I've removed my Reddit account, including all comments, this morning. So I'm here to say!

Don’t make me go back there!

I'm on both, but I'll stop using reddit when I can't use sync anymore.

I'll return to reddit for as long as my rif app works, and spend that time proselytizing for lemmy

Lemmy all the way, all Reddit accounts I had since the Digg days have been deleted but not before I replaced all posts and comments with gibberish. Scorched Earth

Stay here, might be that I land on Reddit when googling stuff but I'll look for news, memes etc. here.

Staying here for sure

Will I switch back? Short answer is: no.

Long answer is: noooooooooooooooooo.

I'm likely going to stick with Lemmy regardless of how Reddit steers course. I love that it's "by the people," and I don't mind the smaller community.

Plus, I'm old enough now that I'm getting used to moving on to "the next" online community.

I plan to stay on Lemmy/Kbin and abandon reddit for the most part

Im staying here

Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.

I'll be using both - Reddit because of habit, and mostly to just lurk. I won't upvote/downvote or contribute anything - it can't be debated that it's still a treasure trove of knowledge. But I'll be actively contributing here on Lemmy for sure because I want this to be the next home :)

Both kinda, if RIF is gone I'll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.

I'm having fun here but will be glad to maybe have useful results for my obscure tech support googling again

Staying here for sure

My account on Reddit is almost 12 years old now, and I've been ready for a change, so while I'm not going to delete my reddit account, I'll certainly not be browsing it over the fediverse.

i'v been here less than 24 hours and am already making preparations to abandon my reddit account

just come back to reddit and tell people to move here guys. Other than that, just add reddit to google search to get better result, that's it. I wish lemmy will have better SEO in the future.

Being mostly a lurker it's going to depend mostly by the content.

But that's what I'm starting to like about Lemmy. Being in my 40s i've had my share of newsgroups, bulletin boards, forums,... And at the end Reddit.

A big plus is/was that nearly anything you can think of is on Reddit. But that's also the downside of it. You just don't know where to start sometimes.

That's great about Lemmy. You have instances where you can start and that can have a focus on specific topics. A tech instance, a science instance, a country instance,... You can just open the community lust there and see straight away what they have to offer.

It's like it's a mix of the old newsgroups with forums with Reddit.... I love it.

If things keep improving and growing the way they are I'll be staying. Will probably be inevitable that I'll end up on Reddit due to a Google search but I hope that as friction decreases higher quality contributors will continue to find a home here.

Now that I'm more comfortable with Lemmy, I'm enjoying it more. I'll probably browse reddit from time to time, but I'd like to make this my new home.

I'd also like to see what this place can be when everyone is talking about something besides reddit.

My only complaint thus far is the communities on separate instances I've subscribed to still say "subscription pending," so I can't see them on the mlem app.

Edit: Actually, it appears I can see them. The "subscribe pending" just seems to be some kind of error.

i plan on going on reddit to see if any communities are migrating, but I'm liking Lemmy a lot. only exception would be for r/askmechanics

I'm going to keep using Lemmy because I want it to succeed but reddit is pretty indispensable (for now) for finding answers to technical problems so I'll probably never fully leave.

That official app is never touching my phone though.

I'll mostly stick with Lemmy, since I don't plan to download the official Reddit app once that becomes the only option.

Just joined a few minutes ago, i used Mastadon before but didn't it like it, feels stiff (i never was a Twitter user) but this is easier to use since i have been using Reddit for a while, but i don't quite understand where i search for communities, what app do you all use?

I've already let Jerboa take Boost's place on my app bar, but I'm sure I'll keep using Reddit too until Boost ceases to function.

For me Jerboa just isn't there yet in terms of functionality, but I'm hoping it'll get there soon!

I will be using both for now.

I think the reddit controversy is overblown. As a private company they need to at least break even otherwise they won't be able to keep it online forever. That being said it sounds like there API pricing is unreasonable for no reason; though I am glad they have made an exception for accessibility focused apps and some moderation tools.

I am actually brand new to lemmy and the fediverse, it's something I am very glad exists though. It's the kind of open source project I think could be very beneficial to a lot of people. From what little I have seen so far it's very promising with a few rough edges.

P.s. also hoping they can work out a deal with Reddit Sync, otherwise I could be spending a lot more time here 😉

I have some helpful information posts saved for future use, which I'll try to archive if the subs they were on are up, but given some are now talking about extending the blackout and other users are deleting their posts, if the stuff isn't there I'm just going to stop using Reddit altogether. No sense prolonging the inevitable.

I'll mainly stay here and contribute content to Lemmy. But I'll probably go back for a few specialty subs. e.g. r/HFY

I'll stay here

I think I'm going to stick to Lemmy and use Reddit only to promote Lemmy. I've been created a few new communities here and will plug them to Reddit users.

Use both, cannot entirely abandon reddit just yet

Personally, while I've decided to stay off Reddit for the foreseeable future, I am gonna hop back on here and there to more or less finalize my stuff there. My "cakeday" is in a week or so, so I figure that's a good final day to say goodbye.

My soft timeline is to stay off for the year and see where things stand then.

Will be using both for now until more people jump ship
