I try to use lemmy primarely, trying to satiate my need for news and entertainment when I'm on a break. If it's not enough and my front page is stale, i unwillingly creep into reddit.

I guess it's all about content.

I deleted Reddit to help myself stay off for the blackout. I think as long as I have fun and establish a community here, I’ll stay. I don’t plan on doing both, but 🤷‍♂️

personally I'll probably use reddit as well as lemmy for a few weeks, but less and less. I use a 3rd party client (slide for reddit) and dont intend to go back to the official app, when Ive last used it I found it unusable and this whole incident has really soured my opinion of it. I may occasionally visit it on desktop after that is gone, I actually dont mind new reddit on desktop unlike most, but since I dont usually use social sites on my desktop anyway and again, have been liking reddit less after this, I dont foresee myself using it that way much and probably will leave entirely after awhile. Lemmy doesnt really have all the small communities reddit does, but that does seem to be changing pretty rapidly. Im sure a whole lot of recent lemmy users will go back after awhile, but given the apps havent even shut down yet, my hope is that enough people come and stay for there to be enough to be happy with, even if its nowhere near the user count of reddit

Switch back to reddit but the minute Lemmy or kbin or whatever gets up to reddit speed, will switch for good.

Probably both for now, but I've been using Lemmy more and more.

here nao

I’m a mod in a small handheld emulator community. I’m not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but we’ll see what they other guys do. As for me, I’ll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.

I'll probably give it at least a week, see how things are, and decide from there.

Even then if I do go back probably cut activity to the things that just aren't available elsewhere at the moment.

I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.

already deleted my account, there is no going back.

Fuck u/spez , would much rather have mods that put in effort because they want the community to succeed and not because there's an opportunity to profit

Deleted all my comments and reddit accounts. Out of curiosity I browsed the front page. Literally nothing worth scrolling for. Inflammatory, rage bait, misleading headlines, repost bots, same content spammed to different subreddits. These blackout was just what I needed to break my dependence on it. Don't see no point in going back.

Most likely I will "specialize" reddit for sports stuff only.

I blocked all reddit domain names, delete reddit and will never come back... Right now I feel the carving like any other drug abuse. Thankfully I wasn't that much of a reddict and were scrolling through healthy subreddits. Keep save, don't fall for the poisonous digital social drug !

use both

lemmy has been fantastic but I know 50% of lemmings are gonna go back to Reddit anyway

I'm not going anywhere. I remember when Reddit was the hard-to-figure out niche site. I like the idea behind the fediverse so I'll learn how to use this.

Use both.

Lemmy is still way too buggy/bad design, more specifically: -New posts loaded dynamically even when I'm not sorted by new. Just give me a static page, servers are overloaded as it is, why do so many requests for a shit UX? If I'm sorting by hot I don't want to see new posts.
-Not desktop friendly (too much whitespace)
-If I click on a post then it often shows some other post but with the comments of the post I clicked on
-very slow posting

I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.

I have over 10k karma there, tons of posts going back like 10ish years, and a teeny tiny niche hobby subreddit of my own. I deleted the app when we all went dark, and I've been considering deleting my account and content. Definitely not planning on going back.

I'm abandoning reddit in phases. I'm keeping RIF on my phone until June 30, but will not visit Reddit like I once did. I'm participating in the Fediverse instead, posting and commenting a lot more than I ever did in the old site.

Between here and June 30, I may peek at the front page as the situation develops, especially if any news posted here indicates dramatic developments.

One or two days before June 30, I'll edit all of my comments and posts to say I'm leaving reddit for good, while also providing links to the Fediverse and advice for other redditors to abandon the show and join us here.

I'm not married to Lemmy just yet, but I really can't see myself going back to Reddit. I think the only actual utility I get out of Reddit these days is keeping up on Gaming news - I used to get a ton of value out of a subreddit for my profession, but the head admin there seems to be a bit of a heel & most of the quality contributors already moved elsewhere before the blackout.

I think its been easy to ignore the fact that Reddit is just like every other silicon valley social media company. Enshittification was always on the roadmap - I just had hoped that Reddit would've been a bit more graceful about it. In retrospect, it's terrifying that we have this much human knowledge & history tied to one platform.

I’m staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.

I'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible

I'm sticking with Lemmy but using Reddit for smaller niche hobby subs, like digimon, Gunpla.

I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.

I'm fragmenting time between reddit, kbin, lemmy, and squabbles.

I only have a couple more weeks that I'll get to use reddit. The official app is trash, and I'm a 100% mobile user - so when my app dies I'm done there...

I'm waiting for one of these platforms to make a good app and I'll settle there, but until then I'll fragment my time.

Probably going to find myself on Reddit every now and then, but I'd like to keep up with Lemmy too (hopefully primarily)

I'm sure at some point I'll get on old.reddit again, for as long as it's still around. After all, I spent a dozen years or more on reddit; it's hard to just walk away from that cold turkey. But, I kinda like what's going on with Lemmy. I've really liked what I've seen with lemmy.world, there's a cool vibe here, and I'm already feeling at home. I think I'm gonna stick around. :-)

I need to check back on reddit to see if my GDPR request has completed. It hasn't yet and they don't retain it for long. I might keep going on the few subs I go on, I suppose. I suffered though mobile web reddit all these years anyway. But if the mods strike again, I of course won't cross the picket line.
