Are there any Reddit refugees spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit?

I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

i have not been back since the blackout started.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

Fuck /u/spez

I've basically made the switch 100%, and I'm finding myself a lot more active on here so far. Everything I've posted in any given community has resulted in a lot more friendly discussion here than it tended to on Reddit... honestly, so far this feels a lot better lol.

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.

I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.

I haven't been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won't be adding to their content or participating.

I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven't used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.

I’ve not touched Reddit since the blackout started, and I won’t be going back.

Fuck u/spez

One day I used to browse Reddit. Basically next day I switched to Lemmy / Kbin.
I only arrive to reddit when the search engine gives me what I'm looking for over there. No regrets. It is valuable info that deserved to be consumed. When I make effort to create valuable info I now create it in federated media.

I moved here with the intention to stay. I just use reddit to promote Lemmy now.

On lemmy or kbin I try to be more active to increase the user engagement 😎

I'm enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I'm enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it's coming (RIF user) but now it's a much less bitter pill to swallow.

I am proud of myself! Haven't touch reddit since the 11th! I am free! Ahahahahaha! Ahem. For real though It feels good to break the habit. Course I replaced one addiction. With another by landing over here. Oh well. That is how it goes I suppose.

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I'm constantly making a conscious effort to avoid going back to reddit. It's not been easy, as it was my most used app maybe after youtube, but I've succeed so far. Last december I deleted my twitter account I created back in 2009. It hurt a bit, but I survived and found a nice place on a Mastodon instance. My reddit account is 11 years old, and I'll be deleting it too, soon. It'll hurt too, I know, but I'll survive too. Lemmy is my new home.

I haven't touched Reddit since June 11th, never going back.

I had been using RiF for over 10 years.

Since when I registered here I've been visiting lemmy more than reddit, although I go there from time to time to follow the shitshow as it's entertaining.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

I deleted my Reddit account at the beginning of the blackout and haven't opened it since (except when Google takes me there for some search results).

I deleted everything Reddit related and haven't been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

I'm trying but it's pretty low quality stuff here

Just joined Lemmy myself. Used a script to wipe all my content from 5 accounts. Plan to delete in July.

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

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

my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads

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 have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

Yeah, I've switched. Sometimes a result for tech help pops up on search and I open it through archive.org

Only Lemmy for me now.

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

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

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I delted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a reddit link I access it throigh the way back machine.

Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

Just joined today and getting to know how it works. 🤞

Me! I haven't used Reddit in 2 weeks and I don't intend to leave the Fediverse anytine soon.

I'm only using Reddit for /r/soccer at the moment as the Fedi versions aren't very active unfortunately. But if they become more active or Reddit get rid of old Reddit then I'll be done completely.

My only issue with Lemmy at the moment is every other post is a out Reddit to the point I might aswell be on Reddit... Understandable why but would be nice to see other content

I quit Reddit altogether. Here it feels less addictive.

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

I haven't been on Reddit since the blackout. Not sure if I'm going back

That's... why I'm here.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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'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.

You can also browse Lemmy aimlessly on your phone. The app is called "Jerboa for Lemmy". And yes, I just switched too. So far I like Lemmy, I see myself migrating here permanently.

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

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

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

I'm a refugee and honestly I like it here better than a lot of the Reddit communities so far because people actually seem interested in discussion rather than arguing. Of course that could be just because there are not as many people. Not really sure.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

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,

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

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 deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

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

Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.

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.

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

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!

Haven't been back to reddit, no

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

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

Well I am now. Now that Slide quit working. I was looking at both. I still can see Reddit in my browser at home but this was a nice kick in the pants to make me really focus here at lemmy.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.

I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.

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

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it at much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

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

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.

Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

Short answer: Yes!

When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).

So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.

When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.

I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.

On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit

I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

No, I haven't spent any time on Reddit since the closure, except for looking at r/Pics and their John Oliver err, protest. I haven't spent too much time on Lemmy though, that's because I've been busy helping out with an app for it :P

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

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.

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.

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 vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

Though this is my first post over here, uninstalled RIF on the 12th (after buying premium as a thanks for the last decade of using that great app) and haven't been back to reddit since.

There are certainly plenty of subs I miss and things aren't all rosy here yet, but I refuse to ever go to reddit again. They brought me from a 4hr/day, decade long happy reddit user to a complete boycott overnight. Amazing business acumen.

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.

That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.

I just made a fresh new account here. Still trying to find my way around here. Will keep my reddit account for a little bit but just like with Instagram, the ads just became too annoying for me.

I was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

I purposely have started spending more time on Lemmy. After the recent drama I decided that I didn’t want to give Reddit any more of my time and have stopped using the site completely. Not sure Lemmy will be the successor, but its not to bad although mobile ui is worse than the reddit app.

I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!

I'm on reddit some, but less and less.

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

i was on reddit for 10 years. i've just started taking up lemmy and the 'fediverse'. hoping this can at least partially supplant the things i use reddit for. it's going to take time to build up the userbase/collective information reddit has built up, so i am going to try and be more active on this platform than i'd otherwise be to start building on this platform. my hope is federated content sharing can be an endpoint that will be sturdier against the kind of market and social fluctuations that are ruining reddit. 'fediverse' is a dumb name tho, not crazy about that.

I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously

I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.

I jumped to lemmy the day of or the day before the blackout began, and moved to Kbin shortly after. Since then, I think I tapped into Reddit a total of 5-or-so times to check out solutions to web searches without bothering to log in. Three of of those times just led to a private subreddit, so I just backed out and looked elsewhere.

For my usual news binge, Kbin (& Lemmy), has more than sufficed. The fediverse has quickly made abandoning reddit pretty trivial for me.

I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.

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

I prefer the term immigrant now.

It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.

I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.

Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.

It won't be the same, but I like the idea of it a lot more than Reddit right now. Some questions for everyone...

**5-10 years down the road, what's to stop another Digg-Reddit-exodus from happening? As users, what can we do to keep this community prosperous, useful, and "good"? **

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

Had to block reddit for a bit and replace my shortcuts to reddit with lemmy, but now I find myself enjoying my time on lemmy a lot more than on reddit. I don't know if I will ever stop using reddit due to the amount of old information over that is still very useful and because it's where most of my viewers come from, but only time will tell I guess.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!

I’m trying to! Unfortunately I’m subbed to quite a few niche communities that haven’t quite gained traction over here yet and I don’t want to be the sole poster.

Pretty much done with reddit for the time being if not for ever. Been on Lemmy as a filler for my fix.

I already have 10 lemmy accounts and like 2k compounded points in 12 days!! I have ruined my sleep schedule because I stay on Lemmy till like 8 am! I have procrastinated my well paying job to get more hours into this and even developed plug-ins for lemmy when I could've been developing shit for my job! Yes, I've been using Lemmy more than Reddit. 😭😔

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.

I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.

This is the first post on my new account 👍

Not yet.. none of my favorite communities made it over yet.

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 for sure am! As someone who craves a sense of novelty, all the new instances and communities are awesome. My posts actually have an impact again and don't get automatically downvoted by some bot.

Let's look at what Snoosite has been historically good at.

• propagating web content
• providing a space for derivative communities of content

The web content is already all over the place and takes no more than a dedicated core moderation team to begin driving discussion. The latter - content communities - is what really made Snoosite exceptional, and what drove that engagement was principally the aggregation aspect in the beginning combined with a distaste for the alternatives.

Lemmy is modeled very closely after Snoosite, obviously, and shares the same potential for link aggregation. The community building is really an organic function, and if we're able to ride the wave, we may not continue to blast into the stratosphere but arriving at a decent plateau to provide a viable federated alternative is a noble and lofty goal.

The secret sauce, if the Lemmy devs implement features creatively, is ActivityPub. Cross pollinating conversations and communities between microblogging, distributed image sharing and tagging, and link aggregation communities of content using built-in features of hashtags and boosting is ... well, it's game-changing, and it gives me tingles to think about how well it COULD be done.

I'm not really wasting any time on Snoosite anymore other than for archaeological purposes. Now, it's only been a few days, so I can only speak from my own history - when I made a decision to drop Birdsite like a hot rock, I did so completely and deleted my account. I'm a little less inclined to be as drastic with Snoosite because of historical significance relating directly to technical interests of mine. But as time passes and the Fediverse grows, and Lemmy (or another technology) matures into the space, I think the relevance of Snoosite will fade like so many farts in the wind before it.

Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.

I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

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

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

About a week since i read or posted on Reddit.

Reading Christian's rebuttal was genuinely shocking to me and I decided I didn't want to continue supporting Reddit's management by being associated with it.

I demodded myself (sole moderator of a 13 year old sub, plus another two smaller ones), deleted all my many thousands of posts and comments and stopped using it.

I'm planning on deleting my 11 year user with a lot of karma on the 1st to join the protest then (I need to revisit to check that's still happening)

I've 100% abandoned reddit. The site outlived itself and it's beyond time for something new. I left Digg several weeks before it collapsed and it sure fells similar to reddit today. It just isn't worth visiting and hasn't been for years now.

i am here to browse less, and engage more. I hope to spend about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I did on Reddit, as everyone's time is finite. I am not going back after browsing through the communities, which I think will grow in time.

Engagement is key

I only use Lemmy now as a daily app, I just use Reddit as a glorified backlog (to search for some tech problem, or some product buying recommendation). For better or worse, there is a lot of useful information in there, but I won't actively engage with the website anymore.

Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.

10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it's early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

Yes.

As for me I'm living here now. Just taking a few peeks at reddit to follow the whole api/blackout situation.

Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.

I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.

I try to spend most of my time over here, but i head over to Reddit when I want a sub that isn't available on Lemmy.

I am for sure. I just head over for one maybe two subs that I cannot replace (yet), and only once or twice a day (instead of constantly).

Besides that may random scrolling and news related needs are fully satisfied by lemme.

Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/
