Just checking the vibe. I see that this community doesn't have much activity, but maybe people are interested in migrating here amidst the reddit controversy.

This is my ~/

[–] FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yep! I'm going to hand my subreddits over to others in their respective communities, and possibly delete my account after that.

I have high hopes for Lemmy.

[–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I migrated fully from reddit. Deleted my comments and account. This will be my replacement for r/archlinux

[–] humdrumgentleman@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'm a Redditor immigrant. I think Lemmy is a much better fit for the Arch community, and have had this transition on my mind since the Twitter buyout. I'm hoping this push will bring enough of us over that it sticks.

I can't even remember if I subscribed to r/archlinux over there, I've eradicated my account now so it doesn't really matter. The important bits are (1) I'm an Arch user, amd64 and arm7hf mainly. (2) I'm subbed to this community. May it live long and prosper!

Yeah, I'm here for the foreseeable future.. my rif app is gone, and I don't think I'll install it, just like when twitter became fedilab (I'm on linuxrocks.online over there), I'm going deeper into the fediverse.

And I'll admit... Since I joined both apps have been growing on me quite fast

I started using Lemmy last week and for a couple days it was slow (in terms of activity). But especially after Monday, activity is REALLY starting to pick up. I have high hopes for Lemmy and hope not to go back to Reddit.

I also deleted RedReader (Reddit APP) and just subscribed to a few groups here in the Fediverse

[–] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Funny given how the app developer is trying to port it to support lemmy as well.

[–] UrbenLegend@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I have just subscribed to as many Lemmy equivalents to my subreddits as I could find. I plan to make Lemmy a permanent part of my browsing. Already contemplating on whether I should delete my Reddit account but I am still waiting out the situation to see what happens. What /u/spez has said doesn't give me much hope though. I do hope Lemmy takes off. The limited browsing I've done on Lemmy has already convinced me that its a better experience than Reddit from a UI / UX perspective.

I'm down for seeing where this trip takes us. If nothing else it's an opportunity to meet new folks.

[–] JollyRoberts@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Im sticking with the fediverse.

[–] M_Reimer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'll give Lemmy a try, now and currently this seems to be the "to go" community for Arch Linux. So I'll be around here for a while.

[–] linkbattosai@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I just joined recently and I'm really enjoying lemmy so far. It's great not having an algorithm trying to guess what I want to view all the time and it's just nice having the power to search for topics that I actually want to discuss.

Let's see if this works out. 😺

[–] nomadjoanne@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Absolutely!

[–] icecreamface@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I just made an account today, planning on deleting reddit soon

[–] FiskFisk33@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I've been feeling a bit done with reddit for a while now. This is the first time I see such a viable alternative! I really think if things like this pick up traction the internet will get better for once.

[–] businessfish@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

yep! the only thing i used reddit for (other than funny pictures, which we could all realistically do without) was tech support and discussing linux-related topics. And it seems, at least for now, the userbase swings pretty heavily towards tech savvy people so I'm sure this place will be great :)

[–] PdeT 1 points 2 years ago

I certainly came here via the controversy. Glad to have found Lemmy, really.

[–] fabiscafe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's just that .ml is down currently. So a bit hard to tell how this keeps working. Buuut nice to see you.

[–] reddit_sucks@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I am really tired of Reddit. Unfortunately, Reddit's user don't care about the API decisions. Screw Reddit.

[–] headlesscyborg@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Definitely, ditched my Reddit account. I was already unhappy with Reddit for some time, so while others are mad about the API changes, for me it's the best that could happen because it made me discover Lemmy.

[–] Hominine@lemonine.hominine.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

It's going to take a little time and maturing of the software but I think the fediverse had a bright future.
