Really? I left on blackout day and haven't been back. I thought that was normal.

Mostly use it as quora now. Google takes me there, i don’t always remember to use cached version
I used RIF up until the moment it stopped working. Literally reading posts, refreshed and... nothing.
I'm not deleting my account purely because I hope that they realise they are burning down the house to stay warm and reverse course. There were some great niche subs that just arent here yet.
What? It was the easiest move I've ever made. Deleted a 13+ year old account. I'm loving it here. Fuck Reddit.
I didn’t want to leave any of my content behind, because deleting your account still leaves all your content up. That took a while because I had to fix some bugs in an OSS tool so I wouldn’t need to delete tens of thousands of posts and comments by hand. The script took days to run with a 2s rate limit.
IMO, it’s pretty creepy that they try to keep your content when you request a GDPR deletion. That stuff could contain pii and they should be required to delete it, too.
I haven’t been back since. No Apollo is as good as no Reddit, as far as I’m concerned.
Really? I’m struggling to find good communities. Seems like mostly old memes and political articles. Any recommendations?
I sold my accounts after I deleted 99% of my comments manually. Got $1400 for 3 accounts that were 10+ years old with 20,000 or so karma. Even lurker accounts are worth money if they're old enough
Let's be realistic. Reddit have years of post and discussion saved who are very useful for research. So the answer is simple, use Reddit as a Wikipedia and Post new content here or on any other free platform. (Well technically new. Some meme i saw here are older than me 😅).
I deleted my Reddit account when I moved to Lemmy, but I do go back to Reddit if a Google search leads me there. You’re right, the wealth of knowledge remains there but I no longer wish to participate in the conversation there.
16 years on Reddit and probably waiting the last 10 for a decent alternative. It wasn't hard at all. I do go back sometimes to debunk Lemmy FUD though.
I just want a little more content in my feeds.
It’ll come, Lemmy is growing steadily. In the meantime, be the change you want to see and help produce content
Yeah, I'm pumping out as much as I can. I only really lurked on Reddit, so it's a new experience.
Same here, I still don’t create new posts much but I’m definitely commenting more often, which I hardly ever did on Reddit. It feels like conversations are more real on here, and less gets lost in the noise of thousands of comments per thread
I've noticed that commenting on posts without comments seems to trigger more comments. So I'm focusing on those.

And I just want a little less of my PII on reddit's servers.
Pentium II or RPi II?
I'm at the point where I don't notice a difference. The content here is higher quality so I get more out of it. It took me quite a while to subscribe to all the communities I wanted though.
For someone who's into niche tech stuff, I found myself going back to Reddit from time to time when I'm looking for info. I wish this isn't the case.
I haven't gone back once.
Good try spezz, just go home
Reddit since 2008, the instant I found out I couldn't access certain subs I deleted my account and the app. I ain't no Isildur, bitch. Lemmy4lyfe!
The only subreddit I still go to is for my local city/metroplex. The moment enough people from my area are on Lemmy to where I can keep up with local events and views here is when I'm done with Reddit forever. It'll happen eventually but it'll probably be a few more years.
This and the nursing sub are the only two things on Reddit I still check, only like twice since my migration to kbin
After all, why not, why shouldn't I?
I still haven’t been back to Reddit since the switch. Even if everyone else goes back, I’m gonna stay here because this place is small and tight-knit. It reminds me of what Reddit used to be.
The only reason I haven't deleted it is that I have tons of saved bookmarks. Once I finish going over them I'll delete it.
I did delete all comments at least.
Holding on to my account until Reddit completes my GDPR "right to erasure" request, I check back in periodically just to get my mail and make sure the mods I've left behind don't need anything from me before I fizzle out of existence.
