Yes I am
Yeap, I moved a week before on Lemmy. Took couple of days to figure out how it actually works.
During that time opened a bunch of accounts on different instances.
Now I am on a small instance, which is near my location, so speed is good.
I stopped visiting that place since then. Now I only contribute here. I don't want to give them free labor so that they can make money.
In early June I decided to give Lemmy the old test drive, and I haven't left. Bye Reddit.
Yes, for sure. Felt like Reddit where going downhill for a long time. This frog is finally jumping out of the pot.
I use lemmy occasionally. I do feel the impact of a significantly smaller community though. A lot of the subreddits I would regularly check are not even here. So unfortunately for now, Iβm forced to use the official app. Tried the RSS route too, but it seems it would be too expensive for me.
Iβm sure the lemmy community will continue to grow, so Iβll stick around.

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.
I don't even know anyone named Lenny. o.O
Joking aside for the most part I'm already pretty much more on here than there at this point. Only thing I still go there for is the one or two communities that I'm part of there that have no counterpart here. r/typewriters mainly.
Tbh, no. I never used Reddit much.
I did. I had one sub that I wanted to keep up with so I added them into my RSS reader and spend my time on Lemmy.
Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.
Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.
I quit reddit June 12th, popped in on a few subs on the 30th to say goodbye, then immediately hopped on Lemmy. It was a nice detox honestly.
I havenβt been on Reddit since Apollo went dark. Iβm done with it except for a couple specific communities until similar ones are available here.
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.
Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, havenβt used it since
I have cut off Reddit since June 12th. It's been a nice detox. While not everything is here it's okay with me. I have a 1 year old to chase around that's been primarily keeping my attention anyways.
I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.
The reddit app is just bad and slow.
Trying to
Yes. It's different enough that I am not taking it as a one to one replacement, but moving on to a quieter, calmer place.
I thought I might use Tumblr for another angle of replacing part of reddit, but it doesn't seem to be the place for me. I'm not a rabid fan of any one thing, so it seems like so much hype and I don't like the lack of conversation there.
This place has the threaded comments, and respectful conversation.
Yep
