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.

Not by itself, no.
My current replacements for reddit are:
- A kbin account for serious-posting
- This Lemmy account for the shitposting (and for communities on lemmy.ml which blanket bans all kbin instances)
- Tildes.net for the extra-serious-posting
- (Eventually) an RSS reader
- Libreddit and a redirector extension for search results
I personally prefer to keep my shitposting from my serious-posting and I also wanted to see what kbin was like, so it kinda worked out well enough (aside from .ml)
Yes, but I also use Squiggy too
I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.
No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.
just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.
Im so happy I found this place
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 :)
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.
RIF user for over a decade, Reddit is dead to me. Haven't looked back.
I did! To be honest I started to use Mastodon much more, but whenever I want to go back to old Reddit vibes, itβs Lemmy only
Sure do.
I love the idea behind a decentralized discussion-world!
I'm trying to ser up my own Lemmy, but damn, it is hard sweating!
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.
Iβve been strictly here and 4chan
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 βalmostβ 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!
Yes I'm here to join the lemmings
Slowly but surely. I can no longer check porn subs on Joey for Reddit so I might try to accelerate the migration.
For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that's pretty much it.
I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.
Yes. I used both for a while but Reddit got quiet and no point in using Reddit without the apps.
Sucks for videos and gifs though. I don't want to click a blind link to see a gif or video
Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, havenβt used it since
Yes. I stopped using Reddit during the blackouts and havenβt turned back. Lemmy so far has been a good replacement in all ways. Fuck spez!
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
Yeah, deleted RIF early and just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll probably use it if a useful answer pops up on Google, but not for scrolling.
Lemmy and Threads will have to fill the gap for now, but if they grow I don't see a problem at all.
I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.
Iβm fully on Lemmy now except when I need to find historical information - for example episode discussions from a TV show or how to fix computer issues, etc.
So far yep! Why not?
Reddit has no loyalty to me so why should I have to it?
Ultimately I just want some interesting useless funny shit to look at. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
This is my first Lemmy comment ever!
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
Please dont tell anyone how I live
Well, this is nice, hello
Other than some specific subs, yes
Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement
