I’ve been strictly here and 4chan

I havent deleted my reddit account, but Im using reddit a lot less now

I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.

For browsing I have converted to Lemmy. For getting answers from a Google search I still click on the Reddit option. Lemmy doesn't show on a Google search and other forums are useless for information. Minus stack overflow.

So far this year I have gone Twitter -> Mastodon and now Reddit -> Lemmy. Not all the people/subs I used to interact with have moved, but I don't miss them - well maybe some of the games subs but I'm sure at some point they'll appear. In general more than happy with the move :)

Not entirely. There's a couple larger subreddits I enjoy and tbh it's still my go-to for doomscrolling.

However my desire to interact with reddit couldn't be any less. Zero desire to post or comment anything due to the sheer hostility of the site to it's users.

I think if lemmy continues to grow in userbase it could completely replace reddit, but not at this immediate moment.

Yes, I am now 90% on Lemmy - the new Memmy app for my iPad is close to Apollo-quality and Liftoff on my Android phone (S21) is “almost” as good as Sync for Reddit was.

For Reddit, I am using RSS feeds only to browse for any posts that interest me - I am trying to not give them traffic if at all possible.

The content on Lemmy is getting better every day!

Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.

I have replaced it as my active site,

So there is still stuff that's more active on reddit, like football news, but I am now just a lurker there I don't contribute I just read if there is an update then if it's relevant I post it from there to Lemmy, so we can start building a community here.

No. I did.

Nope I'm replacing with Lemmy. 😝

I made it cozy already at Squabbles.io, but I'm giving Lemmy a try. Since Joey still works I do browse Reddit now and then.

I'm about a week clean now, content has been really good

Yup.

What people should be aware of and spread awareness of the fact that Reddit did not become popular in a day, week or month. Secondly the content that makes reddit valued comes from the users, the community and that can be reproduced and continued at Lemmy.

I pretty much replaced Reddit with Lemmy, and might even delete my Reddit account at some point. I think I'm not visiting this website often enough, but that's because it's not as tantalizing as Reddit, especially on web. But I do want to visit this place more often. I don't want to miss out on what's happening.

I think nobody would start a new community on Reddit, just makes sense to build something new on a Lemmy instance 🔰

These things do cost time and money and the security code still needs to be written in blood, but it'll be fun.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted or ignored, but I am not replacing Reddit with Lemmy. I'm using them both, except on my phone. There, I no longer use Reddit due to the need for the official app.

Lemmy has done a great job in a short time and it has a lot of awesome energy, but it doesn't have the user base to support interesting discussions in niche subjects that I care about, or be a source of information in those. I doubt it ever will, although I'm rooting for it.

If I scroll through Lemmy in my subs or in c/all, I see three things:

• Memes
• Anti-Reddit brigading
• Shitposts

I love me some memes, and Lemmy is actually better than Reddit right now for those, but if I want information, I can't get it on Lemmy. I might be able to get tech news, but I have RSS / Hacker News / Slashdot for that.

As an example, I'm switching from Evernote to Obsidian for note-taking and it's a pain in the ass. Reddit has an 80k user subreddit for Obsidian, where within 10 minutes, somebody solved my problem. That kind of thing is never going to happen on Lemmy.
