I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy

i have not been back since the blackout started.

Absolutely! The vibe is more chill. There's not the content churn there was on Reddit, but when I examined my consumption habits on Reddit I realized most of the churn was just reposts anyway. Lemmey is all the meat, and none of the fat.

I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.

I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.

I have bookmarks to Reddit I use on desktop, old version so I can get updated on niche stuff. I use Reddit about 1% and always with Adblock and logged out.

100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,

I stopped using Reddit entirely. It's got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn't understand until it's too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.

Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.

I only use Reddit when I'm forced to now. I don't do it on mobile at all.

I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.

Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.

Fuck /u/spez

Stopped reddit completely on my phone because Boost died. On my PC I still open it by habit sometimes, but doing it less and less.

10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it's early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.

About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn't "there" yet but I want it to be. I'm thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.

i am here to browse less, and engage more. I hope to spend about the same amount of time on Lemmy as I did on Reddit, as everyone's time is finite. I am not going back after browsing through the communities, which I think will grow in time.

Engagement is key

Well I am now. Now that Slide quit working. I was looking at both. I still can see Reddit in my browser at home but this was a nice kick in the pants to make me really focus here at lemmy.

I am mainly a mobile user. Unfortunately the Lemmy apps are still pretty limited. Despite that I refuse to use Reddit from now on even though I find myself often opening Apollo (muscle memory I guess), I always close it immediately. Really hoping the lemmy apps improve as I see a lot of potential.

Yep, I moved completely over. I miss the smut, admittedly, but with the principles at play I think I can make the sacrifice :)

I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn't immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I've found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing

Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.

I vehemently refuse to support Reddit in any way. I deleted all my accounts and apps. When google answers my question with a Reddit link I access it through the way back machine.

Reddit has proven time and again that it is anti community and that it will stop at nothing to satisfy their greed. Anyone who understands the dynamics at play and still drives traffic to them is proving that the masses can be manipulated to go along with anything

Quit reddit entirely after the blackout. Was kind of a wake up call for me. Not to go way over the top but wanna move away entirely from the Zuckerberg empire(WhatsApp, Facebook & Instagram), Twitter and even LinkedIn(if this is even possible?). Baby steps.

I've quit reddit 100%. I was a little bit addicted, so I used the blackout as a way to quit cold turkey. Lemmy kind of scratches the itch, enough that I don't go back to Reddit, but I don't spend as much time here as I did there. I'm counting that as a good thing

Yup. I was using the official app and I just went cold turkey on reddit. Now just on lemmy. I used the jerboa app for a few days but it's slow and I get a timeout toast anytime I do anything, so instead I installed the lemmy.world PWA

I only use Lemmy now as a daily app, I just use Reddit as a glorified backlog (to search for some tech problem, or some product buying recommendation). For better or worse, there is a lot of useful information in there, but I won't actively engage with the website anymore.

Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.

99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.

I'm currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!

EDIT: I'm now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I've never used Apollo though so I'm getting still getting used to it, but I like it!

I can't seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though... So I here am back on Jerboa 😅

I'm on kbin but I've barely been on reddit at all since I switched. I'm enjoying watching the fediverse grow and begin to mature into the begining of a real threat to major social media monsters like reddit, twitter, Facebook, and others.

I am... but they nuked all my main/alts except a few. I keep them to keep control of my mod rights, but its coming to a point of I don't want to bother.

I don't miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful

Used Power Delete Suite to edit all my comments and point to lemmy.world on my main account. Only check Reddit once every few days to upvote spez debauchery.

First thing I did was uninstall Relay.

Then logged off reddit on the desktop.

Put Jerboa on the same home screen spot where Relay was.

After a few days deleted my reddit account. Wasn't much of a commenter so just a simple delete for me.

I don't really enjoy Jerboa so whenever I reach for that spot I just remind myself to go to firefox on my phone and go on kbin or lemmy.

I used reddit mostly for doom scrolling and getting frustrated at world news and politics I cannot really influence. So the switch for me was kinda easy and after 12 years I really enjoy something new. I'm also fairly into technology and I am really fascinated by the concept of federation and I really hope it will be popular. I also hope that not all of reddit will move here, because I feel that reddit became huge and you got a sense of emptiness and hopelessness while browsing over there. If that makes any sense.

I haven’t been back. Creddit can get fucked. Apollo deserved better.

In saying that, I have missed the abundance of content. In saying that, Lemmy has grown in order of magnitudes since I got here a few weeks ago. And after the June 30 API cut, I think this place will jump in users.

I’m spending much more time here now that I am spending at reddit. I’m hoping for another big influx of users (and therefore content) on July 1.
