I dropped Reddit, but I'm still not 100% into Lemmy. To put it another way: Reddit was a pinned tab, as is Mastodon, webmail, Qobuz, and a whole bunch of other essentials. Lemmy is unpinned and gets looked at briefly every 2-3 days.
+1 left when RIF stopped working
I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died
Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died
I did, I really just follow the sync app ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If they didn't pull that API bs for sync, I wouldn't be here. No regurtz on the move tho
I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.
Left after I found lemmy
I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now
I almost left reddit years ago after one of their constant BS things but the API one was the last straw. They lost 4 relatively active accounts when I left. It has been great watching the communities on the fediverse grow.
I've only gone back to Reddit when Google lead me there. Otherwise, I'm here.
I kept Infinity installed until it finally stopped working. In the last few weeks, there was basically nothing good on Reddit anyway so I'm ok with dropping it.
I'm hoping more people come to Lemmy and we get lots of content here!
🙋🏻♂️
technically, i dropped reddit for tumblr.....lemmy is a sometimes indulgences
Another +1
I haven't fully gave up on Reddit. There are communities that are still active over there but not here. However, I am still pretty optimistic that Lemmy will take off eventually. Reddit had been in the same situation as Lemmy right now when they were just in their beginning!
For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.
I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.
Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?
When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.
Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.
I thought this was going to be more of polling post.
Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.
I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.
Dropped it and haven't looked back.
I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.
Got suspended with no explanation from a heavily used professional sub...asked for an explanation and was banned/ suspended (2 different accounts) Appealed ban, ask for explanation...nothing, just more ban/suspensions. ....deleted 2 accounts, ridiculous.
I did so that's at least one.
Me but reddit comes up in searches and I still have to go to it for things like local postings and gaming stuff
I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.
I did.
I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.
I dropped reddit and I don't really use lemmy that much either
Me
Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.
It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.
