Already did replace it with Lemmy several months ago.

Yes. I am pissed at Reddit with the whole API shitstorm and because of this I found out about the Fediverse, went down the whole Lemmy/Mastodon/Pixelfed rabbit hole and couldn't be happier.

I'm trying to, but I miss NSFW content here

As long as my synch for reddit version works I dont see myself leaving reddit.

I'm sussing out Lemmy as a replacement. I still go to Reddit but I've pretty much stopped all interactions other than just reading . Reddit has now become a place to fill the blank time in my day between the times I'm busy. Hopefully Lemmy will become a replacement soon than later.

[โ€“] Senuf@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Even when many niche communities are still there, I prefer to bet on Lemmy and its growth instead of supporting what was once great and now is only an ego megatrip for Spez and his overgrown ambition and greed.

Here it feels nice and cozy. I like it a lot. And also, the developers of my two favourite Reddit apps will soon unveil their apps for Lemmy (same name even). Check soon for Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy.

Yup, even if Lemmy lacks in content it's general plus in my book, no mindless scrolling, have time to touch the grass etc

Didn't delete my account or anything, but fuck them

Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

A mix between hacker news and Lemmy

[โ€“] SighBapanada@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, I am and I have. I have up my reddit account a month ago.

[โ€“] Tag365@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

I've replaced all discussion on Reddit with Lemmy. I still browse Reddit due to it still having some communities with content I still have to access such as Jumpchain and modding Elder Scrolls.

[โ€“] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I don't really use Reddit any more.

This made my day ๐Ÿ˜‚

They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug

[โ€“] Leilys@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I'm looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It's kind of hard to search if something's been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I've also tried Jerboa and Connect)

Maybe one day, maybe it's using Connect but it seems like no matter what filter I use I keep seeing the same posts (and the majority of it about reddit) so I've definitely added it into my rotation, but doesn't quite feel like it's enough yet.

I never used Reddit before this, I didnโ€™t really like the idea of using Reddit. But now I can use Reddit without actually using Reddit.

[โ€“] Boldizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, was a loyal Sync For Reddit user. Wasn't sure how I was going to cope to be honest but Lemmy has been great so far.
