Mostly. I paid for both rif and reddit premium. My subscription to reddit premium runs out in early August, so as a long as rif still works (mostly) I'll keep it on my phone's home screen next to Jerboa and alternative between the two.

That said, reddit has stopped allowing the porn subs to be accessed from third party apps, or at least from rif. I expect other restrictions to follow. So I expect I'll be getting of rif altogether in a month or so. Eventually rif for tildes (TIF?) will debut and I'm looking forward to that.

Already have 😏

I left during the blackout. I use reddit occasionally for specific questions I can't find anywhere else. It's a shit hole, but an old and useful shit hole.

[–] rschecht@lemm.live 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using Reddit about 60% less than before.

[–] Jacksachatter@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

I left Reddit during the blackout and haven’t looked back. I check in my sub once in a while to see what the new mod has done to it. Seems like he re-opened it. He is the first one that told me about the blackout lol, Trader!

[–] Gili@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.

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

I have a small userscript/style tweak to remove all input fields from reddit, so I'm still allowing myself to browse reddit in read-only mode on desktop, with no mobile access.

It's a gentle way to wean myself off. I'm still waiting for my GDPR data dump anyway, so I need to check reddit fairly regularly to be able to grab it when/if it arrives.

Yes, first week was kinda rough with lack of content, but it’s quickly getting better.

Haven’t logged into Reddit since they announced the API changes.

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

Haven’t gone back to Reddit since Apollo shut down. Given the way it’s now run I say “good riddance”. Hopped onto Lemmy since the Memmy app launched on iOS, and so far so good. I first joined Reddit in 2008, and Lenny has similar vibes now as Reddit did back then.

Who's Lenny. Kidding. Yes, I replaced Reddit at the beginning of June, when that little fucktard, u/spez, confirmed that he's not bending on the policy. Slowly nuked my account over the course of that month. ~~Lenny~~ Lemmy (friggin autocorrect hahaha what irony) is my new best friend.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Mostly because I got permabanned from Reddit about a year ago for making offensive jokes and trying to appeal a sub ban by using an alt account. Given what's happening now on Reddit, it seems I didn't lose much.

However, the fact that this site clearly states on its rules that it's not a free speech space means that it will never ever be as good as Reddit on its early years.

I was ready to leave Reddit last week, when my third party app stop working... but it doesn't stop and now, everytime i open Joey for Reddit i kinda wish it don't work anymore, cause i think why should i leave, if it works?

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

Besides the obvious difference in users, I'm finding it remarkably similar to Reddit. Time will tell if it catches on in popularity.

[–] elf@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Who's Lenny? I'm waiting for Sync.

[–] HikerAdam@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using both. I have a few communities I'm growing and I'm posting as much as I can.

Reddit still is obviously more active, but I'm noticing that business is picking up here lately. Once it turns into a 60/40 or 50/50 in which one is more active I'll make the jump full time to Lemmy.

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

Yes. I haven't gone back to reddit in a few weeks now.

[–] counselwolf@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Currently going back and forth because there are still some subreddits that don't have an active community.

Hopefully, soon most if not all niche I follow will have a dedicated community here.

Also, still waiting for a better mobile client (excited for boost for lemmy and relay for lemmy).

[–] LovelyA72@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Now I just wish Lemmy can come up in my Google search when I search for reviews. Right now that is still Reddit's territory and no Lemmy at all. Lemmy should really improve it's SEO to not only makes using it with search engines easier, it can also help new users discover this platform.

[–] peyotecosmico@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, between here and mastodon I got enough content

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

Edited my comments in reddit and left. And haven't logged back in since.

I like how you can feel the interactions and communities growing here.

Reddit --> Lemmy 4 me 2

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

All of my casual browsing is done now exclusively on Lemmy. If I look for an answer or an opinion that’s when I dip into Reddit.

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

Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it's better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.

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

This is my first acc on lemmy, so yes, I do want to move to... Lemmy

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.
