TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.
100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now
I went all in on Lemmy and honestly am having a better time than I did on Reddit.
If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.
I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.
Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...
I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.
Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.
Yes
Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.
Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.
But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.
They can they just deliberately chose to make it shitty.
Happens at the governments, happens at the companies.
I work in some IT projects with like 20-30 people and literally 3-4 of us would be enough. Same thing is probably happening at Reddit.
I can't imagine how many managers, Devs, offshore etc are involved in that shitty Reddit app that is 100 times worse than Infinity, Boost and many more Reddit 3rd party apps.

Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.
I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.
This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.
I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.
Yes I am
I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
Trying to
with my 3rd party app of choise diem my reddit usage so no more reddit for me
I came here before June 15th and Lemmy seems more alive every day. I only ever used Reddit's official app but I haven't been back since the API changes took place.
Yeah
I'm trying, but there are a lot of people and communities who don't follow. The corporate are just too powerful at the moment. Like Facebook's new Threads is replacing Twitter, instead of Mastodon. Here in Finland Mastodon had it's moment and people were migrating to that, but I dunno.
How do you find your favorite community? Can't anything yet. I'm using connect on Lemmy.world. every search ends up with nothing much.

Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
