No Stupid Questions

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.

Yep. After 9 years of almost daily use and 50k comment karma, I haven't been on Reddit in a week. I miss a few of the more niche places, but I imagine they'll be along. I started an r/synthesizers ripoff anyway.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

Ended up making the switch today. Found certain communities I liked weren't in existence yet so I'm working on getting them setup.

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

Yea, I spend 90% of my time on Lemmy, and it's been really fun seeing it grow so quickly.

Most of my recent posts on Reddit have been mod actions, or pumping Lemmy.

Gone cold turkey and completely dropped Reddit. Lemmy, Hacker News, Techmeme and some traditional news sources has so far been good enough.

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

For sure. I hereby consider Reddit to have died, along with the 3rd party app that I used to view it with. (RIP Boost, you will be missed 🚀)

From now on, only Lemmy exists to me and I've fully replaced it, partially out of spite.

Deleted my account there and moved here. But I hope all pathological downvoters will stay there...

I only use reddit when looking at the current blackout and api situation. I am also sharing the word of lemmy and the fediverse to users who don't know what it is. But i no longer browse trough reddit, only on lemmy. Nore specificslly the jerboa app on Android.

I’m getting there… I just need these beta apps to get a bit more useful.

Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.

I stopped using reddit since day 1 of going dark. Sometimes Google redirects me there so I have to find other results. Jerboa for Android is a great experience - spending most of the social media time here

I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!

I purposely have started spending more time on Lemmy. After the recent drama I decided that I didn’t want to give Reddit any more of my time and have stopped using the site completely. Not sure Lemmy will be the successor, but its not to bad although mobile ui is worse than the reddit app.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

I’m trying to! Unfortunately I’m subbed to quite a few niche communities that haven’t quite gained traction over here yet and I don’t want to be the sole poster.

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

The only time I've spent on reddit is to convince mods and users to make the switch to lemmy

So far I like Lemmy quite a bit! The vibe is good and positive, really nice to see.

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

I quit cold turkey a few days ago. Apollo is deleted as it‘s gonna be dead soon anyway, removed my bookmarks to Reddit and now refrain from going there entirely.

It‘s been good, the experience on kbin is so similar that I don‘t miss it much. Sure, some of my communities don‘t exist here yet, but the seemingly endless stream of random stuff to comment on is working for me here too.

Hopefully many more will follow and we can rebuild some of what is missing together and even if not, I am learning to contribute more by myself, so maybe I‘ll just do it.

I'm not ditching Reddit, but I'm spending more time reading and discovering Lemmy. Since I selfhost a lot of services, I started my own Lemmy instance. Must say, it feels kinda barebones, but that's because of the lack of advertisements etc. on pages.

I kinda find it peacefull and I hope Lemmy survives as eco-system.

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

The only reasons I still go to Reddit now are to:

1. shit on Reddit and promote Lemmy, using RIF on mobile and an adblocker on desktop so that they get $0 revenue from me;
2. check out the tiny NSFW shitposting sub I'm in as I made some friends there.

For anything else I go straight to lemmy.world which is my new home now.

I prefer the term immigrant now.

I haven't used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they've shown their hand to everyone. I'm fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I'd been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

I occasionally go back to check on the chaos, but I am enjoying Lemmy a lot more. The older people at my workplace and my friends/family are beginning to echo the sentiment that Reddit killed itself, and that opinion spreading among average people is a sign that Reddit's days are numbered.

I just just visit reddit to read r/ModCoord, r/RedditAlternatives and related. I am visiting Lemmy daily but honestly I am still expecting to see more content. I am trying to colaborste summiting some things, something I never do in Reddit.

I've abandoned Reddit ever since a couple days before the blackout and it's been really nice. It feels refreshing to be part of what seems to be an upcoming community.

I just made my account, figuring out how to use the app.

I blocked reddit from my network so I would accidently go there. The only two things making it hard for me to use this is news and worldnews aren't super well moderated and I can't figure out how to make it not auto update the feed while im on top day with garbage new posts.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.

I'm definitely spending more time on lemmy than reddit nowadays. Reddit still has too many great resources and info to abandon completely, but with more time to grow, hopefully lemmy will eventually replace reddit for me.
