A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.
I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

Yes, as should everyone.
I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, itβs Lemmy only
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 :)
I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure
I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.
I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good
Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
Already done.
RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is βalmostβ as good as Sync for Reddit was.
For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.
The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!
I gave Lemmy a shot after the API debacle on reddit. First week was bumpy with lots of timeouts and servers that weren't able to handle all the new users from reddit.
It quickly improved. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account.
I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now
Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.
Not by itself, no.
My current replacements for reddit are:
- A kbin account for serious-posting
- This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
- Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
- (Eventually) an RSS reader
- Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results
I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)
