Havenβt quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.
Iβm not highly involved in any communities there, else Iβd attempt a mass migration.

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit
Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.
But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove π€
Not entirely just yet. Reddit as a source of information is incredibly valuable and Lemmy has yet to become that for me.
Yeah, just got a temp ban for apparently wrongfully reporting a post. Fuck that place
In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.
Lemmy doesn't have that debt.
I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.
Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.
I'm trying. Since boost stopped working. I have been on reddit twice. It's a painful shit experience now and I hate it.
But also. Lemmy isnt quite enough yet. But it's helping me stay off the web more.
FB sucks. Reddit sucks and lemmy isn't itching my need for information.
Oh well. :).

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used βnewβ Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.
Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.
I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.
