No Stupid Questions

It's the community that makes reddit what it is. Lemmy cannot become reddit unless the community moves. The community will move if we make high effort content here.

I have switched from Relay for reddit to Jerboa for lemmy. But Jerboa still opens too much in browser, and I'm missing my mix of stuff. I could waste couple hours on reddit just consuming. Here, I run out of stuff in half an hour.

Also, the communities for the games I play are still over in reddit. Movie discussion threads are still on reddit. There are enough normies there that they will stick to reddit even after the protests. I can move my scrolling to Lemmy, that is my plan, but occasional visits to a few select places on reddit, will continue to happen.

yes, I deleted all my reddit accounts and have been trying to go cold turkey. Instead Ive been using gaming blogs (RockPaperShotgun), Ground.news, and Lemmy to replace it. its not 1:1 but its been working so far. oh, and a bunch of discords for random memes lol

My reddit usage has dropped steadily over the past week, starting with ~50% on day 1 and now almost 90%.

There's a few things I read on reddit, mostly related to its downfall (Apollo apps post yesterday), but otherwise it's this or doing something entirely different.

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

Since I deleted my reddit account, yes.

I haven't been on Reddit since sunday 11th.

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

I haven't intentionally been to reddit since June 10 or so, but some of my searches take me there. Been trying to use Discord as much as possible for those same questions but i do hit deadends sometimes that only those years old reddit posts can fix.

I haven't cut Reddit out completely, as much as I dislike the organisation, I did enjoy the community and it'll still be a huge source of information for a while yet. But once RIF stops working I won't be using my phone anymore, just my PC. Lemmy is growing and it's fun to witness it

My first comment ever on Lemmy. As an Open-Source developer myself, the dirty moves around the Reddit API was definitely what pushed me to the FediVerse and Lemmy. I'd like to slowly move indefinitely to Lemmy from Reddit.

IPOs = death of what made your thing cool.

I've 100% abandoned reddit. The site outlived itself and it's beyond time for something new. I left Digg several weeks before it collapsed and it sure fells similar to reddit today. It just isn't worth visiting and hasn't been for years now.

I have been on reddit more but with ublock origin installed and only to post John Oliver and to help with the protest. When the month is over I wont be posting any more to reddit.

Only came back to reddit to edit my profile stating where Ive switched to (kbin in my case).
Left one comment on a post asking for advice telling them an answer was posted on the subs's kbin equivallent.
Other than that, I don't plan to log back in, and if I need to search something I do it adding https://reddit.adminforge.de/

I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.

I'm fully onto Lemmy from Reddit now. I'm spending a lot more time here. Quality of posts is better and more interesting. This is where the smart people go.

Also Lemmy is greatly smaller and has a strong community feel. Lemmy is going to grow fast after Reddit kills off mobile apps, but hopefully it can retain the community feel.

I’ve made the switch permanently. For apps you could try out Memmy or Mlem on the test flight app. Personally I’m using Memmy and I’m loving the swipe to upvote comments feature!

Hello. I'm new here. This is my first reply and first subscribe on #kbin.

Deleted my Reddit and not going back to it.

I'm just getting used to it and adapting, but I'm liking it.

I enter to Reddit for the memes (with all the shitshow it is occurring right now) and for the community itch that Reddit used to scratch there is Lemmy.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

Not yet. I'm using the Lemmy app, but it's not very well finished at the moment. I understand that this is to be expected given that it's in test flight. But that's the only factor limiting me right now.

If i had Apollo for Lemmy, I'd have quit reddit entirely.

This is my first message.

Last week no, this week yes. The learning* curve is steep compared to reddit. I still haven't taken the time to learn enough.

Currently full time lurking on Lemmy. I have only used Reddit when there is absolutely no analogue for my issue (in this case, used fightsticks for FGC titles)

Using the Memmy app on iOS

I just go to reddit to upvote protest posts and unsubscribe from scab subreddits.

Lemmy has everything I need. :D

In the meantime, why don't you crosspost the posts you miss here? Blatant stealing content was appreciated in reddit, and I'm sure this community will take it with open arms!

Short answer: Yes!

When the blackout started, most of my content was inaccessible. And what was accessible, I did not want to engage with (strike breakers).

So I was pretty much exclusively on lemmy from the beginning.

When I should accept new terms and conditions on the app, I deinstalled it.

I'm only on the other site to advertise for the future, or edit/delete my posts and comments. Might cross post content from here to the sinking ship to help others see where to go.

I was, then I wasn't, but only because my Reddit is curated with over a decade of finding the subs I like.

However, I'm still slowly trying to find and curate my Lemmy experience, which I expect will pickup even more steam once 3rd Party API's get shut down the end of this month.

It's not even just a matter of principle, the Reddit official app is terrible, which is almost funny since I loved AlienBlue.

Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes

My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.

I've not been back to reddit once since I created my Lemmy account. I've googled some things which have only really yielded reddit links, however instead of going to reddit to get the answer, I've just asked my question on Lemmy.

I unsubbed from most of the default reddit subs and from the subs where the mods didn't seem to care about the protest.

For the future, I intend to limit my engagement to a few subreddits related to the war in Ukraine, because that's something I follow closely and care about a lot. The communities on lemmy/kbin just aren't active enough yet to stay up to date.

my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads
