Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience
This whole past week, I've only checked out reddit like 3 times through infinity for reddit since it still works. Site is getting really boring and dull. Once infinity stops, I'm leaving for good. Their official app is trash. I have it patched through revanced manager so I don't see ads and her premium features, but still can't use it. Just terrible.
I browse through brave browser out of spite now hit after downloading Memmy I’ve found myself on Lemmy way more than Reddit. Also feel I contribute a lot more to conversations than I did on Reddit.
Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.
I was fairly new to Reddit but really liked the way it was organized by topic. It was easy for me to delete my few posts and then delete my account. So I'm now rooting for Lemmy and seeing nice progress. Also looked at Threads and was amazed how well it worked right out of the gate. It shows what a multi million dollar budget can accomplish.
Yes. This exactly.
I prefer Squiggy
Yep. This place is great.
I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.
My third eldest, Larissa, she was talking about this just last week. She is very smart, I’ll give her that, because she was the first in the family to go to university. And she passed with distinctions. So we’re all quite proud of her.
I'm slowly transitioning over to Lemmy with the goal of eventually ditching Reddit.
Yes
gock.........
Yah mon.
Already have 😏
Mostly, yeah.
Im using this ios app Memmy. It reminds me so much of Apollo. Now just need to give some so all the communities switch to lemmy. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
I would like to, but let's be real, i had a question about a game today and i went to Reddit because that game deosn't have a Lemmy community.
Reddit has more people, more content, and more history. Only an actual collapse will make Lemmy a superior alternative.
Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.
Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.
That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.
Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content
Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.
I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.
It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.
Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.
I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.
I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.
Trying to completely leave reddit as of a few days ago when boost finally stopped working. I haven't been back so far and this is my primary site now and also following discuit in hopes it grows bigger than it currently is.
I know I will use reddit for work when I have technical questions but that's it.
I made an account a few days ago. I’m actually surprised at how similar the content is to the front page of reddit (albeit much less visibility). I think Lemmy does have what it takes to take over.
I doomscroll only here, but I still refer (read only) to some niche communities for historical information on reddit. It’s still too small here for the small niches to have an active community. Trying to post more here too
Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say “good riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.
I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.
All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.
I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!
