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.

Yep, left reddit and came to lemmy.

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.

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

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've mostly moved here, though some of my favorite subs dont have an equivalent community here as of now and I'm a bit bummed about losing them.

Mostly.

All I'm on Reddit for now is to watch it burn and to participate in the one subreddit I truly care about on there. I'm not participating in anything else on there at all.

Been here for a few days. Feels like home

[–] xxkickassjackxx@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I am 100%. Sadly i don’t think most Reddit users will until lemmy becomes easier to use and gets a functioning IOS app.

[–] Fleecer74@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Use https://wefwef.app it’s like Apollo for Lemmy

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

TBH I could have continued using Reddit as it was in may. Now I'm basically kicked off of a Reddit experience that doesn't treat me like livestock in a cage (the official app). So here I am.

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

Yes. This is my new Reddit replacement

[–] goodgame@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Well, this is nice, hello

[–] xeger@lib.lgbt 2 points 2 years ago

Haven’t quit Reddit yet, but I am only posting or commenting to Lemmy and I exhaust the feed here before browsing Reddit.

I’m not highly involved in any communities there, else I’d attempt a mass migration.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 2 years ago

Who is Lenny?

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Please dont tell anyone how I live

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

Other than some specific subs, yes

[–] ERRR00000000000@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Not totally. Reddit is a shithole but it's my shithole

[–] SarcastiSnark@lemmyverse.org 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm trying. Since boost stopped working. I have been on reddit twice. It's a painful shit experience now and I hate it.

But also. Lemmy isnt quite enough yet. But it's helping me stay off the web more.

FB sucks. Reddit sucks and lemmy isn't itching my need for information.

Oh well. :).

Yes. Fuck bullies.

[–] nonexertion@lemmy.run 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

In early June I decided to give Lemmy the old test drive, and I haven't left. Bye Reddit.

[–] pixelPastry@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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, I’m forced to use the official app. Tried the RSS route too, but it seems it would be too expensive for me.

I’m sure the lemmy community will continue to grow, so I’ll stick around.

Yup. I was checking in with reddit for a while there but have stopped. I like the vibe of this place so far.

Yes. For me, reddit was Apollo, haven’t used it since

[–] sveri@lemmy.sveri.de 2 points 2 years ago

I like it way more here. It's so much faster and there are no ads.

The reddit app is just bad and slow.
