Not replacing. But trying to be honest. And I'm liking Lemmy with "Connect" app pretty much.

Can't believe Reddit can't pay to any of these Devs to revamp their shitty low performance app.

But anyway. I'm like the idea of the Lemmy instances etc.

Trying. But the experience isn't all there yet.

[–] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Still checking Reddit a bit, but mostly because I've been following the war in Ukraine there a lot. Not checking other subs as much and installed Lemmy Connect, which makes Lemmy nicer to use than Reddit

Yep, there's just a couple communities stuck on Reddit that I still look at, but overall I'm around 80% Lemmy 20% Reddit now.

[–] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I already have. There are some specialized subreddits I still peek at, but otherwise it's Lemmy all the way.

Infinity is still working at the moment but today I removed it from my home screen and replaced with a Lemmy app. There isn't a community replacement for every subreddit I follow just yet but hopefully Lemmy and other Fediverse services will continue to grow.

[–] Popinguj@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I registered to try it out. Looks nice so far. Hopefully more users switch and start filling this place with content.

[–] S3mI@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I haven’t been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. I’m done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.

[–] Stylus2650@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.

[–] arthur@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

In the quest for endless growth all publicly traded companies eventually have to cut costs, jack up prices, or both. The investors expect a return on their investment.

Lemmy doesn't have that debt.

[–] snor10@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.

[–] nigh7y@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I've already managed to replace Reddit on mobile. On the desktop, however, I'm partially there. There are still a couple of communities I follow that only exist on reddit.

[–] james@lemmy.jamesj999.co.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

[–] RomanceDailies@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I am definitely replacing Reddit with Lemmy/kbin. I am done with Reddit.

[–] Peeko@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

If reddit kills my patched third party app then I'm done using it on mobile, and if they kill old.reddit then I'm done using it on desktop. I'd switch to Lemmy or kbin full time but the content variety is VERY low compared to reddit still, especially for more niche topics like specific games or hobbies.

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

Yes. Fuck reddit

[–] Bz2486@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

100%....Havent even looked back since last Friday around 7 when RIF stopped working...spent a couple hours finding Lemmy and eventually Liftoff, I have a new home now

[–] Atiran@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used β€œnew” Reddit or the official app. Quit and uninstalled Apollo a few days before the 1st.

Lemmy feels like home. And the fediverse concept is super interesting to me.

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

I’m trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isn’t as straight forward as Reddit was.

I’ll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)
