I have half replaced Reddit with the Fediverse and half replaced it with this exciting new discovery I made of this thing called called IRLβ’.

I'm mostly using Lemmy, but I still use reddit for some things where the lemmy communities are too small (like live sports discussion). If I'm googling for an answer to something I'll still include 'reddit' in the search because there is a huge wealth of info in past reddit threads.
Reddit has become so bad lately that I am trying to. Still a few smaller communities I am missing though sadly.
Yes. Trying at least; (imo) Lemmy hasn't quite got the critical mass yet. The official Reddit app is so crappy that each time I find myself being drawn back in, I leave really quickly. I didn't expect me to find it that bad.
Yep! 100% since Sync shut down. There's enough content here already to keep me engaged though not for as long as I'd scroll on Reddit. But watching new communities pop up and grow is fun!
Yes, like many many others. For me, Baconreader was Reddit. Once that stopped working, I left Reddit.
I wonder how many people have 1st July as their Lemmy "cake day".
I've fully stopped using Reddit. Lemmy seems great, apps are rapidly improving, and the userbase is growing. What more do we want?
I'm currently about 90% Lemmy, 10% Reddit for general topics, mostly still hanging on to Reddit for specific games that I haven't found out here yet.
99% so far. I rarely open Reddit at all aymore.
Not really. I stopped using Reddit and even though I am using lemmy it so far hasnβt been a true replacement. Overall my engagement has gone down hill significantly. I might check lemmy once or twice a day. I used to be on Reddit all day. Ultimately this is better for me overall. Even if I wanted to there just isnβt enough content for lemmy to be a replacement for my Reddit usage.
Iβm here 99.9999% of the time
I deleted my reddit account (and all my content beforehand) so yeah...still looking around for matching communities though.
Gradually, I hope. At the moment there are too many communities missing. Mods of Subreddits need to move here.
now that you mention it, I realize I've not been there since ... may be a week or two.
Stopped reddit, now mostly lemmy and a bit of kbin.
I have. Always used Sync to browse Reddit, and since it's not working anymore, I'm not using it either.
I left Reddit when I lost Apollo. I miss my drama subs thoughβ¦
Yeah I refuse to use their app and I want nothing to do with them. So while they had some nice subreddits, I will learn to live without them.
Partially yes, partially no. It depends on the use case.
If I'm looking to idly scroll random content, sure, it's great!
For online community, definitely. Given the open disregard that Reddit Inc leadership has shown towards the community, developers, and volunteers who keep the show running, I don't feel comfortable contributing there anymore.
If i'm looking for specialized information on a specific topic, definitely not. Google Search + site:reddit.com still reigns here.
I mostly used reddit on desktop (old.reddit.com) so it shouldn't have made much difference to me, but boy, it did.
Ever since that API paywalling fiasco and mod rebellion, the overall quality of content has nosedived catastrophically. Just one look at r/all or r/popular would be enough to convince anyone.
I've completely left reddit and settled on Lemmy, just like most people here.
I've only accessed reddit once since RIF died, just to see what r/all looked like. Not interested in returning tbh. I'll join the smaller communities on Lemmy or make my own.
Simply yes. Not going back
Already have. If nothing else, I'm already hit with the nostalgia of old reddit before it became so corporate focused.
Lenny is dead, replacing him with George.
(But yes, switching to Lemmy from Reddit π)
I've pretty much completely left Reddit since Apollo shut down. I'm happy with Lemmy, so far, except I'm honestly getting tired of the somewhat elitist attitude and fear/anger towards anything that isn't in the fediverse. I noticed it when I left Twitter for Mastodon too, and it's kind of getting old.
I'm not saying some of what's being said isn't justified, it's just not what I feel like seeing every time I open the app/site.
I refuse to install the official Reddit app, so only Lemmy on the phone. Which was probably 90% of my Reddit usage.
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, so I haven't logged on old.reddit.com in a while.
Still have my account, just in case, but I've pretty much migrated at this point.
Absolutely. Deleted account.
not yet. because Lemmy is still quite small tbh. But, the thing is Since Reddit new API policy starts, my Reddit home feed filled with spam,bots and double posts from many subs. So, if this problem overwhelms my home feed. I might move to Lemmy permanently.
I've already deleted all of my posts and edited the comments to "FUCK YOU u/spez". I didn't delete the account because the little cunt has a reputation for editing user's comments, I'm just gonna mass edit them from time to time to be sure.
I even changed out the email with an alias one literally saying "fuckyouspez@..." and that fucker hasn't banned me yet.
I already have. I deleted all my Reddit posts and comments and deleted my account the other day. I'm all on the Lemmy train now.
