I actually caved in and remade a reddit acccount, yeah i feel dirty about it but i really mised the most niche comunities, specially the monster hunter one since the one thats here is more inactive than active. Though interactions are pretty terrible since the first coments i posted got downvoted and now im on negative karma and anytime i try to comment after that i get ignored. I think that account was shadowbanned so ill probably delete it and make a new one, but is not that important since i like to lurk more than interact with reddit since the discourse there is becoming more 4chany but without the with and censored af.

I will also mention that i made second one strictly for nsfw browsing on reddit, since the nsfw comunities on lemmi are surprisingly prudish on certain fetishes. Now im not into the most extreme shit but i really dont like that they dont allow certain stuff thats perfectly legal on the normal nsfw instances, like CNC is just a form of roleplay, why is it banned? But trans and femboy shit isnt with their whole penis chastity cages, they have plentyfull suply of that. Im not into neither of those fetishes and i dont kinkshame the lgbtq shit, but the only option to see shit thats not allowed (like cnc) would be to go to the extreme nsfw instances that thend to host legaly dubius shit like straight up real rapes and other stuff of the same variety that i rather not mention, and nobody whants to see that nor be exposed to it, so i rather go to reddit for porn, at least they dont kinkshame and i wouldnt be in danger of being put on a watch list.

Only for the porn.

It depends on your definition of "dropped." Most people who moved from Reddit to Lemmy don't fall into the category of deleting their account and switching over 100%, rather Lemmy has filled the role of Reddit for most but not all of their browsing.

I check in on reddit every once in a while via the app called Comet. It's definitely gone back to it's usual self but it feels more impersonal than ever now that I use Lemmy too.

I'm gonna say it's at least three

My app worked as I was mod of my own sub. Few weeks ago that stopped working, and I haven't opened reddit since

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did but it's been increasingly tempting to go back due to the site's reredesign (which i think is actually really good) and the lack of activity related to my interests on Lemmy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did but I only get on here to kill time at work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I look at Reddit on Desktop and I use Lemmy on mobile.

For years I have rallied against the dark forces working to consume Reddit's glorious mission statment but the minor inconvenience of a subpar app was just too much!

While I'm still in the process of closing down my Reddit account due to having a lot of useful saved posts. A big thing that has helped my switch is the my favorite Reddit client infinity got forked( or repurposed by the dev. I'm not sure which) into a Lemmy version called eternity, so the move in terms of app familiarity has been almost seamless. I do find quality posts and content in general is on a much smaller scale on here, but that has actually been a good thing for me as I now spend a lot less time on social media.

Reddit is such a shitshow now, I'm considering keeping my old account only to add fuel to the fire by insulting idiots. Let's burn the whole thing to the ground.

Reddit is PC only using the old site. But I've been using it much less now despite most of my usage was on PC already. I much prefer Lemmy on my PC and Summit on mobile now.

No. Everything from zero to everyone here may still use Reddit in parallel.
Personally, I use kbin exclusively now.

I have not fully dropped lemmy but I still use it to check out the latest (tech and tech related) news. Lemmy is good at that aspect these days.

Not 100% but like 95. Still go to Reddit for a couple niche subs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I still look at Reddit daily. There's insufficient niche content here for it to be a reddit replacement unless you're only into memes, linux, or radical left politics. I'll be happy to make the switch complete when there are communities active enough to replace the ones on reddit.
