Asklemmy

I admit I wasn't intending to leave Reddit. Sure, I absolutely wasn't going to install the damn official app, but I browse Reddit way more on desktop that on my phone. But it turns out my time spent on Reddit absolutely tanked without me doing much. Lemmy turned out to be a better replacement for me than I expected, I could find a lot of interesting activity here unlike, say, Mastodon where I had to dig further.

That does not mean I left Reddit entirely lol, but I sure enter way less now.

Yes, but I've realised that I go in less and less.

there's a single community there that i read but don't engage with, because they haven't found a new home. also, while problem solving some tech issues, qwant and ddg both feed me reddit as threads to find solutions, but i digest the info and dont sign in, upvote, comment etc

Not really. Checked it a couple of times, but I'm sticking with Lemmy. Don't miss it, don't need it.

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that nah

I do. I have a personal libreddit instance on a vps tho, so no login, no update, no comments, no ads. Basically no touch, only watch 😆

Of course not!!

<.< >.>

Fuck no

I created a libreddit instance for myself, so if I want to browse a specific subreddit that hasn't moved away, (e.g. /r/warthunder) I can without using the official site.

I purged my comments and deleted my main account on July 1st, which was surprisingly emotional for me. I use Alien Blue on mobile, which still works so far, but now that my main account is logged out, I'll never be able to log another account in because authentication has been broken in Alien Blue for a while.

I'm keeping Alien Blue installed for two reasons: one, for checking on a friend who only posts updates on reddit, and two, I read r/games a couple times a week for headlines and discussion. Lemmy just doesn't have the same level of engagement or discussion as r/games; even though there's a certain brand of insufferable commenters there, the majority of people post thoughtful comments that are more than one or two sentences long and those are the kinds of threads I like reading. Lemmy threads seem to be more shallow; lots of replies to the parent, but very few threads that go more than one or two comments deep.

I was a joey user. But already had my lemme already set up for this day. I might use reddit just to track the events of the Ukraine war and some stable diffusion stuff. But most of that discord and telegram can be used instead.

Maybe occasionally subredditdrama to see the meltdowns happening. For now I'm trying to see which lemmy app I like best. Right now connect seems to be the one I am using most.

Just checked today and found out that they decided to rob all users of their coins.

Unfortunately some topic specific subs haven't made the jump to Lemmy yet, so for those I still have to check there occasionally

Of course I do. It's reddit.

i just check it twice a week

No I don’t, why would I when there’s Lemmy with all this fine people?

No. I only really use my phone for everything. It's impossible to see the old website on mobile and the regular website is hot garbage, and somehow their app is even worse. There is no way for me to access Reddit and have a pleasant experience anymore.

Reddit basically forced me to go to Lemmy. I was mad at first, but now 3 weeks into it (1 week casual before the Baconreader died and then 2 weeks of redditesque addiction) I really don't mind. There are some subs I really miss, but hopefully someone makes communities for them soon. (Malicious compliance and HobbyDrama are what immediately pop into my head)

Nope. I quit cold turkey on June 30 and haven't been back. Well, not on purpose, at least. Sometimes a Google result sends me to Reddit, but when it loads I just close it and move to the next result. Lemmy works fine for everything I used Reddit for.

i modded a copy of apollo to use my private api. until they cut that off, i still do.

Sometimes I open up the home page to see what's up, then I see what's up is less interesting than it used to be and less interesting than what's happening here. And I close it pretty quickly. I'm still using it as part of my Google searches when I need quick human answers. It's gonna continue to be a historical resource in that regard. No getting around that. But my account only exists so that I can access those resources without too much fuss. It's not something I use to post or contribute. I used the Sign In With Apple feature to just generate a throwaway anonymous account after I deleted my 11 year old account.

i still scroll a little bit. a few subs with content i cant really get anywhere else. tbh the content on lemmy is very bare so i’ll scroll twitter more…

.

I do. But only when I absolutely need to. I kind of miss the uk motorbike dub. But, eh, that's just life.

If I do need to use it. I go firefox with ghostery, and Ublock origin. But that's only because, if I search for a problem, reddit usually has it. If it asks me to use the mobile app, then, I can always just tell Firefox to use the desktop site, and I haven't had an issue with that yet.

Only when I search for something and there is a result from reddit, I read that and only that one. Otherwise, no.

What is this pinning shenanigans
