I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I deleted my reddit apps and decided to not use it anymore, so yeah, I am only on Lemmy now using it on desktop and on phone I use jerboa for lemmy
Same. Deleted accounts, uninstalled app, installed Jerboa, and replaced the bookmark with my instance.
i have not been back since the blackout started.
Same here, deleted my profiles, one of which was about 10 years old.
I gave up Reddit 100% the day the blackout started, so by default… yes. Way more time on Lemmy. As someone that isn’t on these sites that much of the time, I like Lemmy way better since I can actually contribute and have conversations. On Reddit I’m only ever replying to a post once there are a thousand replies already and it’s always buried. Here it’s much easier to chat.
I was thinking about setting up an instance to help me learn some more development stuff and practice my Terraform use, or maybe build an iOS app to learn Swift in my spare time… but I don’t really have spare time, so those things have a 99.9% chance of not happening haha.
Second this. Though if Lemmy gets really popular, same thing will happen.
Eternal September comes for all sites eventually. Arguably, we’re the first waves of Lemmy’s Eternal September for some folks here.
Last week I switched from 100% reddit / 0% Lemmy to 0% reddit / 100% Lemmy overnight.
Fuck /u/spez
I am spending no time on Reddit and a little time on Lemmy, so yes.
100% on Lemmy, I used a script to remove all my comments and posts from my account. The account is still there, but totally empty. Is Kbin accessable via Lemmy and vice-versa? Reddit is dead to me,
I quit using Reddit entirely when the blackout started. I didn’t immediately jump all in to Lemmy, but I’ve found myself checking in more often and staying on the site for longer periods of time as it continues growing
Yeah, uninstalled reddit and everything. Finding the nicest lemmy app was the most annoying bit, but settled on wefwef for now.
About 25% of time is spend here. I feel like Lemmy isn’t “there” yet but I want it to be. I’m thinking of creating my own instance with a custom GUI with a light-weight, less cluttered interface with some custom defaults.
10% on Reddit, 10%-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin - beats the pants off of other platforms IMHO, which is surprising considering it’s early development. The combo of content from both Lemmy and Mastodon instances is pretty darn cool.
10% on Reddit, 10-15% on Lemmy, 10000% on Kbin
>100% error!
How are you manufacturing extra time‽ The greatest physicists of our day want to talk to you!
(Unless you mean to say that you spend 100x time on Kbin what you used to spend on Reddit…that makes more sense…carry on.)
I don’t miss a thing about reddit. I was using the platform for about 9 years and the whole debacle about who gets to profit off our content resulted in me moving to something less shitty. SO far, Lemmy has proven to be what the internet was before big corporations took over and I will stay here. I just started donating to the patreon for lemmy.world (or rather mastadon.world, but same dev) and I intend on staying here. I like the engagement so far and hope that the community sticks with this platform. Thanks to reddits malarkey I was introduced to the fediverse and for that I am thankful
99% time on Lemmy, 1% on Reddit telling people to migrate to Lemmy.
Technically yes, but I spend 0 time on Reddit soooo.
I stopped using Reddit entirely. It’s got too popular for its own good. The API thing was the last straw. Feels like whenever the money men take over something it goes to shit. These walled gardens are cancerous in a way that the average user doesn’t understand until it’s too late. The EU is the only big institution that is pushing back against this tendency and my countrymen decided they wanted to leave because they are too stupid to understand this kind of nuance.
Down with proprietary, closed, throwaway culture. Long live open, transparent, modular, reusable technology.
I’m currently enjoying Lemmy through Jerboa on Android!
EDIT: I’m now also using WefWef, which is virtually indistinguishable from Apollo. I’ve never used Apollo though so I’m getting still getting used to it, but I like it!
I can’t seem to find a way to edit comments on it, though… So I here am back on Jerboa 😅
