Asklemmy

I made a private LibReddit instance so I can still get the news from specific communities that aren't elsewhere.

Occasionally. From my desktop. Not really from my phone anymore. I like lemmy well enough but there still isn't as much content especially for niche subjects.

I do because there are a lot of valuable infos, but I 'm deliberately not voting and commenting.

I still use it for dinner subs that moved over to lemmy, but couldn't grow much. Like 40klore.

Only to check /r/canadapublicservants and /r/urf, otherwise I'm avoiding it. Unfortunately it still is often one of the best sites in search results

Yes, I will only switch when this link,

/c/knitting

Shows every post to /c/knitting on every instance, in chronological order. Without having to subscribe to every instance, without having to create multireddit equivalent.

Just give me lemmyverse's entire /c/knitting

I had a web result that the result I was looking for was on Reddit. I guess that's technically using it, but I wasn't logged in and didn't touch anything. It still counts as a visitor though, and I'm disappointed in that.

only for r/piracy megathread

Literally have not been back since I decided to leave before the blackout.

Considering incised to spen hours a day s rolling that place, I haven't missed it and just moved on. 12years or more I was a regular contributor and viewer and quit cold turkey style :)

About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.

The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.

lemmy has completely replaced reddit for me ngl, it's pretty much the same experience, for me at least, and I actually like it here more, people are more engaging and I got 100+ upvotes on a post for the FIRST TIME!

honestly I don't see myself going back, I will miss finding a niche sub and having enough content there for me to scroll for hours but hey, we'll get there too eventually!

I’m currently in the process of replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I’m keeping Reddit for the sole purpose of being linked there from Google Results and until I get used to Lemmy, how it works, and find communities that are relevant to me.

I do find Lemmy interesting in how , despite being in an instance, you can still see posts from other instances and such. I am still getting used to it, so will keep Reddit around until I am completely accustomed to it.

I used reddit pretty much exclusively on my phone through the Boost app. When that went dark, I didn't really feel the need to go out of my way to download a far worse app, so I stopped checking reddit.

I blocked it at the router, so nowadays I don't use it unless there's an article I really need to access

I do, but not nearly as much. Probably spend about half the time if not less then before Apollo went down. Opening up GitHub to check on Voyager updates probably as often as I am opening up Reddit.

I was searching for a fix for some MS bullshit and clicked on a link that had a good answer... and lo and behold, Reddit. "Came for the cats, stayed for the empathy." Yes, they still have that on the banner. Lol!!

I deleted my account during the "strike", and this was my first time back. I couldn't upvote the poster, and for a second that made me sad.

Someone linked mlmym.org

which mimics oldreddit... I feel at home now.

I go back to check hometown sub once or twice a day. if I go to the front page, I only make it through about half before I realize what I'm doing and switch. Quite honestly, it feels poisonous. Whatever algorithm they have my brain has decided it can live without.

Yeah, Lemmy doesn't have everyone over from Reddit.

I have pretty much stopped.

It’s not usable on my phone and now searches are basically buggered with a number of subreddits being nsfw. So for example I was searching something specific to pop_os and can’t view the thread. Just closed it. Will block Reddit returns in Kagi now most likely.

I think there may have been a day or two where I looked at it for a few minutes in the browser at work over the past couple of weeks.

Tech support searches sometime bring me back, but I haven't really been back otherwise since the boycott started.

I have not gone to Reddit just to "use reddit" since discovering lemm.ee a couple weeks ago. Sometimes still end up on specific threads through search results, especially for obscure stuff on older video games.

Only in read only mode.

Yes, only for fap purposes.

After everything went down and Sync stopped, my usage dropped considerably. I was still using Joey and Infinity for light browsing, but I haven't really browsed Reddit in about a week and have been on Lemmy and Kbin exclusively. I feel more engaged here too.

Browsing Reddit just seemed different, like the quality of posts and comments dropped considerably.

Yes, but when I go to my multireddits, it's a barren desert of absolute n00bs asking questions that can be googled in five seconds. Makes me really miss what it used to be. I hope Lemmy gets more engagement.

I go there through Tedit sometimes when info I need comes up in a search, but I haven't logged in or browsed the site directly since the API protest blackout.

Weird how I seem to have more free time now. Must be a coincidence.

No, I do not. Except when I'm looking for something and reddit is the only place where I can find my answers. But that rarely happens.

Sometimes. I'm very active on Reddit before the Reddit API change. I have moved to Lemmy since. Since Reddit is blocked in Indonesia, I usually use it as a secondary platform. I just checked it once in a while when using a VPN or using DNS-on-HTTPS.

Yes. But instead of spending ever free minute on it I'll only check it once or maybe twice a day.

Most communities I cared about feel less lively. Except for maybe two or three.

Scrammed and deleted all comments and got accounts banned [for saying fuck u/spez].

I only lurk a few places that don't exist here in a meaningful way. Discovery is harder here and desktop socks without RES.

Yeah, unfortunately. I'm trying to switch over fully but there's still some subreddits that I can't replicate on Lemmy. I'll be off once I get alternatives to all the snake, big cat, and bird subs that I use to look at cool animals, though. iNaturalist just isn't as browsable.

I haven't posted in years, but there is still so much content there. Now though without my favourite app (Joey) I probably will go there less. Even less when they disable old.reddit.com.

Not since July 1st…. For a few days I was refreshing google and yahoo news habitually but so glad I finally found lemmy

I'm trying to stay away and I do feel like there is a reasonable chance I might be able to.
I recently subscribed to a Lemmy "self-hosted" and "asklemmy" group and content is starting to trickle in real good.

Mostly I feel it's a matter of consolidating Lemmy groups with the same topics into super-groups. This should help with general useability as well as making things more friendly for people moving over from Reddit.
Federation support for other Fediverse products towards Lemmy also will need some work still.

Nah

Totally off reddit. I have seamlessly replaced one with the other.

I use it for finding information on Google, but other than that nah
