Lenny?

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

While I technically did replace Reddit with Lemmy—I edited all my posts and comments in protests of the API changes and Reddit's disgusting behaviour—I don't use Lemmy in the same way I used Reddit. Most of my activities on Reddit were in niche subreddits that don't have an active community here, so on Lemmy I just hangout in the popular communities with much lower levels of engagement. I also spend a lot less time here than I used to on Reddit, which is both a good thing and a bad thing...

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

I still go to reddit as a resource when looking up stuff online, but I no longer browse reddit. The only subreddit I consistently go to is the small one I moderate, as it's large enough I can't simply convince each individual personally to move to the fediverse, but small enough that trying to convert would result in negligible numbers here.

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Yes. I used Boost until the blackout (June 12th or something like that). That date I uninstalled it and didn't log in anymore. Then I waited until June 30th just to see if they've changed their plan. They didn't, so I replaced all my comments and then I deleted my account. From that date I created an account first on KBin but I didn't like that they didn't show which server the threads were actually on, so I migrated to Lemmy world with wefwef. So far, really happy with the experience.

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

After leaving reddit I realize how negative it was. Only thing I miss is searching up the answer you're looking for that aren't paid ads, but I feel like lemmy can be a viable replacement in time.

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

99% yes, effective July 1. The 1% is the Ukraine war daily thread on World News. I monitor it while logged out.

yep

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

Yes, I did. I was a lurker and not really a heavy user. It was fun while it lasted. Let's make this the real frontpage.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

Yup girldick, I replaced Reddit with Lemmy and I'm happy!

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

Maybe if we talked about anything other than other social media sites I would.

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
