I quit when Joey for Reddit finally got taken down.

Honestly, the people here seem kinder and more intelligent, even if I don't agree with what they're saying.

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 meow-bounce

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

Left after I found lemmy

I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.

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?

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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

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 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.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I did so that's at least one.

Maybe make a poll?

Not for Lemmy precisely, but I said f it and never gone back(excluding random click). Trying to help AK community I was involved past few years. Moderating a bit on kbin AK magazine, but mostly either spend time on Discord where mix of reddit and non reddit sitting. Mastodon for more serious information and interaction with Lemmy, while Misskey for Arknights fanart/art with hopes that some federates to Kbin magazine(lately # not picking up sadly). Waiting for better mod tools, federation fixes.

I'm pretty much done with it. I do the occasional search for piracy content with a search engine but other than that I get my fill of internet surfing elsewhere.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Me too. I haven't used Reddit at all since RIF stopped working on 1st July.

[–] Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

I did for Lemmy + Tildes + a bit of Hackernews.

I dropped reddit and I don't really use lemmy that much either

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I guess you could look at how many users Lemmy added during the drama, most likely near 100% of those were Reddit refugee. I did switch when it became clear reddit overall was getting too shitty, too big & corporate.

Stopped (regularly) browsing it mid-June. Still haven't deleted my accounts because I am still not sure if all of my comments and posts over there have been truly cleaned off.

It's a pain when search results point me to Huffman's site, but with the Privacy Redirect add-on redirecting me to an alternative frontend, and failing that, manually checking the archived version of the page, I've mostly eliminated any visits to that place.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

I did. Barring search results.

[–] vamp07@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I maintain my account for reference, but rarely visit unless I'm searching for something unavailable here. All my interactions take place here.

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I tried using reddit again twice since the exodus. it's just not the same.

Does use include viewing it in search engine results? Or do you mean actively posting to it?

I do the former but not the latter.
