The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.
Since they confirmed that won't change their mind about the API changes, I uninstalled infinity and I only spend time here. So far has been great!
Discussion is better here, I find myself just looking through the local feed. Content specific stuff has some catching up to do
Went basically cold turkey on Reddit before the blackout, switching over to Kbin.
I know Reddit will survive, at least for the next while, but after witnessing Reddit's behaviour through all of this, I refuse to be a part of it.
My only use of Reddit will be for Google results, and that will be reading only with an Ad blocked - they won't make a penny off of me anymore if I can help it.
Yes. Rotating between Lemmy & Kbin.
Actually getting work done during the day also.
Reddit on Mobile is completely dead to me and I will only use it on my desktop for specific searches if the info is not available elsewhere (last resort).
0.1% of the time wil be spend on Reddit, with an ad blocker of course.
Reddit is dead... let it remain that way I'm here now, hope to see this site do it big and become a better place FOR ALL
Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.
I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.
Probably 98% Lemmy, 2% Reddit just to check the current shitposting and vote in polls about what some of my communities should do now.
Haven't deleted my account... but I logged out of Reddit last week and haven't been back since.
Probably not going back either.
Sadly, the majority will keep on using reddit(I'm talking overall about reddit users). I will use it only if some of my favorite communities don't get created here. I was banned on reddit for whoever knows what reasons(aka sweaty mods) so I can't really communicate there. And if I create a new account it gets banned too - tracking your device - is that even legal? When I reported racism, sexism, etc. they didn't even check it or said it wasn't breaking their rules - I think that sums it all up about reddit, their morals and policy. People are going back to reddit, communities are opening from being private, unfortunatelly nothing really changed. SomeOrdinaryGamers made a pretty good video explaining the reddit 'blackout'. You either cut the head off or it will eat you. Reddit community got eaten this time.
Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.
I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.
I'm a mix of a few of the alternatives. Squabbles is currently my favorite, but I'm liking a bit of Lemmy, too!
I'm on reddit some, but less and less.
Definitely spending more time here but as the lemmyverse (infact the whole fediverse) grows the duplication of communities among instances would be a headache and might lead to fragmentation. But since being able to federate is the sole reason most of us are here, what if we get a tab or option so an instance can combine all the posts of duplicate named communities with every possible instance it can federate with and show it in one place? I mean yes there might be challenges to achieve that but why not! @[email protected] ??
Slowly learning the INS and outs of it. Currently hybrid reddit and now Lemmy. Once my reddit app stops working I'll stop visiting the site.
I'm digging it thus far, honestly the only issue is the content. But that's getting better as more and more users start using Lemmy.
Most of my favorite subs are irreversibly affected by protestors. Going there, I just see a feed of filler content among meme posts. I don't believe reddit has anything to offer me anymore, and I'm no longer interested in interacting on the company's platform.
Honestly, seeing how many people signed up on these federated services and the amount of people sharing similar viewpoints over this controversy is refreshing. We stuck with reddit for too long, for no good reason other than a lack of competition, and I'm excited to see what changes this can bring!
Oh definitely
Yes.
Yes but I only see 2 problems so far. The siloing of instances and searchability. I can't search with lemmy yet since there are so many instances with no standard like with site:reddit.com. Way less issues than dealing with reddit so it's a big win for me!
I'll stop reddit on my phone entirely when rif dies and I'll only do the occasional checking of a couple of subs on old.reddit after that. Right now I'm there just long enough to remember how bad it has gotten and then I come back here for immediate relief.
I havenβt been on Reddit since the day of the Blackout and wonβt be. I find my screen time has been cut down significantly and I like it.
For now I have an e reader and Steamdeck, whenever I want to browse I donβt, or I pick one of these.
This way the content I consume is curated by me and not an algorithm.
Right now only because I'm trying to get a community off the ground and running so I can enjoy the same content I did before but it's a slow process. I've got followers but no posts really. There's another community I'd like to make but I can't handle trying to build up two communities so I'll just have to wait for someone else to get the idea.
But so far Lemmy, because it's not so widely traveled feels newer and nicer than Reddit. I had been taking pretty long breaks from reddit, not really feeling I was missing anything. I imagine I'll get to the same point here but one thing Lemmy has in it's favor is the ability to block communities so they don't come up on my feed. That's what sucked about Reddit for me, something would always come across my feed to depress me. So I'm blocking a lot of communities so this place stays a nice place to visit for me.
I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.
I haven't touched Reddit since the blackout began and I don't think I'm going to do it again. Maybe one more time just to delete my account.
I check lemmy a few times per day, reddit now a few times per week, and only the few subreddits that have no good alternatives yet.
I just got here but I plan to. I don't like the direction Reddit is going at all. It's also overrun with OF bots which is annoying.
this is my first time here, imma quit Reddit on July 1st if nothing changes, might even delete my account
Shreddit-ed my accounts, so definitely here more often now
I'm very much treating Lemmy like the old BB forums days (I know they are still around but most people just made subreddits for those type of communities). Its kinda fun seeing small communities spark up, and trying to help them grow.
I have used reddit, but so far its mainly been to check my old post history and such, try to mirror some of the communities I was following there.
I've completely moved over but I miss it. It was so established. I've been drawn to game walk-throughs and nude celeb searches but I've fought it off.
Fuck spez
I haven't dropped reddit completely, but I'm mainly on Lemmy. There are still some subs I occasionally visit on Reddit, including one I'm moderator for, but I did most of my reading in Baconreader at the end of the day. That closure reading is now Lemmy only.
I check back in periodically, but I'm making an effort to participate on here as much as possible. Loving it so far. Yeah, there are still a few kinks to be worked out, but overall the transition has been seemless to me.
The biggest issue I have come across is trying to wrap my head around instances and how to browse what where.
I dowloaded Jerboa and started on lemmy.world, and when I found out about all the others instances and different sites to browse and subscribe to.
Im sure with some more time, I'll get a handle on it.
Nothing is good on reddit right now other than watching it burn, of course people would be on here where the contents are.
I spend all my time here now, I actually uninstalled reddit and blocked it at the router, removed the want of using it tremendously
I deleted all my content and my Reddit accounts, I only use lemmy and kbin for discussions, now. I think I've visited Reddit a couple times from search engine results over the past couple of days, but my page visitation has dropped by a factor of at-least 100.
