Except for when it comes up on web searches when I'm looking for some tech answer, I am off Reddit 100%.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I’m enjoying it more than I thought
Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do
I'm not a twitter user I've always liked reddit lemmy is reddit but without the ads
Used to binge Reddit all day everyday. Now it’s Lemmy/Kbin instead and haven’t even thought going back to Reddit.
As for me I'm living here now. Just taking a few peeks at reddit to follow the whole api/blackout situation.
I switched off reddit during the blackout and haven't really missed it (uninstalled from phone but not tablet yet), does appear in some searches. I heard the CeO interview on NPR over the weekend, so looking to delete my comments from most subs (some ask not to so will respect that) before deleting accounts.
World news and a finance subs I liked to contribute to but enjoying the break. Coding and Crafts I browse for ideas but sure something will appear eventually or not.
I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn't seem to care about the protest.
For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that's something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren't active enough yet to stay up to date.

Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.
I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.
Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.
Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.
Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.
Probably not going back either.
I’ve made the switch permanently. For apps you could try out Memmy or Mlem on the test flight app. Personally I’m using Memmy and I’m loving the swipe to upvote comments feature!
I haven't looked at Reddit since joining Lemmy on the 12th. I do miss some of the more niche subreddits, but hoping they'll eventually make an appearance here. :)
I have already uninstalled my reddit app from my phone. Now I just need to stop myself from automatically hitting my bookmarks on pc all the time. After years and years of reddit, it's hard to break the habit, lol.
I haven’t been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and won’t be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.
For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I don’t, or I pick one of these.
This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.
Yeah, I hated reddit tho
Yes, but only because installing Leechblock to try and reduce time wasting on Reddit and Youtube happened to coincide with this whole Reddit thing, and I haven't blocked Lemmy yet :)
Yes.
I've got kbin installed as a PWA in the same spot that I had Sync for Reddit. That takes care of the muscle memory thing. The only reason I look at Reddit these days is to see how the shitshow is going.
Did the same thing.. replaced all reddit shortcuts with lemmy / kbin / slashdot and poof i dont even think about it! Kbin just missing collapsable comments for a nice experience
I'm on kbin but I've barely been on reddit at all since I switched. I'm enjoying watching the fediverse grow and begin to mature into the begining of a real threat to major social media monsters like reddit, twitter, Facebook, and others.
IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.
I'm not, but i enjoy the time i've spent using lemmy so far this past week (only setup an account today) much more.
My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.
100% Lemmy here.
