Have you left reddit forever? Have you deleted your account and posts? Just curious
tbh, it still sucks here lol, but i'm open to the plan on staying here as well as reddit if Lemmy can at least improve to be comparable to Reddit.
I'll be staying, delted most posts & changed all comments to a link to join lemmy. Most likely delete the whole thing soon.
Pretty much between here and Tildes. I’m new here, I’ve been off and on Tildes since 2018. Both are chill.
This is my very first comment.
I'm eyeing right now, but it already reminds of Old Reddit, so I may stay. I was there to see Digg die, and now Reddit fall.
I just hope for a good active community.
I want to stay gone. I’m banned and can’t go back on the reddit app so Apollo was the only way I could post. That being said, I want something to replace it and I’m not sure what that’s gonna be right now. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing for me back on there and not allowed to say anything but sometimes I do like to ask question. Hopefully something positive happens but I’m not holding out much hope
I toyed with the idea of triggering a ban on my account, on purpose. I just need to log into the account that was banned years ago, edit something, and BANG! automatic detection bans my current account. Then you'd get a bunch of people claiming that I was banned because my account criticises Reddit, that would further fuel the fire.
The only reason that I don't do this is moral. I don't mind small immoral acts but this steps over the line for me, as I'd be effectively lying to other users.
I'm on kbin but yeah, I plan to stay. Most of what I saw on Reddit wasn't even relevant to my interests because their algorithms kept pushing random shit at me. I'm happy to really tailor my own experience here. Goodbye, my 80k karma
What is kbin? I don't get it.
It’s just another type of instance for the Fediverse. Someone who understands it better can give a more meaningful answer but it’s like Lemmy is gmail and Kbin is hotmail (or vice versa).
I'm sticking around
I probably won't delete my Reddit account, but I started my own Lemmy instance in the hopes that I could encourage more people to try out the Fediverse. I think it could work out well, but it's pretty tricky to get everything set up to start an instance.
I'm done. I sometimes open Apollo out of habit but this too shall pass...
Yup. If not for mentions of reddit on lemmy I'd have forgotten about it. Seriosuly.
Difficult to make that call. I will say that having the hand forced to find alternatives was eye opening. I feel like engaging in this space is more pleasant, but there is a definite learning curve. I find it refreshing that there is a consistency of content after leaving and coming back after a few hours. On the flip side, the one thing I enjoy about the Reddit experience is the evolution of the comments over time. There just isn't quite the same throughput here and threads just aren't real dynamic. I feel like going forward there is likely to be a mix of both, with the hope that this takes hold.
Of course I'm staying. I'll also stay on reddit until June 30th, after which I guess I'm only coming back on computer once in a while to check the more niche subs. I'm also thinking of using that time left on reddit to organize with people of those subs who would like to create a Lemmy community together, and to help the less tech-savy join.
I'm still on the fence. I'd very much like to jump ship API changes or not, Reddit is only going to become more and more corporate over time and I think that goes directly against what a platform like that should be
I'm trying it out and if it takes off like I'm hoping I'll stick around. Like the idea of a more decentralised internet, matrix too but much harder to get people to move from discord without some big catalyst like this
I will definitely be staying. Even if it fails, I will then just stop using any social media but Mastadon. I am never going back.
i think i jave a 13yo account? maybe 2 comments (I had a few but purged most a few years ago). I have onlu browsed on Baconit and once i found lemmy i started to use it less. . .once its gone I'm gone.
TBH I am more active here because i want it to become my main content source while i drink coffee, and then go back to the comfort of lurking.
im a simple person...doesn't take much to entertain me.
I'll be staying. I do tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter, but generally that was because on reddit most anything I was going to say had already been said. I enjoy the "feel" of Lemmy, and I am very appreciative of all of the content contributers.
I deleted all accounts except for one that I‘m still emotionally attached to. I downloaded a copy of my data and then… well I‘ll use Lemmy as my main platform for now and see how it goes. Then when my Apollo is dead, hopefully I‘ll have no reason to look at Reddit much at all.
