No Stupid Questions

I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

Fuck /u/spez

i have not been back since the blackout started.

I made an account on both kbin.social and Lemmy and use jerboa to browse Lemmy on mobile.

I haven't been on reddit in a week, and have deleted my account so on the occasions that I do end up there I won't be adding to their content or participating.

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

I went cold turkey on Reddit when my app died yesterday. I haven't used reddit on desktop since like 2013 so no problem there.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

I'm enjoying doomscrolling through the drama on Reddit but I'm enjoying the community over here more. I know the inevitable it's coming (RIF user) but now it's a much less bitter pill to swallow.

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I delted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a reddit link I access it throigh the way back machine.

Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

I deleted everything Reddit related and haven't been there since. I even avoid Reddit related search results.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

Had my reddit account (rif) for 10 years. Slowly migrating (this is my first comment) and so far think it has lotsa potential.

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

I have, 7 days clean off Reddit.

I don't scroll through Reddit but scroll here instead. Not as much as leaps out at me as it used to but at the same time I am glad it's more focused and less shitposting.

Haven't deleted my account, see no reason to. But for sure, my account will show next to little activity, no commenting, no login, nothing.

I'm just a commenter unfortunately, never been much of a poster and contributer. More into the comment discussions!

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

Full time Lemmy, using Jerboa app on my phone and just lemmy.world on desktop. Haven't gone back to Reddit other than vote for the funny polls to reopen subs.

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

Well I am now. Now that Slide quit working. I was looking at both. I still can see Reddit in my browser at home but this was a nice kick in the pants to make me really focus here at lemmy.

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

I'm just getting used to it and adapting, but I'm liking it.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

I've 100% abandoned reddit. The site outlived itself and it's beyond time for something new. I left Digg several weeks before it collapsed and it sure fells similar to reddit today. It just isn't worth visiting and hasn't been for years now.

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

i am here to browse less, and engage more. I hope to spend about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I did on Reddit, as everyone's time is finite. I am not going back after browsing through the communities, which I think will grow in time.

Engagement is key

About a week since i read or posted on Reddit.

Reading Christian's rebuttal was genuinely shocking to me and I decided I didn't want to continue supporting Reddit's management by being associated with it.

I demodded myself (sole moderator of a 13 year old sub, plus another two smaller ones), deleted all my many thousands of posts and comments and stopped using it.

I'm planning on deleting my 11 year user with a lot of karma on the 1st to join the protest then (I need to revisit to check that's still happening)

I have quit Reddit but struggle to spend the same amount of time on Lemmy as I would Reddit. I guess it’s just because there was no app offers the same browsing experience as Apollo.

Edit: found wefwef and boy does it feels just like the native Apollo app

Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.

Full time Lemmy right here. There's only a handful of subreddits that I am missing, but I'm sure clones of those subs will make it here eventually.

I've spent FAR more time on kbin than I have reddit since the blackouts. I know the Relay app will be gone at the end of the month, so I figured I'd get a jump on trying to get used to another platform. I refuse to be forcefed ads, so there is no other option for me with reddit as a mobile user.

I've entirely switched over to Lemmy. Deleted everything I had on reddit. I hope all subreddits that participated in the strike change their subreddit permanently to something else, instead of getting overthrown. Ie, /r/steam was about Steam, the PC platform. It's now for steam enthusiasts.
