I'm still trying to figure out whether to use kbin vs. lemmy. Kbin is making alot more sense.

I have been trialing Lemmy and kbin today. The real downside to Lemmy for me is the login! I can't even login sometimes. I thought it was only the account creation that was the problem.

yep, same approach. tbh, this feels like a step in the right direction, provided this doesn't end up another LNP shillfest like the Aus subreddits.

Last time i visited was on 11th and I'm not going back unless they reverse their course. I like Lemmy and will continue using it regardless.

Not that reddit will notice (adblock etc.) but haven't visited all week. Kind of enjoying avoiding it TBH.

I deleted my accounts, I pop over there from time to time to check out specific subs that don't have an equivalent here yet, but that's not very often.

I'm done with reddit entirely. I started over 16 years ago. It was getting steadily worse year over year ever since the Digg migration. It has long since been relentlessly toxic and negative. I've been wanting a viable alternative for a long while. I'm very grateful for what spez has done as it's created multiple viable alternatives and I'm fucking loving it. Between here and Tildes, it's very close to what super old school reddit was like, and I've missed that a lot. I have no reason to go back. And with the changes both to the apps and now the user population, it'll only be worse still. Regardless, I couldn't be happier about this. This is far better. And the internet is better for it.

I deleted my account on Wednesday. I loved Reddit, but without RIF it's useless to me. Also the more I read about the Fediverse the more I think it's the proper way for social media to work in the future of the Internet.

haven't been back since the blackout, when temptation hits I come here instead. I've also picked up reading again. I think maybe I'll use reddit if I need advice on some product or something.

I've been on Reddit a few times since the 'official blackout' ended but mostly been on Lemmy. I deleted one off my accounts. The other I've just used to browse a little. I'm not posting, commenting, or voting on anything. Probably once rif and old.reddit die, I'll be done. I've never had the misfortune to view new reddit or the official app and I don't plan to start now.

I have. I hardly ever commented on Reddit but am trying to make more of an effort here. I'll go if there's some tech solution or game guide in a specific comment that Google leads me to, but no longer will I use it for idle browsing.

I left and am enjoying Lemmy. I might join some of the subreddit discords for good memes to cross-post in the future and to recruit more lemons once the servers are more stable.

I miss reddit, but it's been one week since I logged in. Removed Boost (my reddit client app on my phone) and forced myself to not go there. Since then I discovered Lemmy, and since I use mastodon as well, it's interesting to see both interconnectable. I'll see in the long run, but I don't think I'll use my reddit account again. (unless there is big changes, but even then, I'm not sure)

I’m there a little at the moment whilst my apps of choice (Apollo and ReddPlanet) are still operational. However it’s nothing g like it used to be (the blackout has worked from that regard) and I’m over here more often now.

I have definitely been a lot more active around here. A lot of people talk about deleting their old accounts, but I have a hard time bringing myself to do that to mine, not because I want to be active on Reddit, but just because there is a lot of history that I'm anxious about losing I guess.

I have not visited reddit logging in since last Sunday. I've gone to a couple subreddits from a browser not logged in to see if they were still private. I uninstalled RIF after like 12 years of use.

I'm still on there for a few subreddits that haven't bothered with the blackouts, and there is no Lemmy alternative at the moment.

I use Sync so I imagine once 1/7 rolls round I won't be on there any more. I swapped the Sync and Lemmy icons on my phone though, so by habit I now open Lemmy 😆

I’ve been here for about seven days and occasionally open my Apollo app out of habit. When that happens I come visit Lemmy. I don’t really miss Reddit.

Yep... Probably. If bacon reader stops working, then definitely.

Either way I feel dirty looking, so I think we are done lol.

No more Reddit for me. I deleted my account

Done with it forever! Glad to be here

I left last year. I doubt this place will be much better from a moderation perspective but see how it goes.

I have the boost for reddit app. To me that's reddit. When that stops working I'll delete the app and that will be the end of it. Hopefully one day there will be a boost for lemmy.

Yep, all contents and accounts gone. I can really hold a grudge. And quitting Facebook, then insta then twitter was followed by an increase in my happiness, so it’s a huge incentive. Nothing is going away, nothing is being lost. People, the real value of these platforms, still exist, and will repopulate other platforms with content really fast.

Yeah I'm done with Reddit unless they do a big 180. Which I doubt they will.

Feels icky to go there, now that I know how they conduct themselves.

Not fully yet. Not all subreddits I browse have migrated or are planning to. I might slowly wean myself off it once the 3rd party apps stop working and I have enough of browsing old reddit on my phone.

Ditched completely, I was a lurker on reddit, I had nothing to add to discussions. The #threadiverse feels like home, it's easy to engage and you get to talk to a lot of nice people.

Deleted my reddit account. Trying this new federated stuff is more fun anyways.
Onboarding should be easier, so less tech savvy people can join too. Right now it is like choosing an linux distro.

I was already on Mastadon after Twitter's meltdown but still used Reddit until all this stuff happened. Deleted my Reddit account and haven't looked back!

I haven't been back since the protest began and it's been generally fine. I miss a few communities, but I'm seeing some that I've liked at least beginning to have a presence here.

I haven’t touched it since about 2 days before the blackout. Hoping there’s a decent app for iOS soon for kbin.

Ironically, the only interaction I have with reddit now are links posted to kbin/lemmy.

Occasionally a Google result. But I'm done with it, whatever I was getting from reddit I'm getting from Kbin now.

I've almost ditched it. The only traffic they get from me is when I search for something and add site:reddit.com out of instinct to filter out the SEO crap.

I found a home in Reddit when Digg v4 happened. After many years, I wound up deleting my Reddit account and using it 100% anonymously as a pure consumption content aggregator. I'm here on kbin now and restarting my engagement with the content. It feels fun again! I just wish we had a catchy name like Digg v4 to call this Reddit exodus.

As an aside I didn't consume Reddit at all during the blackouts in solidarity even as an anonymous consumer, but when I returned it was full of trash and Reddit quadrupled down on their shitty position so I deleted the apps and have added all the Reddit owned domains to my pinhole alongside Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

If there is archived content I need to access for support or finding advice, I'll be using the fediverse and archive.org from now on.

Deleted everything 2 days before the blackout.

Also didn’t want to wait till the end of the month incase there was an influx of people at the end when the API becomes paid.

No regrets.

Yeah, I'm not going back.

I haven’t looked at Reddit since the eve of the Reddit Blackout. I switched to kbin and moved Apollo to a second iPhone Home Screen I call “The Memorial to Great iOS Apps Killed by Assholes” (it also contains Twitterrific).

I’ve added the web app icon for kbin to where Apollo used to be, and good old muscle memory has taken care of any absent-minded Reddit visits that might otherwise happen.

I genuinely loaded it up perhaps 3 times in the last 5 days or so and those were on accident, with me leaving immediately again. I‘m committed to this in a similar way I am committed to quit smoking, ~280 days without a cigarette.

Starting today, I'll try to not open reddit once, and start to learn more about the federative "system" or whatever youw want to call it. I think it definitely will be hard, but i do see a lot of possibility here in lemmy and in the federative in general! I've also moved away from twitter and on to mastodon.

I was already on the fediverse, though I still use reddit for some stuff, I probably will only post here and use reddit read-only from now on though. I did the same with twitter awhile back and now I just don't read twitter.

On a slight tangent I also found on the fediverse I get more engagement than on twitter or whatever, so I really never found it hard to move. While on twitter you might blow up and end up in the news (if you think thats a good thing lol), the fediverse your more likely to get actual engagement but your less likely to end up on the news. Though sometimes now you do! Which is weird lol.

Me, I'm here to stay.

I used Reddit exclusively through third party apps, without them I have no want to use the site anymore.

And with spez proving how much of a massive bellend he is, it only reinforces my decision.

I have. I have a lot of respect for Christian and his Apollo App. It was the only way I browsed Reddit. Also going forward, it will never be the same over there. I'm enjoying kbin so far though!
