Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.

Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.
The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.
Still sometimes visit Reddit for some of the communities that don't seem like migrating. Try to limit the time there to be very minimal, anyway.
But I don't think that wiping my data there would be a good thing, because posts/comments could be useful to others still. Maybe it would make sense to repost those here, and then remove 🤔
Yeah, I take regular breaks to go fuck around on 4chan from time to time and rather than come back for my seasonal reddit adventure, I chose Lemmy.
Basically a drop-in replacement. Does Infinity have support yet?

"docile alligator wants to continue relations with Reddit and make Infinity subscription based so he's obviously not going to do this himself (since that would definitely end relations with Reddit by breaking terms of service)."
Ughhh LAME
Who is Lenny?
I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.
I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.
Welcome!
For clients, https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/ has a good list.
For communities, you can use https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Starting the process… now!
Let's go! Welcome to lemmy
Yes I deleted my Reddit account a week before Apollo was dead.
Yup.
Yep, easiest choice ever and the tech behind Lemmy and activity pub is so cool
Yes
I wish but I couldn’t load the comments at the first place…
Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasn’t been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isn’t enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.
The community reddit had was really good. I hope it is replicated here. I wonder is there is a way to transfer some of the reddit data here?
I only post on lemming now
I pretty much did already, still check on 2 or 3 communities when I am front of a computer but I hope lemmy while become more active and I will not feel like I am missing out.
well yeah for the most part but it has been tough as some of my communities have are non existent here or little activity so i still go through old reddit and look at some subreddits.
I'm replacing Reddit with Lemmy.
Im using this ios app Memmy. It reminds me so much of Apollo. Now just need to give some so all the communities switch to lemmy. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memmy-for-lemmy/id6450204299
