See, if reddit had just let the upvote/downvote system work as intended, instead of banning people for no reason at all in a lot of cases, this entire problem likely would have been avoided. And no matter what the bans should have never been permanent! We dont put people in prison FOREVER, social media accounts should also be treated with some decency.
I can't say I will stay on Lemmy. But I won't return to Reddit.
Same here. It's already gotten sucky, and it's only going to get worse.
If you want to know the future of Reddit, look at Facebook.
Yes. For the time being. Would love to see larger migration from reddit.
Yes. I’ve been been on lemmy.world and kbin.social for the past week and the growth and content maturation is good enough for me now, and improving fast.
I deleted my Reddit account and all my post history yesterday.
I'm planning on staying here permanently. I'll go into Reddit just to check subreddit names I've subscribed to and see if there's a Lemmy community for it every now and then, but I'm not going to engage with Reddit more than that.
Ive found the transition to be seamless. I put Jerboa in the spot where RiF used to be on my phone, and now I dont even think about going to the old site.
Its actually nicer to he around at the nascent stages of Lemmy's popularity. Im catching different communities just by sorting through all/new that I wouldn't have found otherwise
LLL
I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.
I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.
Also "a serious Reddit user since the digg incident" and won't be going back. There are some communities I'll miss, but I look forward to rebuilding them here.
Spez really really fucked up on this one. A few tweaks and mobile app with the same no-bullshit styles like narwhal, apollo, and RIF on android and this place wins every time
That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.
Hell yeah I'm stayin. Especially after reddit continued to dig in their heels
I intend to BUT ultimately the decision is on the mayority's preference
I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.
[hey, first post on Lemmy 🥳]
If Mastodon & Lemmy remains are active as they are right now, then yes.
i'll stay on lemmy once more of the popular content extends beyond "lemmy vs reddit". I'm liking lemmy a lot and with better mobile apps, it'll encourage me to stay.
same, im already starting to see normal posts so im optimistic
Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.
Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.
I was already on lemmy dammit
These poor lemmy users who aren't on reddit. Suddenly a herd of raging ex-redditors come storming into their otherwise quiet community and take shit over. :)
Yes, but
The site needs a ton of UX polishing to keep "lazy users" hooked (something I think it's critical if you want to harvest as much users as possible from this fire). I feel like software developers tend to be more conscientious internet citizens that fight for their rights and seek independence, so I'm hoping that gives an influx of fixes/bug reports on lemmy's github repo leading to stability, but maybe we also need to find ways to collaborate with front-end/brand design people (?)
First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.
Yes, it's really clean. Once it grows the debugging will help smooth things out.
When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.
Yes!
Time will tell. Digg was great until it wasn't. Reddit killing my favorite app of 10+ years can fuck off (long live Bacon Reader). Lemmy by design is fragmented which is great, but will introduce momentum problems. Really it's going to come done to; Is their a Lemmy app and server that I can encapsulate most of my interests into and be able to ignore the rest?
I like Lemmy so far and I'm definitely not installing the Reddit app once RiF is dead, we'll see how things go.
I certainly hope so. While I can't look into the future, I haven't been feeling the need to return to reddit at all, and I have hopes for Lemmy - if it continues to grow without devolving into some bot-infested, right-wing mess or something.
For now though, I'm definitely hopeful. The announcement of the Sync and Slide apps gives me a positive outlook here!
Staying here. I run the OSR and Chiptune communities. Can't leave now.
I don't need Reddit.
I don't need Lemmy either, but I like it.
I'm never going back. I like Lemmy. I hope reddit dies a sad death. If Lemmy didn't exist, I probably wouldn't have left reddit. I see much higher quality content here.
Too late, my antenna dropped and my ears grew. I'm a lemmie now.
As long as it doesn't devolve into a cesspool of "those types" of people, I'll probably stay around. Discoverability does need to improve, though
This is my new home 😁
No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.
It depends on the content & communities I can find here and how well things function here. So far the lack of content I'm interested in has been my main issue with Lemmy, but otherwise it seems like a fine place to be.
I'll stay and hope it becomes my go-to Deddit replacement. I like the lack of karma, and the posts and comments seem of a higher quality.
Yes
Not sure but I will be staying on a federated reddit-like site. I'm more leaning towards this over kbin though.
Will I ever go back to Reddit? Even if hell freezes, no.
It's a no-brainer. I was an early addict of Usenet, and never found the same utility and community when everyone left for the bright shiny corporate sites (and usenet became harder and harder to access since it wasn't making any billionaires richer.) The Fediverse is what is needed to take the internet back. I just feel bad that it took me so long to start. I joined Mastodon in January and am a thousand times more active there than I ever was at the birdsite, because my account is growing and morphing to fit MY needs. The same will happen with Lemmy and Kbin, and I hope with peertube and all the others. I keep saying it...the Fediverse is what we should have been doing all along, rather than tolerating the billionaires because it was "convenient".
