No Stupid Questions

This is the first post on my new account 👍

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.

My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.

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

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

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"? **

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

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

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 was only lurking on reddit. Here I'm trying to help make the place feel alive by also commenting and engaging. So far I'm really enjoying the experience and I'm not looking back. Also yes, I feel like I do spend a bit more time on lemmy, but it might just be the novelty.

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

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 just made a fresh new account here. Still trying to find my way around here. Will keep my reddit account for a little bit but just like with Instagram, the ads just became too annoying for me.

7 days no Reddit.

Went to kbin after deleting my reddit account, so outside of occasionally lurking I don't really have a need for reddit.

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.

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.

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

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

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.

That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

I just got on Lemmy today so that I've been using it a ton to find communities and reddit not at all. I do miss the history and size of reddit. Although on reddit I mostly lurked. Since this is smaller and newer and not corporate I'm going to try and be a more active user.

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

Haven't been back to reddit, no

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

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

I vietually dropped it almost cold turkey. Albeit there are threads i would like to read, i outright try to avoid pulling up the app

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

I for sure am! As someone who craves a sense of novelty, all the new instances and communities are awesome. My posts actually have an impact again and don't get automatically downvoted by some bot.

Loading this page took 10 seconds. This is too slow right now to function as a replacement for Reddit. Also, I HAVE to have the “hide” feature. I always hide posts after I have mentally processed them. That way my feed is always fresh. Without that feature, I am constantly seeing the same stuff over and over, which I hate.
