I still use both, I'll pop on Lemmy at the start and end of a day to see what is going on, but still use Reddit just because it has so much more content. Plus it's the "home" of several manga communities I can't find anywhere else except Discord, and I'm not a fan of Discord anymore due to the Skype-esque bloat. I did however delete all my comments and relegate my account to purely lurking status, nor do I upvote or downvote anything on Reddit as well.
Found out about lemmy through r/place, I was with a group allied with the join lemmy group. The group was encouraged to join lemmy.
Count me in.
There are dozens of us! Literally dozens!
Yep and I haven't missed it.
I did, and I like it over here better. Sometimes I look at a reddit post if it turns up in search, but otherwise I like the culture here better.
I did not dropped reddit completely, occasionally going in there through google searches but ever since the api fiasco I've never visited the site directly. I still haven't deleted my account but didn't used it since then and is planning to delete it. Lemmy does not have a lot of content and the niche communities compared to reddit. That is not a bad thing though and instead it had stopped me from mindless scrolling I picked up from using reddit.
I haven't posted or commented on Reddit since over a month, but I haven't deleted my account yet. I have consulted Reddit a few times since, notably when it showed up in the results for a question I was looking up, or to see the posts from the r/Askhistorians weekly roundup (of which I follow the RSS feed). While the way I've been using Reddit lately doesn't require an account, I'm unsure of whether I intend to delete mine; partly because if for whatever reason, I needed to post a question somewherebit will get a big audience, that's the biggest I can currently get, and partly because I don't want all my great posts and comments of the past to be lost to history...
I did! I only end up back there if I'm searching for something like a tech problem and reddit is the only place my particular issue was discussed.
I use it for one of the niche communities I usually went to. But other than that, I stopped voting other subs. So much rage bait and bigotry. It's only gotten worse since people started leaving. I just instantly go to the sub I want, check out some posts, which sometimes only take about a minute, and then leave.
Recently discovered revanced could patch boost and I'm back on Reddit.
After a few months on just Lemmy, I found too much of the content was about Linux, foss, and how much the internet sucks now.
left when Boost turned off, sticking with Lemmy.
I did that too and don't regret it ;)

I have used it for about 10 minutes in total since June. I used to use it a ton more.

Not all communities I want to follow made the transition. I'm still on Reddit for HFY, and some smaller game communities.
But Lemmy has replaced a sizable chunk of my Reddit usage, especially around more technical topics.

I'll follow a relevant search result, but I have not browsed it since coming over here.
This is actually an interesting question. First thing to note is that any estimation is by accounts, not by actual people (one person can have multiple alts on both). Honestly I don’t think it’s possible to have meaningful estimation.
That said, I think the first task is to figure out if we can estimate the number of accounts deleted on Reddit during the controversial period (let’s say April when the API change was starting) up til now.
I’m not aware whether there’s public daily data on it from Reddit, but there have been attempts at archiving reddit during this time and of course before. So one can theoretically use the archives to find out “all” existing users. And check the links now via browser (or curl) to see if they still exist, treat that as a good-enough proxy for deleted account.
One may get an estimate of when they were deleted by checking the links in the archives if possible. If not, there’s also Wayback machine that we may use to get a sense, but there are limitations of that.
Lemmy tracks account registration daily, I believe. I don’t know what stats one needs to run but maybe if we can line up the time series of account creation on Lemmy and account deletion on Reddit, we might have some sense of what a lower bound is for those who jumped ship forever.
i go through phases, around the blackout it was 100% lemmy, then like 25% lemmy, but lately i'm getting really fed up with reddit so it's like 90% lemmy
