No Stupid Questions

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.

I'm just getting used to it and adapting, but I'm liking it.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

Haven't been on reddit since this started. Deleted my account and wont be back

Last week no, this week yes. The learning* curve is steep compared to reddit. I still haven't taken the time to learn enough.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

I have almost completely stopped using Reddit (and I was a huge Redditor for about 12 years). Since it was first released as a beta, I have only used Apollo. With that option soon gone, I decided it was just best to cut Reddit ties and switch over. Lemmy is not Reddit (yet), but I think once there are some decent third-party apps, it definitely has serious potential.

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. Nore specificslly the jerboa app on Android.

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy

I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.

This is the first post on my new account 👍

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.

Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.

I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.
