If RIF goes, I don't see myself spending any meaningful time on reddit. We'll see if I stick around here.

I'm here for good. Yes it will take some time to get the lay of the land but, I'm already confident this will become a much better home for me.
I'm definitely here to stay. One among many. And not for a kind of reddit bis. For what's different from reddit here.
Although err.. Well, I'm glad there's an anarchychess community here. Don't ask me why, but it's almost a metaphysical experience for me.
When I saw they were here, I knew I was staying.
There wasn't much to Reddit when it first started. Users built it over the years, including myself. I'd love to see Lemmy do the same, but it'll take work and commitment. Should it happen to become as large, I do wonder if it will eventually face the same woes as Reddit.
It shouldn't, provided people don't just pile into single instances and spread themselves out.
Also Support your local instance provider.. ask them if they have a patron or something you can donate to. These servers aren't cheap to run, and the more people and on an instance, the more money it takes to keep up on the upkeep.
In the end due to the lack of ads, someone must front the costs, and with no angel investors (I mean I don't want angel investors all over my fediverse, do you?) it's gotta be us.
I will probably use both reddit and lemmy. But as long as I can't use a third party app for reddit, I will use it a lot less. And the better lemmy gets, the more I will use it vs reddit.
I'll stay. I've been looking for a reason to move off reddit for a long time. But there didn't seem to be a non political based exodus, until now. The TD stuff and voat seemed too political charged and only people of a certain political leaning left. As a result voat and the others were just all about American politics. This feels much more across the board, and so far I'm loving the Lemmy community.
I think there needs to be more communities so I can really leave reddit. Also not for sure about the messaging option on here.
At this point I am not interested in going back.. the way they have treated the community they can suck it. I think some people that have not "migrated" platforms before may feel uneasy but this place feels pretty familiar. We just have to give it some time.
I'll be staying. Lemmy does what I used Reddit for fine enough, which is aggregate news links about various topics I'm interested in and provide a platform to discuss said topics with like minded people. The community is smaller, nicer, more personable too. Overall I'm enjoying it a lot. Some glitches and bugs to work out but nothing platform breaking. Can't wait to see how Lemmy progresses along! And Kbin, I made an account there today and have been checking it out too. I like Lemmy's UI a bit more, while Kbin has a lot of cool features Lemmy doesn't. We'll see how it shapes out but I'll be here for the ride.
Already cleared my comment history and deleted my reddit account. I'm here for good. It's pretty clear to me that federated content and social networks are the future of aggregated news sites like Reddit.
I have been permabanned from both reddit and twitter so i'll stay here
I haven't deleted my account yet, but I'm in no hurry to go back. I'll go back if I see some change (in any case I'll also be here, it's cozy)
I tried lemmy a little, there's not much content yet. It really depends on if the major power users migrate to lemmy, and on which instance they will migrate. The other problem being that I have yet to find a good mobile app to access the lemmy instances, and I'm too lazy to make my own (though it would be a good side hustle in my opinion).
Use the mobile web and Desktop ui. get used to it so when the apps come you will be a pro at it. Give it a good day
Deleted my accounts and all post/comment history as well. I'm fully Lemmy only now.
I'm staying. Feels more like how Reddit was at the beginning and how it should've stayed.
Planning on sticking around! I'm losing RiF and Jerboa seems to work well enough; hopefully it continues to improve as the platform continues to get more popular. I'll likely still check on Reddit for certain communities as they develop here, but otherwise I'm digging Lemmy and would love to see it grow!
wait, how can we wipe our post history?
There are tools out there, I'm using a script for Tampermonkey whose name is escaping me right now.
Staying for sure, I really like it here.
I'm intending to stay, barring poking in and seein if there's any extra niche communities that could fit at home here (there's a good few cat ones), I wiped my accounts and am currently waiting on a data request export. Once I can get that then I'm wiping my accounts and not turning back.
I'm staying
