I think the deciding factor will be where content creators (people that post to some degree) go. Lurkers will follow them.
I've been banned from Reddit so many times for so many petty infractions... nah. Lemmy is working out just fine. Reddit can rot.
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.
both. this platform seems interesting but im not ready to quit reddit just yet, especially since theres really little content here
I almost exclusively used RIF to interact with Reddit so I won't be going back.
I'll stay here, learn how to navigate and interact with platform and try to be a bigger creator than I was over there.
Gonna work on reducing my reddit use while I find enough places here to fill all those little brain-itch niches.
Hopefully phase out reddit eventually. But not immediately.
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 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 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'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.
I haven't deleted anything, but honestly I haven't felt any desire to go back either.
already deleted my account, there is no going back.
Iโm a mod in a small handheld emulator community. Iโm not in a particular hurry to return the sub to public, but weโll see what they other guys do. As for me, Iโll definitely keep using Lemmy, although I might use Reddit as well depending on how things develop.
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.
here nao
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'll be staying on Lemmy as much as possible
I will probably use reddit as information archive but Lemmy as my primary forum and probably migrating my small subreddit
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've also had my account for over 10 years and just today deleted every comment/ post equating to about 70k karma.
It feels really good knowing Reddit won't profit off my past content.
I never signed up to reddit, but I did join Lemmy because it feels like it fits.
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.
I'm staying unless they drop all that nonsense.
Iโm staying on Lemmy for certain. Hoping I can find my fellow Mass Effect fans somewhere here.
Mass Effect fan here! I'm just about to head to the IFF on Mass Effect 2! Great ride so far :D
use both
Probably going to find myself on Reddit every now and then, but I'd like to keep up with Lemmy too (hopefully primarily)
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.
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.
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
