Reddit

Mostly. It helps that Voyager looks exactly like Apollo. I forget I’m on lemmy sometimes.

lemmy publishes activate user data, im pretty sure most or all came from reddit, but no way to know how many still active there

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

I nuked my 10yo account. I was so pissed about the API thing. Sadly, I do still find myself on random reddit threads if I'm looking for some specific info though...it's just not as easy to search for relevant info through Lemmy. But I do love the community for what it is though.

I think if Reddit was really good, 90% of the people here would not have a good reason to use Lemmy. I was on Lemmy before the blackout & it wasn't great; had I plugged it then, many would be reluctant to switch. Now, it is amazing, and Reddit ensured that Lemmy got a nice influx of users to make that happen :)

I think we should focus on quality and thoughtful discussion. I appreciate stupid memes too, but if it were up to me that would be secondary - even if overall popularity takes a hit.

Also, less concern over Reddit would be nice. I was there from the Digg exodus until the API drama, so I understand the change aspect quite well, but if genuine conversation is what matters to you, the correct people are here now.

Me

Dyed in the wool sync user

I did, I really just follow the sync app ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If they didn't pull that API bs for sync, I wouldn't be here. No regurtz on the move tho

left reddit for good w/ a 50k sub I modded for over a decade. the best thing since: when modcodeofconduct tried to recruit replacements from the userbase, the users ignored them. the new mods are some randos, the subs are full of spam and garbage.

Great works Spez you fucking dolt.

I haven't fully gave up on Reddit. There are communities that are still active over there but not here. However, I am still pretty optimistic that Lemmy will take off eventually. Reddit had been in the same situation as Lemmy right now when they were just in their beginning!

+1 left when RIF stopped working

🙋‍♂️

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

The last sub I used a bunch was r/traa. I really had no reason to go back to Reddit once it shut down.

Now we have c/traa on Hexbear

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

I'm still mostly on Reddit, but I've definitely cut down my participation. For example I stopped up/downvoting posts entirely. And haven't really been participating in askreddit / eli5

The post I've made are either mirrored, or limited to relatively obscure communities.

As for lemmy, still lurking, not quite ready to dive in.

1 here, occasionally I view an old post while troubleshooting something and a Reddit page has the answer. Always with an ad blocker and old Reddit though of course so Spez gets nothing from me

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

I did. Used a tool that purged my entire history.

not enough

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

I am switching between Sync for Lemmy and ReVanced clients for Reddit, generally since Lemmy doesn't have enough content that is interesting for me (ff14 community is basically dead on Lemmy, random maghjong riichi content is not there on Lemmy, world/news is basically the same as my meduza feed instead of random "what's around the globe", specific/non-general memes are not there, discussions are not active).
I hope it improves with time. I much prefer the notion of ActivityPub than that of centralized SM, but I guess the only real way forward is to force content gatekeepers to implement open apis...

I have dropped it, approximately by 98%

I mainly browse Lemmy here with Sync for Lemmy, and when I want some more niche stuff I head up to Reddit with patched Sync for Reddit, so yeah, Sync is always with me.

Another +1

At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

I've been almost exclusively on Lemmy, but even after several months still miss user content on some of the more niche communities like my local sports team subreddit. I'll still hold out for a bit longer, if only to see what else is out there, but the itch is real.

I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.

Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.

Maybe make a poll?

I still use it occasionally for some things, though I’ve noticed a steep quality drop on Reddit. I spend much more time on Lemmy.

Lemmy > Discovery, Reddit > Specific Subs that haven’t yet migrated.

Dropped it and haven't looked back.

I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.

Stopped using Reddit when Infinity died

When Sync stopped working on Reddit, I found kbin and Lemmy, and haven't looked back. Especially with Sync being on Lemmy. Reddit isn't worth the agitation anymore.

I dropped Reddit, but I'm still not 100% into Lemmy. To put it another way: Reddit was a pinned tab, as is Mastodon, webmail, Qobuz, and a whole bunch of other essentials. Lemmy is unpinned and gets looked at briefly every 2-3 days.
