I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.

I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.
Absolutely. Deleted account.
Iβm an Apollo refugee, just donβt want to support whatβs inevitably becoming another Facebook type place. Wasnβt sure how well I was gonna be able to switch over until I found the wefwef web app, itβs such a game changer and Iβm slowly getting used to how this works
Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.
Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.
I'm replacing reddit with my cousin Lenny
I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.
Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.
I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.
Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!
Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.
If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!
For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.
If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.
Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.
(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit π)
I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.
Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.
Definitely. I don't plan on downloading the official Reddit app anytime soon and for years I have been more of a lurker on Reddit but I am trying to break that and participate more on Lemmy. Really enjoying it so far.
Nope, it doesn't have the user base.. hopefully that changes but for right now, I'm using both.
Pretty much
I'm an old lady and I'm trying, it's a little hard to navigate though, so I would say I spend less time here than I did Reddit, but I am 10 days fully clean from Reddit after a month of weaning. I've also started getting up and moving around more throughout my work day and listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.
from my phone, i only have access to lemmy. in browser i access both, 50/50. there are 10 or so subs that i frequent on reddit, the rest i'm here. it's hard to let that account go because i put energy into building it and it's 10+ years old. i've been using it to track my journey in life. was planning on aggregating the data.
Iβm here 99.9999% of the time
jesssir, deleted all my reddit accs
There are only two subreddits I'm checking right now. One will be defunct when reddit shuts down that app. The other is a gaming subreddit where I'm not going to get the kind of discourse here that is there (yet). I can use their forums but...I like simplicity these days and having everything in one place is just easier.
I didn't remove my Reddit account yet, but I stopped using it as soon as I tried Lemmy. As I expected, it's not perfect, it still needs some love on the technical side, but people and content are already here. I'm pretty happy with my feed so far. I can only see it grow and getting better, but I guess we'll find out how the fight with spam bots will be.
not yet. because Lemmy is still quite small tbh. But, the thing is Since Reddit new API policy starts, my Reddit home feed filled with spam,bots and double posts from many subs. So, if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I might move to Lemmy permanently.
I've basically left reddit for good. There's some thing I miss there but in general Lemmy fills that void enough that I don't have the urge to go back anymore. If I end up scrolling less because of smaller amount of content then good.
Yup, and not just because of Reddit's CEO.
The culture here is better - people read and reply rather than just upvoting. It's a good place to help folks out, and be helped out.
Yeah. I'm just waiting for the subs that I was active at to grow here (mostly space-related subs).
Iβm on lemmy a lot but not all the communities that I frequent on Reddit moved or have enough people over at lemmy.
So far, so good , yes I like it just waiting for sync and boost for lemmy
Yep. The Reddit app Iβve been using no longer works so thatβs where it ends. I actually stopped using Reddit two weeks before the change even took place because I knew Iβd need time to readapt and get away from the platform. Iβm glad I did that. I havenβt opened it since.
Yes, fuck you spez
On mobile absolutely, the past few days has seen a considerable amount of activity bump up. I am logged in on a new lurker account on reddit, but that's only for wrestling news and a podcast sub of mine. Fuck All.
Just made the change, and I'm pleasantly surprised. Spent a bit of time looking for similar communities to the ones I subscribed to on reddit, and it's starting to feel like home again.
Probably will keep my reddit account handy, but I look forward to only consulting reddit when I must. For everything else, Lemmy seems to have everything I'm looking for!
no doubt. fuck reddit
