I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.

Who's Lenny? I'm waiting for Sync.
Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

Yup, was a loyal Sync For Reddit user. Wasn't sure how I was going to cope to be honest but Lemmy has been great so far.
They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug
The guy from the Simpsons?
So long, dental plan!
Yup.
I wish but I couldnβt load the comments at the first placeβ¦
95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.
I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.
Already have, reddit's just for getting decent results in Google
Yes
I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.
Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.
Yeah trying to at least. Signed up on lemmy.world and using wefwef atm. Wont be using reddit for much longer I don't think
Yup
