Reddit

I had to go and check. 11+ years it seems - oh how the time flies. I was pretty much a lurker so I didn't bother with cleaning up my history. I also never used Digg - I guess I've grown up during the period that Digg was sinking and Reddit gained it's popularity.

Yet it's weird how easily I could replace Reddit with Lemmy after such time. Sure, there isn't an Apollo replacement on iOS but to be honest, I don't currently even want one. Most of the communities have started migrating here as well so I'm not missing anything relevant after all.

Yep, I left when it was announced Apollo was shutting down.

I joined the week that the Rampart ama took place. Reddit's been shite since about 2015 so I'm happy to have found something that feels a bit like those early days.

2008 for me.

13 years here. Not going back!

16+ years. No intentions of going back. The Fediverse is cool, and I’m enjoying it.

11 years over here!

I was there for nearly fifteen years. Been looking for an excuse to dump Reddit for a couple years now, ever since lockdown when I got in the habit of checking Reddit a dozen times a day.

My oldest account was 11.5 years old. Together the 3 of them had half a million karma. Used Relay for most of that time. Haven't used any of my accounts since the API shutdown. This made me not want even visit the site anymore.

I was on Reddit since Digg went the way of the dodo. Changed accounts one time, the one I deleted when Apollo died was just shy of 10 years. It was tough.

Left when Apollo wasn't allowed to continue

11 years. Had to use an extension to manually block Reddit to stop myself from automatically going to Reddit for the first two months.

Not quite there yet, but 8 years and left with Sync.

Would have 12 years in August here. There's some fandom-centric communities that I miss from my old reddit sub list, but honestly I'm thoroughly enjoying lemmy. I mostly stuck to the official app and the desktop old reddit before dropping it for lemmy, It's so damn nice not seeing He Gets Us ads or casino ads like every 4-5 posts. I left reddit just about when they announced the API cost changes and was like, welp that's going to kill everything. I got an email about Lemmy SDF because of my Mastodon and basically said hey might as well jump ship now and check this thing out.

I was a 10 year lurker. Actually post a bit on here..

+1

My account turns 11 on August 11th... lurking 2-3 years prior. As soon as the news was dropped about API changes I came over here and switched between the two. Stopped using reddit overall once my app wasn't supported. I miss my small communities and the news from my city but I can't continue to support it

I left at the start of the blackout which was 2 weeks under 10 years for me.

I put in something like 11 years. It's kong enough to understand that platforms can and will die in 10+ years.

13 years here. Spent a few years before that just lurking.

My cake day was July 11 2011 so almost 12 years to the day when I left.

12 years here on my oldest account

Thirteen years, roughly 800k karma.

Nuked it all when RIF went down.

Present, 11 year old account when I left. Not "deleted" because I'm lazy, but certainly abandoned.

Me.

Yo.

15 years and almost went to a stop going there (I setup a RSS feed for 3 subs, but I actually manually check them twice a week to make sure I'm not missing on important news)

The fediverse as a whole is getting more and more interesting this year. Sure, it's still lacking in amount of content, but it brings me "good enough" content to avoid feeling like I'm missing something.

2013-2023.

8 for me

I'm 10 years, I haven't left Reddit completely but I've definitely started using it significantly less

I don't know. How long ago was 2015? ... Shit I'm old.

15 year club here. Deleted and never looked back.
