Ask Lemmy

I've been a Redditor for 12+ years, but I will definitely keep hanging out here and I'll keep being active. The community here right now reminds me a lot of the good things of early Reddit, and I like that.

I became a Redditor during the Digg exodus... Now I'll become a Lemming during the Reddit exodus.

Definitely here to stay. Even deleted app from my phone and put a bookmark to lemmy where the app used to be. Now I access lemmy as much as I used to Reddit purely because of muscle memory / force of habit and don’t miss Reddit one bit.

I'm mostly a lurker, but certainly plan to stay. I probably will use Reddit occasionally, but that usage will be significantly reduced and limited to desktop use only as I have no interest in installing the official Reddit app. Too many web searches lead back to Reddit posts for me to drop Reddit completely.

Reddit has been the third party apps for me for years, so shutting those down means I’m gone for good.

Lemmy is one of the sites that I'm checking out to try and replace Reddit. Unfortunately, so far, I can't find a replacement for my porn needs, but I think that'll help resolve a bigger problem I have.

I was a just a lurker on reddit. It feels more welcoming here so I'm staying for sure.

Don't forget that until the end of this month that reddit will change a lot of stuff. I won't be surprised that new lemmy users will migrate here on July 1.

I'm not using reddit again unless to lurk some info here and there if it is needed to find information I couldn't find on lemmy. I won't participate in the Reddit community anymore even if reddit is backing down. The federated philosophy is just much more alligned with my values. If anything, this whole blackout situation accelerated my innevitable switch.

Deleted four accounts of 3-11 years. Yup. Bye. I ain't waiting around to see reddit turn into "myspace after tom"

Nah man what Reddit is doing is ridiculous. I'm staying with Lemmy. I just hope the user base can grow.

I haven't deleted my reddit account and I'm not sure if I'm going to, but I do not plan on going back or logging back in. Many times I've googled some obscure thing and the only solution to my problem was a 10 year old reddit post. With everyone deleting their accounts all those posts will change to [deleted] and I think that's sad. I've never posted anything that I think would help anyone, but I'm torn between letting my account stay up in the spirit of that and deleting it because fuck reddit.

The lemmyverse is getting better everyday! No reason to go back

Not going back. Here to stay for sure. No matter what.

Now that I've managed to hook up Mastadon to here and pull tweets from twitter, I think i'm pretty firmly here rather than there. There's one community I'll be sad to not interact with on the regular, but I'll manage.

I'm definitely staying. I know there's gonna be a dip in users, I just hope enough stay that we can build communities.

I plan to stay unless Reddit makes their third-party terms a lot more reasonable. The way these API access fees were announced on such a short timeline and the fact they are so high does not make me want to support Reddit any longer by participating in it. I've got 249,000 post karma there.

I'm here because I'm hoping we can Digg v4 reddit. If we can't then I'm hoping one of the other alternatives will. As it stands Reddit is hoping everything will just blow over, I'm not gonna stand by and just let that happen

I’m staying. This may not be the Big Thing, but in my eyes, it’s a worthy contender.

Reddit simply isn’t anymore, if it ever truly was.

The reaction from spez has moved me from “just don’t go back” to “learn enough about scripts to run that salt the earth thing I saw from GitHub.”

I deleted my Reddit account, so I'll stay here. Fediverse to me is how the internet should be, not owned by a corporation, I hope services like Lemmy and Mastodon get more popular.

I like Lemmy. I think I'll stay here, and I'll wipe my Reddit account soon. It feels strange, but Reddit also feels super hostile now.

Staying here. Rediscovered what I liked about Reddit in the earlier days - actually engaging. I don't think I've commented, posted, or even upvoted on reddit in like a year. It just seemed pointless and it was just a scroll and read machine. This is much more fun

It breaks my heart to dump 15 years of Reddit, but yes, I'm staying.

I knew this would happen sooner or later, because every good company eventually put their bottom lines ahead of their users.

Just created an account to check out Lemmy. I'm not sure I fully understand the concept of this, but time will manage, I guess

Currently in the process of saving off my saved content. After that, I haven’t decided if I want to delete my account. Will probably stay off mobile, and give Lemmy/kbin/squabbles/tildes/Spyke some time to mature before dropping reddit entirely.

I'm planning on staying, interacting here is a lot more fun than Reddit in my opinion.

Thanks to the blackout I got to know about lemmy. Otherwise may never have tried this. Now I know , it might be hard to go back. If my favourite subreddits end up here or have their own instances, it will be great. But even if they don't , I am done with reddit. The quality of comments in reddit has been in the downward direction for a long time now. I remember when I stopped using digg. It was upgraded to mongo db and nothing was available for a while. That was when I went to reddit and forgot about digg completely. Reddit blackout is when I joined lemmy.world and forgot about reddit 😂

I am not expecting the blackout to be over to be fair. Reddit is not backing down. While I will miss it, I am prepared to use only Lemmy for quite some time perhaps even indefinitely. And it's not difficult in fact.

I was one of those weird Redditors that liked to browse "all" as almost every subreddit offered some interesting posts for me. Because of it I am not too worried about staying only at Lemmy as most conversations or post peak my interest.

I'm likely staying. I've gotten used to lemmy now.

3 days is all it took.

I didn't come here because of the blackout though, I came here in protest; going back to Reddit while they haven't changed their policy wouldn't be helpful.

I dunno, man. I sorta like it here. I'm on here and Squabbles, but my one sub is still sitting there for approval. Reddit was like a default itch scratch. Maybe fuckem but idk. We'll see if this kicks off cuz I'll stick around.

I just joined out of curiosity and I'm rather baffled by how barely any of the reddit forums decided to migrate here or anywhere else, even if just symbolically.

I share the same fear, but I plan to stay I really enjoy lemmy, more than I have reddit in the last year or so. The atmosphere is great, and I feel more of a connection with the people and the community.
