...how many of you will stay? Personally, I wiped my Reddit history and deleted my account, so I'm definitely here to stay. I can see, however, that a number of people see Lemmy more as a distraction until the blackout is over. I wonder what that number would be.

wait, how can we wipe our post history?

[–] dan1101 4 points 1 year ago

Power Delete Suite is one way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

There are tools out there, I'm using a script for Tampermonkey whose name is escaping me right now.

[–] MicroWave 4 points 1 year ago

lemmy.world, beehaw.org, and kbin.social are now in my rotation of daily (okay, hourly) websites. There’s no reason to solely rely on Reddit if there’s a chance to grow these communities.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Already deleted all my reddit accounts and uninstalled Joey (TPA). I'll be honest and say that I won't completely stop going to reddit, but it will be pretty rare and just as a spectator. I won't be participating anymore. There's just too much information there right now and there are some subs i follow that probably won't migrate here.

[–] d00phy 4 points 1 year ago

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 intending to stay, barring poking in and seein if there's any extra niche communities that could fit at home here (there's a good few cat ones), I wiped my accounts and am currently waiting on a data request export. Once I can get that then I'm wiping my accounts and not turning back.

[–] kinther 3 points 1 year ago

Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I'm fully Lemmy only now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't deleted my account yet, but I'm in no hurry to go back. I'll go back if I see some change (in any case I'll also be here, it's cozy)

[–] Gazelli 3 points 1 year ago

I'm here for good. Yes it will take some time to get the lay of the land but, I'm already confident this will become a much better home for me.

[–] juicybootypatootie 3 points 1 year ago

I think there needs to be more communities so I can really leave reddit. Also not for sure about the messaging option on here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Haven't decided yet if I'll stay, or get rid of this type of social media entirely. We'll see. Not going back to Reddit though, I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Planning on sticking around! I'm losing RiF and Jerboa seems to work well enough; hopefully it continues to improve as the platform continues to get more popular. I'll likely still check on Reddit for certain communities as they develop here, but otherwise I'm digging Lemmy and would love to see it grow!

[–] berkeleyblue 2 points 1 year ago

I like Lemmy, but if Reddit came to terms and reverts it's idiocy and allows Apollo to keep running, I would probably start using Reddit again. Until then, they can burn in hell.

[–] dustojnikhummer 2 points 1 year ago

I will still use old.reddit with RES on my desktop, but Reddit is dead to me on my phone because the 1st party app is just unusable trash

[–] TDSP 2 points 1 year ago

I am liking my experience so far. I did a decade on Reddit and feel like I got the full experience (including moderating a subreddit big enough to have front page problems). I was already a bit tired of it when I got called a Nazi like 30 times for posting on a specific subreddit a few times. This new enshittification kinda clenched that I want to move to a different place. Not sure if it’s Lemmy or not, but I’m trying it.

[–] justaveg 2 points 1 year ago

I will probably use both reddit and lemmy. But as long as I can't use a third party app for reddit, I will use it a lot less. And the better lemmy gets, the more I will use it vs reddit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not so invested in Reddit that I'll feel the need to go back. Also the blackout is just the tip of the iceberg, being forced to use a shitty app because they won't let third parties in, lack of trust and the push for further monetization=advertising will push reddit into an unusable YouTube forum clone.

Nah, I'd rather stay here thanks.

[–] marswarrior 2 points 1 year ago

I deleted my 8 year old reddit account because I never actually liked reddit in the first place, and only used it because the answers I was looking for in google, linked to reddit. I created a macro photography community here, and I'm staying here to moderate it. Please join! https://lemmy.world/c/macrophotography

[–] ProximaC 2 points 1 year ago

16 years... I have several custom feeds that I will lurk when im on my pc, but I think I'm done posting there. Lemmy will hopefully grow to replace it for me.

[–] HorseFD 2 points 1 year ago

This place feel so much better. The only downside is the user base isn't here yet. Let's hope many more people move over.

[–] thecrow32 2 points 1 year ago

It feels weird honestly as my usage of Reddit didn't really have me thinking about how Reddit was run. Understanding what's wrong with it now though, I see the need to have a proper alternative to it that's actually community-driven. While I wish for better synergy in this platform (which might come in one form or another), this does give me the feeling of the old IRC days somewhat where there would be one server and an infinite amount of chats to join.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm staying

[–] Mihuy 2 points 1 year ago

I will delete my account after the third party apps stop working. I am still kind of hoping for that to not happen I guess... But either way won't be using reddit

[–] Gauffke 2 points 1 year ago

Will definitely stay, Reddit account is deleted!
