No Stupid Questions

For me, there's not enough activity on here yet and still some subreddits that haven't got equivalents here.

I deleted my Reddit account after that idiot's comments about "landed gentry". Still trying to wrap my head around the fediverse!

I stopped using Reddit on the day of the blackout and I've been wasting my time with playing sudoku instead. I go on lemmy a few times a day because I switched out Jerboa on my RIF shortcut and I go on it out of boredom.

The challenge is that Reddit isn't just one community, it's a collection of lots of communities.

For stuff like random tech news and commentary, I'm already 100% happy with Lemmy. You don't need a huge community for people to post reviews of the latest gadgets and discuss them.

While I'm still boycotting Reddit, what I miss the most is some of the smaller communities, the ones that are only possible when you have millions of total users. Stuff like hyperlocal subreddits (there's not just one for my city, there's one for my NEIGHBORHOOD within my city), subreddits specifically for every one of my favorite TV shows, authors, and musicians, and subreddits for more niche topics I'm into like music theory or 3-D printing.

I'm trying to spend time on Lemmy hoping to build up the critical mass there. I'm starting with more mainstream topics that are likely to grow and attract a following, but what I'm really hoping for are the more niche ones.

As a Reddit refugee who had heard of Lemmy a few times and finally decided to check it out, pleasantly surprised. I think I'll be spending more time here. :)

I'm like many here. I used Reddit Is Fun for all my Reddit consumption. If that's gone, so am I. While I enjoyed Reddit, I'm not opposed to the idea of changing it up with Lemmy even if it is different. Different is good actually! If you've been on Reddit for long enough you'll see that it's just the same questions, posts, and comments over and over.

Slowly learning the INS and outs of it. Currently hybrid reddit and now Lemmy. Once my reddit app stops working I'll stop visiting the site.

I haven't used Reddit for a week already

The only thing I look at on reddit now is save3rdpartyapps for updates, and check my 3rd party app subreddit from news from the dev hoping he announces a Lemmy app.

This is coming from someone with a severe reddit addiction where minutes couldn't pass without opening the app lol. 13 year old account.

Thanks for curing my addiction spez!

Joined today and I'm loving it so far. Hopefully it is herento stay.

That's me! I deleted all my Reddit content and I didn't look back. I miss some communities, but I'm sure they Will get replicated here sooner or later.

I started on Lemmy a few days ago and I've been on Reddit twice so far, decreasing my usage as I use Lemmy more. Mostly to re-familiarize which subreddits I used to visit the most to see if Lemmy has a community for that. No matter what, I'm deleting everything July 1st so I won't be going on after that.

Oh definitely. I've been on a continuous Lemmy/kbin binge since Friday. This place is way more enjoyable than reddit because:

• Your voice matters. People actually upvote and reply!
• There is no karma! One less thing to obsess over (though you can see how many posts/comments a user has made).
• The content is much more interesting and reminiscent of the early days of Reddit.
• Maybe I'm too nerdy but I like how clean the site is.
• There is absolutely zero commercial interest across the entire lemmyverse and it's awesome. You can talk to actual people and have fun!
• It feels magical that there are all these different Lemmy and kbin servers and you can see people from 10 instances talking to each other in the same thread.

I'm still using Reddit more when I'm on my phone. I haven't been able to log in on my phone, for some reason. Tried everything I can think of.

We'll see what happens when Apollo goes down though. Probably won't spend much time on Reddit after that.

I will as soon as the new post thing gets sorted, unless I'm on a community I can't sit on a page for more than 30 seconds without new posts popping in and losing my spot. This is the only thing keeping me from switching fully, and it appears there's a fix ready just not pushed out yet from what I can tell.

After 10 years on reddit, it wasn’t easy at first (at first being just the threat of apps not working). And I wasn’t sure where to go: Mastodon, Discord, Lemmy, etc. But as the communities grew, content increased, and I even found similar groups in the fediverse, I’ve been spending more and more time on Lemmy, and much more certain this the right direction.

10 year reddit user just shy of 150k post karma and I've left and won't be going back. I fucking hate capitalist bullshit. There's trying to make a sustainable company and then there's abject greed.

That and reddit caught a bad case of the dumbs 5+ years ago that it just can't shake.

I quit Reddit entirely and will not go back now I found lemmy. Took a little learning circle but I like it here

I’m enjoying it more than I thought

I deleted my reddit account and app after fucking spez ridiculed the blackout. Since then I've been on a discovery tour to fill the void. I've still caught myself going to reddit on desktop on occasion, but without an account reddit is truly garbage.

I'm working on transitioning over. I mean all the subreddits I follow are hard to just replace on a whim but slowly I'm getting there. Probably gonna download one of the phone apps for lemmy too.

Right now its hard because you are going from a site with a lot of people posting all the time, and here its a lot fewer people contributing.

I check back in periodically, but I'm making an effort to participate on here as much as possible. Loving it so far. Yeah, there are still a few kinks to be worked out, but overall the transition has been seemless to me.

The biggest issue I have come across is trying to wrap my head around instances and how to browse what where.

I dowloaded Jerboa and started on lemmy.world, and when I found out about all the others instances and different sites to browse and subscribe to.

Im sure with some more time, I'll get a handle on it.

I only use reddit through Relay third party app, once it is gone, I cannot use reddit anymore, reddit without it is so bad that it is same to jump to Lemmy. So I am adjusting now and just using Lemmy/Jerboa.

This site is super janky, when I load All, it just keeps adding new posts and moving things I'm reading. Hot doesn't bring up the most popular posts, but how do I filter for that? I am just filtering by most commented for now.

I'll keep using it, after all, if the experience is worse, I'll use it less which is actually a plus. And as a substitute, it is enough to keep me off Reddit. But it is categorically worse, even if it did have all the same content.

Yeah I don't use Reddit much anymore. I made an account in Lemmy and cut down maybe 95% of Reddit, though I've tried not to replace the time in Lemmy but instead just do anything else. Actually it has been working surprisingly well.

I think I'll set up RSS feeder at some point and cut down it even further.

I'm kinda half and half right now. Waiting to see what happens when the new API pricing goes into effect.

As of now, yeppp

I haven't been on Reddit for a bit now. I think more people will switch when July 1st hits.

I'm very much treating Lemmy like the old BB forums days (I know they are still around but most people just made subreddits for those type of communities). Its kinda fun seeing small communities spark up, and trying to help them grow.

I have used reddit, but so far its mainly been to check my old post history and such, try to mirror some of the communities I was following there.
