I just have to find some of my communities here then thats it.

95% at the moment in favour of ~~YNNEL~~ Lemmy, with the occasional need to check in at the other place for niche interests and sport forums (there's very little I've found in terms of pro wrestling, cricket and rugby discussions over here so far). As and when those communities develop over here, I'll ditch the other place completely.

Deleted my comments and account and now I'm here. Though Im kinda trying to get off social media and so I'm on lemmy sparingly. Trying to be more productive with my time.

My third eldest, Larissa, she was talking about this just last week. She is very smart, I’ll give her that, because she was the first in the family to go to university. And she passed with distinctions. So we’re all quite proud of her.

I prefer Squiggy

[–] Philo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I am but I'm not sure why everyone complaint of ads but still using Reddit doesn't just use Reddit Revancec?

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I browse through brave browser out of spite now hit after downloading Memmy I’ve found myself on Lemmy way more than Reddit. Also feel I contribute a lot more to conversations than I did on Reddit.

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Working on it for sure.

[–] meat_glue@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Already have.

[–] S3mI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

[–] ShlorpianMafia@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only ever go there to check the front page/news now. Lemmy is growing fast, but being decentralized, at the moment it's still easier to catch up on politics and world news using reddit.

[–] TGhost@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Would be easiers by subscribing to theses communities until they merge in one. You will see more subjects that interest you.

Until the merge, I have different accounts with different orientations.

Actually, if u don't do that, Lemmy is really "hazardous".

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

Mostly, yeah.

Yes, not sticking around while it slowly becomes a worse and worse user experience

I don't have any accounts in reddit anymore. I only browse reddit maybe for 5 mins a day now. I could block reddit without barely noticing at this time

[–] tiny_electron@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I uninstalled Reddit when Infinity died

I won't be able to fully replace it, I'm afraid. Not before communities gain the ability for their posts to not show up in high traffic feeds.

Some subreddits I follow have this set, but this is not yet implemented in Lemmy if I'm not mistaken. So a workable move to Lemmy for them is not possible at this moment.

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I haven't deleted anything on reddit, but I have not been back there since the protests began. The Fediverse is my new home and I am happy to be here.

[–] noisy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I think I accidentally opened reddit once, trying to get an answer from a google search. I'm done with Reddit.

I'll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.

So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.

[–] moonwalker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I haven't used reddit since I signed up for Lemmy.

[–] nic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

i still have a million things 'saved' on reddit i need to check out and there's that one niche sub i lurk that doesn't seem to want to migrate but other than that yeah this is it for me. lemm.ee + wefwef

[–] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No, because the niche subs aren't alive here.

[–] fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago
[–] schwim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Completely switched the day before 3d party access was monetized and crippled.

I abandoned Reddit entirely when Sync shut down. Beehaw and Lemmy at large seem like a (mostly) great place and I'm here to stay.
