Still scroll reddit for certain communities, but the conversation here is refreshing and I find myself participating more, that's a good thing. Lemmy needs sustained engagement more than a honeymoon phase. We will see once third-party apps shut down.
I've spent all my time between Lemmy and kbin.
It's been a lot of fun, and while I know it's a little fractured, it's been giving me a really great bit of variety
Since I deleted both of my reddit accounts I've spent all me social time on Lemmy. First couple of days sucked, but now I'm really enjoying it.
Same. I'm scaling down my Reddit use and preferring the use of Lemmy. So far, many of my main communities are still Reddit first, but that is decreasing ever more.
I guess it's currently about 70/30 percent of my time split across these two, favouring Lemmy in spite of the fact that I'm not yet following all the communities that I want to follow.
On reddit i usually was 1 hour a day, now I'm 3/4 on kbin. Imo it's more entertaining than reddit
I haven't used Reddit for a week already
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.
Just kbin on desktop, but I'm still using Apollo. Not sure what's going to happen on July.
I only get info from Reddit now and comment almost exclusively here. Old stuff is still good there, but it's time to move on
As soon as I found couple of the most valuable (for me) communities here, I was done with reddit
Exactly, and there's honestly no need for them to have 100,000+ people in them either. 1,000 people goes a long way too. There's a point of critical mass when you can have sustained discussions and there are enough upvotes to form a sensible feed by popularity in the community, and that critical mass isn't that huge IMHO. There also often comes a moment when greater popularity is detrimental and worsens it.
I could also jump onto Lemmy almost right away as my most loved communities were already forming here. I think Lemmy has a better outlook than Mastodon in this regard because the community is waiting for you, rather than Mastodon is expecting you to form your circle, which can take a lot of effort in the midst of fediverse confusion.
Yes, since yesterday I replaced Sync Pro on my screen with Jerboa, so I click it dozens of times per day. Today I haven't go on Reddit once.
@AskThinkingTim No, I mostly used Twitter (still) and used Libreddit and Stealth for Reddit because I didn't communicate anyway
I bailed off of Reddit three months ago, after /r/Pathfinder2e started reaching peak echo chamber.
Yes. Rotating between Lemmy & Kbin.
Actually getting work done during the day also.
Reddit on Mobile is completely dead to me and I will only use it on my desktop for specific searches if the info is not available elsewhere (last resort).
0.1% of the time wil be spend on Reddit, with an ad blocker of course.
My Kbin account has been seeing quite a bit of usage today if that counts.
What's the advantage of kbin? I haven't tried it yet.
I honestly don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess, it would be being able to interact with the Beehaw crowd.
Are other lemmy instances not federated with beehaw?
As far as I'm aware, only lemmy.world and some other instance I forgot the name of got defederated by them.
That sucks and seems pretty short sighted :/
Does this mean posts from beehaw will not be in my lemmy feed, or is it simply I cannot interact with those posts in such a way that beehaw users would see?
Im 90 % Lemmy and 10% Reddit right now. But i think that i soon will be 100% Lemmy. Only thing that stopping me from making the switch totally is some minor things about the mobile apps for Lemmy.
Jerboa could use some work, but it's like 85% to perfect
The biggest thing for me is not being able to go to a reply from my inbox.
my biggest problem is, that i have to create multiple accounts to watch my furry anatomy threads
I used the be on Reddit every night for hours. Now Im on Lemmy for that time. There is no common sense there Reddit started to get boring and going waaay to far left. If you had any other opinion you got banned. Im more center than anything
Yup, stopped using it before the blackouts, deleted my account and now I'm here..or on kbin. But Lemmy feels a bit more to my taste.
Yeah I realized I don't use reddit for much. If it's just an endless meme scroller I can get that elsewhere. I was never big into any one community and beside the occasional shitpost, never had much karma either. I'm going to give lemmy and kbin several months and see where it goes
I have only opened reddit when it returned search result of something very specific. (Yes without account and with add blocker. I am done with them)
