No Stupid Questions

Definitely me, haven't opened reddit since the protest.

I am... but they nuked all my main/alts except a few. I keep them to keep control of my mod rights, but its coming to a point of I don't want to bother.

I've just deleted my reddit account! :-)

I've spent all my time between Lemmy and kbin.

It's been a lot of fun, and while I know it's a little fractured, it's been giving me a really great bit of variety

I haven’t been on Reddit in days. That’s it for me. You should go cold turkey and delete yo Reddit.

Been lurking for a few days and finally decided to take the plunge. I actually prefer the design/UI of this site more than Reddit. Nice and clean.

I think the exodus thus far has been great. Was on Reddit for 12 years so it's a bittersweet feeling but the fact that the CEO has no qualms about catering to the users is pretty telling. Hope to engage in/foster some interesting discussions on here.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

I will until I run out of content here.

I was, then I wasn't, but only because my Reddit is curated with over a decade of finding the subs I like.

However, I'm still slowly trying to find and curate my Lemmy experience, which I expect will pickup even more steam once 3rd Party API's get shut down the end of this month.

It's not even just a matter of principle, the Reddit official app is terrible, which is almost funny since I loved AlienBlue.

This is my first message.

Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.

I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.

I got b& in support of far right wing subs in the build up, but just in time to get a GDPR request in. But I can't make any new account easily without them banning that one also. They never told me this, that I was personally banned and could not make any new account, but any new account I make is soon after banned.

They don't want me there anymore, but they do want to keep my posts and opinions and personal information, for their exploitation and profit. I intend to maintain my b& accounts and document their infringements, such that they can be punsihed to the full extent of the law.

I have decided I will only use Lemmy from now on. I've just setup my own instance (where I am the only user for now). I am actually posting this from my instance. I follow most things I used to follow on reddit. I used https://sub.rehab/ to find where the communities have migrated to and subscribed to all of them. It's great!

Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.

Not even going to Reddit at all. The main subs I followed have locked anyway.

Deleted my Reddit and not going back to it.

Just signed up and still exploring. Hopefully I will spend more time on here than Reddit though.

I have converted to Lemmy fully now. I deleted my reddit favourites and Relay for Reddit, and just replaced them with Lemmy. Now when I subconciously click where reddit used to be, I get Lemmy instead. It's helped a lot.

I'm still struggling with some aspects of Lemmy. I'm on a small instance called "Toast.ooo", and I'd like to subscribe to the starfield community on "Lemmy.zip", but I just can't do it. If I try to search for it, it doesn't appear. If I go direct to Lemmy.zip, I can't log in to my account.

I haven't used Reddit for a week already

Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.

Only open reddit by accident and muscle memory. Need to find time to read/save the "saved". Right after that will Art. 17 GDPR my account.

Using lemmy most of the time since the blackout. Kinda hard not to feel guilty now when I scrolled aimlessly on reddit. Now I only go there to find specific things. But ngl really miss having moment of discovery when I stumbled upon something while I browse reddit, since the amount of content here is limited.

Loading this page took 10 seconds. This is too slow right now to function as a replacement for Reddit. Also, I HAVE to have the “hide” feature. I always hide posts after I have mentally processed them. That way my feed is always fresh. Without that feature, I am constantly seeing the same stuff over and over, which I hate.

I barely even used Reddit in the first place... but I did find myself spending more time on Mastodon than Twitter after the whole Elon thing happened. Noticeably less toxicity in the places I hang out in. Even went as far as to wipe my account clean with a service so I'm not contributing any content to them, but keep my handle so nobody can steal it from me and say things.

Yes. It was pretty easy too. I didn't use the desktop version, but the Legere client instead. I just had to remove the Legere shortcut that I was used to click on when I was waiting for something to load. Now I never go to reddit on desktop. I still have Infinity on my phone but I don't like phone apps so It's just sitting there.

Now for meme-addict people Lemmy may seem a bit empty, but that's fine by me.

I do, I barely visit Reddit anymore. The only time I visit it is when I unconsciously click reddit on a search engine's results (Although I figure out how to filter websites on the search results so that problem is minimal now)

I still occasionally lurk on reddit, just a few obscure subs like r/fedora. Lemmy is the first social platform I've actually commented on.

Honestly I wasn't to interested in the whole "movement" against the API changes. Being a nerd, the underlying tech behind activitypub is what got me interested.

Just switched recently but I feel as if the communities in lemmy produces quality content than reddit

Ive been on reddit maybe 5 times since the sunday prior to the blackout... Four of those were by mistake, just habitually going to the website when on my pc, or accidentally opening baconreader on my phone.

I am making every effort to not go to reddit for anything if I can help it. I realize that most people arent doing this, and probably a dumb symbolic protest.. but Ive gotta stand on this one.

I dont think I will ever really replace Reddit with Lemmy, but ending the doomscrolling on any app is probably a better thing for me.

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

Me, I stopped browsing reddit actively unless trying to find an answer on Google.
