2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

About 2 clicks and few fingy taps on the keyboard.
So not too bad, unless you don't have fingies, might be a bit more difficult.
I love my fingies
As soon as RIF stopped working while I was in the middle of using it, I made an account on Lemmy.World and haven't looked at Reddit again since.
If only time machines existed.
it was a really easy transition
Surprisingly easy. I just come to Lemmy now, and I use social media less overall too. It's been better for my mental health
Not hard at all. I'm not a very well connected person and beyond that I value what the Fediverse is all about. I used to casual-browse Reddit. Now I don't even do that.
Leaving Twitter for Hive Social was a no-brainer. Almost anything that isn't heralded by that sycophant Musk was a win.
I don't use TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp .etc so that's easy to avoid.
Reddit is more or less a struggle, obviously I'm still there to a degree because their numbers outweigh Lemmy's and I do like the feeling of instant interactivity because of those numbers.
Reddit made it pretty easy to stop - their app is so bad I just don't bother logging in much.
I still check in a bit as I have a few open dialogues going but I don't browse it anymore.
Twitter is harder - too many people I follow.
Didn't care, just deleted. Only told my wife who would wonder why I stopped following her.
Depends on what exactly is considered a social media site. Most of them I never really used, so "easy". Reddit was the biggest one for me, and well they made my choice for me when they decided they didn't want to let me browse it in a decent way.
Not hard at all. There's so much here to see and interact with.
Totes agree.
I deleted my reddit account and never looked back. It wss an adjustment, but with a little patience I got used to how lemmy works.
Same here.
Honestly, not hard at all. I've already been perma banned from reddit, (Mohamed raped a 9 year old, and reddit doesn't like that particular fact about that particular religion), and I was only using it sparingly through alts. Lemmy feels so much better. Yeah, it's has some tankies, but holy hell we can actually talk here.
