Mostly. It helps that Voyager looks exactly like Apollo. I forget I’m on lemmy sometimes.

I dropped reddit and facebook. Don't miss them much.

[–] emptiestplace@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I think we should focus on quality and thoughtful discussion. I appreciate stupid memes too, but if it were up to me that would be secondary - even if overall popularity takes a hit.

Also, less concern over Reddit would be nice. I was there from the Digg exodus until the API drama, so I understand the change aspect quite well, but if genuine conversation is what matters to you, the correct people are here now.

Well, I dropped reddit because rif stopped working. Whether it was "for Lemmy" is kind of a "for now" thing. Something better comes along and I'm likely to migrate there (or use it in addition).

Haven't opened Reddit since the new API pricing dropped, Lemmy is doing fine for me so far!

[–] oyenyaaow@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago

technically, i dropped reddit for tumblr.....lemmy is a sometimes indulgences

[–] gianni@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

+1 left when RIF stopped working

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 years ago

Same here, for me it was when I saw how Spez was treating mods that I pulled out.

Also obligatory “Boost Gang 🙌”

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did. Used a tool that purged my entire history.

Yep. Cold turkey.

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.

Great works Spez you fucking dolt.

[–] Clearwater@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I got a Lemmy account with the main exodus, but my 3rd party Reddit app continued to work (though it slowly broke bit by bit) until just a couple days ago when it completely stopped working at all.

Now I've fully swapped off of Reddit and onto Lemmy.

Dropped reddit. Have been using Fediverse apps since.

[–] _Gr1zzel@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

I use reddit only 2-3 times a month since the kill of third party apps.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I did, it wasn't easy but I'm here.

[–] RavenFellBlade@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

When Sync stopped working on Reddit, I found kbin and Lemmy, and haven't looked back. Especially with Sync being on Lemmy. Reddit isn't worth the agitation anymore.

[–] Mojimbo54321@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I did I enjoy lemmy for what it is. Like any social media just block defaults you don't like and tune it to your own subscriptions an its fine.

[–] AccountMaker@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 years ago

I deleted my reddit account and browse lemmy daily. I do miss a few subs on reddit concerning ancient greece/greek and corvids, but it is what it is. I'm fairly satisfied with lemmy.

[–] Kevnyon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've not been able to stop using Reddit because quite simply, some subs never migrated and they are major subs for me, such as /r/hockey. I've been using it less for sure and I've used Lemmy more, especially with Sync now available, but only time will tell.

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

[–] npz@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

I did, I really just follow the sync app ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If they didn't pull that API bs for sync, I wouldn't be here. No regurtz on the move tho

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

[–] SYLOH@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'm still mostly on Reddit, but I've definitely cut down my participation. For example I stopped up/downvoting posts entirely. And haven't really been participating in askreddit / eli5

The post I've made are either mirrored, or limited to relatively obscure communities.

As for lemmy, still lurking, not quite ready to dive in.

1 here, occasionally I view an old post while troubleshooting something and a Reddit page has the answer. Always with an ad blocker and old Reddit though of course so Spez gets nothing from me

I have dropped it, approximately by 98%

I mainly browse Lemmy here with Sync for Lemmy, and when I want some more niche stuff I head up to Reddit with patched Sync for Reddit, so yeah, Sync is always with me.
