No Stupid Questions

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.

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

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

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.

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.

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

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

I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.

It won't be the same, but I like the idea of it a lot more than Reddit right now. Some questions for everyone...

**5-10 years down the road, what's to stop another Digg-Reddit-exodus from happening? As users, what can we do to keep this community prosperous, useful, and "good"? **

Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.

My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.

You can also browse Lemmy aimlessly on your phone. The app is called "Jerboa for Lemmy". And yes, I just switched too. So far I like Lemmy, I see myself migrating here permanently.

7 days no Reddit.

Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.

I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.

Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

I have almost completely stopped using Reddit (and I was a huge Redditor for about 12 years). Since it was first released as a beta, I have only used Apollo. With that option soon gone, I decided it was just best to cut Reddit ties and switch over. Lemmy is not Reddit (yet), but I think once there are some decent third-party apps, it definitely has serious potential.

I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.

For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.

This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

I'm about 40% Reddit and 60% lemmy/kbin right now. Once my Reddit app of choice (Relay) dies, I'll probably be here 100%

I deleted the acc. Not because what was happening, I think I started to dislike it before. This latest developments just gave me the last push to do it. Lemmy is fun, kind of innocent still.

Yeah I stopped using Reddit when the boycott started and don't plan on going back(went back to add nonsense to my old comments). Hoping to see a larger migration as well.

Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.

I've been here since the 10th, deleted my Reddit account yesterday.

That's... why I'm here.

Haven't been back to reddit, no

On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit

Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.

I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously

Short answer: Yes!

When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).

So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.

When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.

I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.

I bailed off of Reddit three months ago, after /r/Pathfinder2e started reaching peak echo chamber.

Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

It's been a real struggle breaking the decade long habit of just opening reddit every time im bored, but I'm trying to ween myself off in preparation for when they kill 3rd party apps at the end of the month since i won't be able to use RIF any longer.

I would say im spending about 80% of my time on kbin now. After the 3rd party app shutdown i'll probably only use reddit when it comes up in top google search results.

I've replaced the spot where Reddit Sync has been for like 10 years with a shortcut to Kbin. That said, I find myself browsing less as there's less content in the meantime. I try avoiding going to Reddit on my computer unless there's literally no other matching Google searches.

I hope we eventually get a lot of that random historical context and information reposted at some point onto any Lemmy instance.

I'd use Lemmy more if half the content wasn't about Reddit.
