with an alias one literally saying "fuckyouspez@..." and that fucker hasn't banned me yet.
from my phone, i only have access to lemmy. in browser i access both, 50/50. there are 10 or so subs that i frequent on reddit, the rest i'm here. it's hard to let that account go because i put energy into building it and it's 10+ years old. i've been using it to track my journey in life. was planning on aggregating the data.
I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.
