Pretty much. I'll def never log in again.
Partially.... It's similar situation that I have with Twitter and Mastodon. Simply, there are subreddits that not have (yet) the equivalent on Lemmy or refused to move to Lemmy (or moved to Radle)
yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't
Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.
Sadly, no. Just not enough content on Lemmy, yet.
As somebody who just uses the mobile site on Firefox, I didn't really feel affected by the API changes (besides the fact that Reddit once again showed their ugly face). All the subs I care about feel unchanged.

Mostly
A couple communities I enjoyed haven't come over yet but now that I can only check them on my PC I really only hop over there once a week.
I really dig this place over reddit though, it's a lot more chill and way better for my mental health.

Yes. I got off reddit a while ago due to privacy and censorship issues on top of pushing/promoting content that annoyed me or I didn't have any interest in. Been on the fediverse for a while and enjoyed that and was happy to hear there's a federated reddit alternative.
Yeah for the most part I have. Thereβs still a few things and reasons Iβm still using it for. I expect that it will become less and less as time goes on
yes. been on reddit for almost 10 years, and all of those were on RIF. Miss it but i hope this will be a great new place to call home :) hopefully more folks migrate over
Yes, but I've found myself browsing a lot more on different sites too. Instead of opening RiF to find stuff, I just look at YouTube or redgifs directly. Turns out I never needed a middleman for that, so there's no need to use the fediverse for that now.
The important news and discussion is plentiful here, so that'll be my main purpose of opening wefwef or whatever app is better.
I'm trying to and succeeding for the most part. I find a lot of my Google searches still lead to Reddit.

Yes, as should everyone.
trying
Yeah, well, Reddit still has a lot of niche stuff and smaller communities. Lemmy is still growing at a fast pace and will get there one day, but for now - it's better then Reddit for tech/linux stuff.
Preaching to the choir to ask this here, tbh
but, yes.
Yeah, I take regular breaks to go fuck around on 4chan from time to time and rather than come back for my seasonal reddit adventure, I chose Lemmy.
Basically a drop-in replacement. Does Infinity have support yet?

"docile alligator wants to continue relations with Reddit and make Infinity subscription based so he's obviously not going to do this himself (since that would definitely end relations with Reddit by breaking terms of service)."
Ughhh LAME
Be the Community You Want to See On Lenny. Whereever 2 or more are gathered in his name, Lemmy Bruce will be there.
I never really used Reddit. I would scroll through it if I was really bored and occasionally post but never that much. I stopped because of the API just because it was really easy to stop. It could only be good for me to remove that one other thing that tricks my mind into doom scrolling. So will I be using Lenny? It would probably be good for me to not and go do more productive things. But I feel like if I have free time, supporting this is definitely good, I really like the goal and don't want it to die.
Iβm trying to, but finding a good client and trying to find replacement communities isnβt as straight forward as Reddit was.
Iβll be spending more time on here since I got a random 3 day ban without a reason. This has been happening every few months.

Yup, I bailed on Reddit a couple months ago and just discovered lemm.ee. So far, so good.
I am not I've found it - its nice to have a real "FRONT PAGE" again.
No bots reposting for Karma, no ads.
just people on a forum - like how reddit used to be.
Im so happy I found this place
Now that Boost no longer works, I have no reason to go to Reddit. Lemmy all the way at this point.
I'm using it on my phone, but still browsing Reddit on PC. Going well so far and I assume as I find more communities on Lemmy that I enjoy my use of reddit will slowly decrease.
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. :).

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.
Yep. I was on Reddit for 12+ years, and used Apollo for many years recently. I never used βnewβ 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.
